THE FALSE JUSTIFICATION

The picture is depicting the false objective justification presented by the General- Conference churches.in which they falsely claimed that 

Christ's robe of righteousness covers our sins (filthy garments) and this is how we stand in the judgement. 

THE FOLLOWING IS QUOTES FROM A G.C S.D.A. PASTOR Marvin Moore - Conquering the Dragon Within.

“And what did the father say to the servants? Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him’ Luke 15:22. Please notice this, because it’s crucial:

There’s no indicating in the story that the father said, ‘Before we put this robe on you, son, I’d like you to run thought the shower. Also, let’s have Mother wash those dirty clothes. We don’t want to soil the family’s best robe with the filth from the pig sty, do we?” 

37. “No! The robe went right over the dirty clothes, symbolizing the robe of Christ’s righteousness covers us, sins and all. God does not require us to clean up our act - to overcome all of our sins

or even some of them - before He covers us with Christ's robe of righteousness. Christ’s righteousness covers all our sins. His perfect character stands in place of our flawed character, and we are accepted before God just as if we had not sinned.” “Now let me ask you a very practical question: ’Does Jesus remove the robe every time we make a mistake? The answer against is No! A thousand times No!” “I trust all Adventist agree that when we first come to Christ He pardons us and declares us righteous in relating to those sins we committed in the past. But I’m telling you that justification is also a robe that God puts over you, which you continue to wear as you live your Christian life.

As long as you keep that robe on, He justifies you instantly when you make a mistake and your relationship with Him - your assurance of salvation remains unbroken.” " Marvin Moore - Conquering the Dragon Within p 38,39 .

So God does not care to make a difference (His righteousness becomes a cloak for sin and evil). No cleansing of sin is effected by His righteousness in us. God and Christ really approves of sinful Christians.

THE FOLLOWING ARE QUOTES BY

WAGGONER PRESENTED AT THE 1888 GENERAL CONFERENCE 

On the concept of justification, Waggoner showed that it is a work of God in making therepentant sinner righteous.

“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law,” “we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified,” said the apostle. The meaning of the word “justified” is “made righteous”. This is the exact term that appears in other languages, which are not composed of foreign terms. The Latin word for righteousness is justitia. To be just is to be righteous. Then 

we add the terminating fy, from the Latin word, meaning “to make”, and we have the exact equivalent of the simpler term, “make righteous”. E. J. Waggoner - The Glad Tidings p 40

Waggoner proved also that in justification the person is made obedient and keep the law. “The just shall live by faith, it is necessary to have a clear idea of what the word “just” means… To be justified by faith is to be made righteous by

faith. “All unrighteousness is sin” (1John 5:17), and “sin is the transgression of the law” (1John 3:4). Therefore all unrighteousness is transgression of the law, and of course all righteousness is obedience to the law. So we see that the just, or righteous, man is the man who obeys the law, 

17.

and to be justified is to be made a keeper of the law. Ibid. p 59

“Justification carries the law on the face of it...It establishes the law in the heart. Justification is the law incarnate in Christ, put into the man, so it is incarnate in the man…” Genera lConference Bulletin 1894 p 75

In showing that to put on righteousness is not a cloak for sin but a real change in the heart asexpressed in Zech 3:1-5:

“And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee; is not this a brand plucked out

of the fire? Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and stood before the angel. And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will

clothe thee with change of raiment. And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments.”

Waggoner says.

“Let no one cavil over the expression, ‘putting on righteousness,’ as though such a thing were hypocrisy…It makes a vast deal of difference who puts the righteousness on. If we attempt to put it on ourselves, then we really get on nothing but a filthy garment,… The righteousness with

which Christ covers us is righteousness that meets the approval of God; and if God is satisfied with it, surely men ought not to try to find anything better.”

“Notice in the above account that the taking away of the filthy garments is the same as causing the iniquity to pass from the person. And so we find that when Christ covers us with the robe of His own righteousness, He does not furnish a cloak for sin, but takes the sin away. And this

shows that that forgiveness of sins is something more than a mere form, something more than a mere entry in the books of record in heaven, to the effect that the sin has been canceled. The forgiveness of sins is a reality; it is something tangible, something that vitally affects the

individual. It actually clears him from guilt; and if he is cleared from guilt, is justified, made righteous, he has certainly undergone a radical change. He is, indeed, another person…. And so

the full and free forgiveness of sins carries with it that wonderful and miraculous change known as the new birth; for a man cannot become

a new creature except by a new birth. This is the same as having a new, or a clean, heart.”
