Ellen G White again:
"I saw that as the Jews crucified Jesus, so the nominal churches had crucified these messages, and therefore they cannot be benefited by the intercession of Jesus there. Like the Jews, who offered their useless sacrifices, they offer up their useless prayers to the apartment which Jesus has left; and Satan, pleased with the deception, assumes a religious character, and leads the minds of these professed Christians to himself, working with his power, his signs and lying wonders, to fasten them in his snare."
Do you believe we are controlled by two spirits? We are either serving Christ and He explicitly tells us how in His own words Isa56:6, or by default, we are serving the devil.1John3:8 Rom6:16KJV
This is not an EGW teaching it is a God teaching
We can not serve two masters Matthew 6:24 we are either with Christ or against Him Mat 12:30
Being in Christ is more than I just believe He exists- its be living Christ, obeying Him through faith. John15:4-10 John14:15-18
John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life;
whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Christ right now is in His heavenly Temple and is interceding in our prayers
Rev 5:8Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense,
which are the prayers of the saints
God said, when we turn our ear from hearing the law of God even our prayers are an abomination to Him
Pro 28:9One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination
Which is what Jesus taught who is God when we lay aside the commandment of God - meaning we don't hear it, its not for me as He quoted directly from the Ten Commandments He said it makes the word of God of no effect and our worship to Him in vain Mark7:7-13 Mat15:3-14
If we continue in that path the Great Sacrifice of Jesus who died for all of us -now remains no more sacrifice of sin Heb10:26-30
Because John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life;
whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Its one thing to sin and stumble and ask God's help in overcoming and doing His will, being willing to do so- God can help us with that to overcome its a completely different thing to not allow God to be God and define His own law or what sin is or what righteousness is or what Truth is and each time this results in keeping the commandments of God which in the Testimony of God which there is no greater than His- He included all
Ten Commandments Exo31:18 Deut4:13 Exo20:6, not nine forgetting the one commandment He said Remember that man teaches the exact opposite, has tried to forget and instead fall trap to what He warned about Dan7:25
Ellen White is teaching that non-SDA Christians — including every Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Anglican, evangelical, and Pentecostal on earth — are in the same spiritual condition as the Jews who crucified Jesus. Their prayers are useless. Jesus does not intercede for them. They are being led by Satan.
This is not what she teaches- she teaches there are Christians in every denomination who love God and serving them with the light they have.
“There are now true Christians in every church, not excepting the Roman Catholic communion, who honestly believe that Sunday is the Sabbath of divine appointment. God accepts their sincerity of purpose and their integrity before Him.”

God hates those who sow discord. SDA claims that all denominations are spiritual Babylon. So 1800 years of Christian witness, sacrifice, struggle and good works are dismissed. And all on the word of someone who denies God's word.
Jesus said: Mat 10:34“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace
but a sword (God's Word)
35For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’
36and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’
37He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me 38And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me
God does not want us uniting and compromising His Truth- His Truth does not change.
Jesus is the Truth John 14:6
All His commandments are Truth Psa 119:151
His Word is Truth John 17:17
Why He speaks of a people, sadly a remnant who overcomes Rev12:17 Rev14:12 All are called - few are chosen because few respond to the call Heb3:7-19 Heb4:11 Eze20:13 Eze 20:15-16 Isa56:6
Non SDA are, according to EG White,
Spiritually “fallen” and rejected by God
Have had the Holy Spirit largely withdrawn from them
Offer useless prayers that Jesus does not hear
Have no intercessor, Jesus having “moved on” to the Most Holy Place
Experience only false revivals engineered by Satan
Make false “converts” whose hearts are “as black as ever”
Are “Babylon” — the corrupt, apostate harlot of Revelation
Are “worse than heathen”
Will, in the final crisis, become the persecutors of the faithful SDA remnant
Sounds like what we find in the Word of God
Pro 28:9One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination
Rev 12:17 "And the drago
n was wroth with the woman (church), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed
, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" — Revelation 12:17 (KJV)
No doubt you imagine that you are suffering that persecution now. Perhaps you should quit sowing discord and quit promoting SDA false teaching that slanders God's people.
God will sort out the wheat from the tares, not our job.
