What Ellen g white says about Christmas?

Ellen G. White, a co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, expressed a critical view of Christmas, suggesting that the holiday has become overly commercialized and focused on materialism rather than spiritual significance. She emphasized that the true spirit of Christmas should center on reflecting the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, rather than engaging in lavish celebrations. In her writings, she encouraged believers to honor Christ through acts of kindness and charity rather than through extravagant festivities.

Can 7th Day Adventists eat king fish?

The thing that determines what fish we can eat is that the fish must have both fins and scales.
NKJV Leviticus 11:9 (The Lord is talking here) "These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, that you may eat."

King fish is a general category of fish so I can't say yes or no, but that's the verse of the bible that states what in the sea is clean. For instance crab, squids, and jellyfish, are all unclean because they don't meet both of specifications.

What do Seventh-day Adventists do if they need blood?

They go to a blood bank or a hospital and they get a blood transfusion or receive blood by IV, just like anyone else. Seventh-day Adventists are not like Jehovah's Witnesses and certain other groups that believe that people should not give or receive blood. Some Adventist churches and schools actually stage blood drives, asking all of the members to (voluntarily) donate blood to save other peoples' lives.

Why is Seventh-day Adventism considered mainline evangelical by some people if they teach that evangelicals are apostate Christians with the mark of the beast?

Within Seventh-day Adventism there are two main strands: those who hold firmly to the old SDA doctrines, and those who have modified them somewhat and consider themselves to be evangelicals.

The question comes down to the accepted authority of Ellen White's writings in SDA circles. On this basis, we can assume that some SDAs still argue that Sunday observance is the mark of the beast, based on her teachings.

Yet SDAs do not seem to promote this view. A google search brings it up in an anti-SDA site, which insists that it is really SDA doctrine even if they do not promote it. You can make your own judgment on the fairness of that approach.

If indeed SDAs have this doctrine in their doctrinal DNA (namely in Ellen White's teachings), it raises the difficulty that applies to any Christian group that declares that one person holds the truth on all questions. We know that even Peter and Paul disagreed over Jews and non-Jews sharing meals at one point in time (which was resolved at the Council of Jerusalem). This experience should make us cautious in assuming that one person will always have all the answers.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Ellen G White was not only part black but that she had a Jewish heritage?

It is highly unlikely that Ellen White was either part black or Jewish, but even if she were, this should make absolutely no difference to anyone. If it makes a difference to the reader, he or she should think on what that says about his or her own prejudices. Would being black make her prophecies less accurate or reasonable (or more accurate, for those who don't accept her)? Would her being Jewish have any effect on her gift? Remember that Jesus himself and the apostles were Jewish. In any case, if you consider that she was born in Maine, where blacks were not common, in the early 1800s, when interracial relationships were very rare, the likelihood that she was part black seems very slim. A Jewish ancestry for her also seems doubtful.
