G.C SDA AND EVANGELICALS CONCEPT OF JUSTIFICATION

GENERAL-CONFERENCE S.D.A AND EVANGELICALS CONCEPT ON JUSTIFICATION IS LIKE SAYING YOU WASH YOUR HAND, YET THEY ARE STILL DIRTY, BUT YOU ARE SAYING "THEY ARE CLEAN IN GOD SIGHT'. That concept cannot be seen in scripture nor in the the natural world. it is False, it is a lie,because it is evident to you and your fellowmen that your hands are dirt, also it is doctrinal heresy no text in the bible supports such concept.
G.C POSITION ON JUSTIFICATION FROM TWO TOP MINISTERS
The emphasis is on God’s declaring a man just, the passing of a favorable verdict. Obviously the believer is not made righteous in the sense that he is no more a sinner. Justification does not make one man to that perfect state as God originally created him. The justified man is still in a sinful state. He (God) does not proclaim the sinner sinless, that would be a lie. The Christian is a justified sinner.” Edward Heppenstall - Salvation Unlimited p 55,56
“Again, justification is almost a fiction. We are sinners on the inside. Our characters are evil.But in spite of this plain fact, God treats us as though we were perfect on the inside. He can do this because “Christ’s character stands in place of” our character. What Jesus is like on the inside becomes what God considers us to be like on the inside.” At the same time that God justifies you, He saves you. He gives you eternal life. To be justified is to be saved. If you were to die the moment after God justified you, you would spend eternity in his Kingdom.”
“And this leads to an amazing conclusion: God saves you and me while we are still sinners. He does not demand that we overcome all our sins first, or even a certain number of sins or a certain kind of sin. He does not demand that we have a perfect character to be saved. He accepts us with the horrible record of our past sins, and He accepts us with the present sinful condition of our character.”

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...

MRS WHITE QUOTES ON THE 1888 MESSAGE REJECTION

1. “The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones.” — TM p. 91. 2. “God gave to His servants a testimony that presented the truth as it is in Jesus, which is the third angel’s message, in clear distinct lines” — TM p. 93. 3. “The message of the gospel of His grace was to be given to the church in clear and distinct lines, that the world should no longer say that Seventh-Day Adventists talk the law, the law, but do not teach or believe Christ. The efficacy of the blood of Christ was to be presented to the people with freshness and power.” — TM p. 92. 4. “This is the very work which the Lord designs that the message He has given His servants, shall perform in the heart and mind of every human agent….God gave to His messengers just what the people needed.” — TM p. 95. 5. “The Lord would have these grand themes studied in our churches, and if every church member shall give entrance to the word of God it will give light and...

EGW QUOTE ON SINFUL NATURE

We are told that Jesus had our “sinful nature.” “He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, 7/30/02. “In him was no guile nor sinfulness,….yet He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ibid. From what we have just read, we see that the term “sinful nature” for Mrs. White does not mean that the person has sin for she says that Jesus was sinfree. But what does sinful nature mean that the person? A. It means human nature affected by sin not infected with  sin. B. It means human nature weakened by sin, but not resided by sin. C. This is the Mind, Emotions/Passions, Flesh and Experience weakened by sin, but not necessarily indwelt by sin. D. It is quite true that man’s sinful nature, a nature weakened by sin, in the average sinner may have sin in it. So sinful nature for the sinner in sin is a nature weakened by sin, but the man has sin in this nature. E. This means the man has sin in his Mind, Passions/Emotions, Experience, and sin in his flesh is sin in his Mi...
