Why complicate things?
The faith of a little child should be sufficient to understand.
[
Wasn't me who set the rules and the system. Yes, the faith of a little child is essential, but faith in what? Seems many have faith in all manner of different things, all of which are wrong and misunderstood. Hence these forums. The little child can have faith, sure, but it must be in reality. God wants us to know Him. You have often railed against those beliefs, often child like beliefs, that have no foundation in reality. That's why when getting to know Who God is that we may believe in Him, it is essential, even salvational, that we must know what He is like. His character. Who and what He is. Most presume, on the basis of a few misconstrued texts, all manner of things about God and how He works on behalf of man, which is why it is necessary to follow the pattern laid down of old. Not the new dispensational rapture Israel temple nonsense that so many use as a sign post to the second coming when make God look like an inept inconsistent unjust arbitrary dictator.
The entire debacle between Christ and Satan had its foundation in Lucifer's lies concerning the character of God. Those lies are still believed by 90% of the church. Does that mean they can claim they know God? No. It doesn't. They don't know Him. Which again is why we need to base our understanding on the whole of scripture, and not simply, "a child like faith".

“Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. ”

The way of salvation isn't complicated, it can be followed by a child, but it needs to be understood correctly, and taught to children in truth, and they will accept it. Many here may have once been taught the gospel as children, and accepted it as such. But they've subsequently been taught error, and they not longer understand truth as it is in Christ.
“6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him;
for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. ”
Revelation 14:6-7 KJV

Using the sanctuary as the foundation, we can know where we are in the stream of time, and come to know and appreciate God and His Christ in truth. Judgement is talking place now in heaven, so when Jesus comes to take His people home, the angels who gather the harvest are satisfied that who they are gathering together are the real deal. Time is short, and the prime focus for us all now ought to be getting to know our Saviour and sharing what we know of God's love, mercy and justice with the world. But in truth. Not with the threat of eternal hellfire. Not with the false promises of a rapture. Not with the nonsense of a temple built in opposition to the gospel as being prophetically necessary.
Thy way O Lord is in the sanctuary. The sanctuary we look to is in heaven where Jesus is interceding on our behalf. What He is doing and about to do there is a reflection of the true character of God.
Ellen White in her last paragraph of The Great Controversy, wrote...
The great controversy is ended. Sin and sinners are no more. The entire universe is clean. One pulse of harmony and gladness beats through the vast creation. From Him Who created all, flow life and light and gladness, throughout the realms of illimitable space. From the minutest atom to the greatest world, all things, animate and inanimate, in their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare that God is love.
