Ellen G White Says She Saw The People Of Jupiter In A Vision From God, They Were A Tall Majestic People. We Know That No One Lives Or Could Live On Jupiter Now So How Do We Accept All Her Visions As From God When This Is Clearly Untrue?

Ellen White Never said that people were living on Jupiter.
The following paragraph explains the situation
"Inhabited Planets in our Solar System. Contrary to some reports, Ellen White did not identify by name any of the "worlds" that she was shown in vision. Joseph Bates, a retired sea captain with a special interest in astronomy, was present during at least one of these visions, and he is reported to have identified the planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus as being among those described. Some have mistakenly linked Elder Bates' remarks to Ellen White's description of a "place" inhabited by "noble" and "majestic" beings. In Ellen White's own account of her vision, however, she says only that she was taken to "A PLACE" that was bright and glorious" (emphasis supplied). She does not identify "the place" as Jupiter, Saturn, or any other planet in our solar system. Here is her description: "The Lord has given me a view of other worlds. Wings were given me, and an angel attended me from the city to a place that was bright and glorious. The grass of the place was living green, and the birds there warbled a sweet song. The inhabitants of the place were of all sizes; they were noble, majestic, and lovely. They bore the express image of Jesus, and their countenances beamed with holy joy, expressive of the freedom and happiness of the place." Early Writings, pp. 39, 40. "

Well, you don't, you just put her down as yet another deranged evangelist, of which America has an unending supply.
