THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST FALSE CONCEPTS OF JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH AND THE DEATH OF CHRIST ( Readers discretion is advised - quotations contains ridiculing remarks towards Yahweh.)
The phrase itself is a figure based on law. The transgressor of the law comes before a judge and is condemned to death for his transgressions. But a substitute appears and takes the transgressor’s crimes upon himself, thus clearing the criminal. By accepting the substitute, the criminal now stands before the judge, not only cleared of his guilt but also regarded as never having committed the crimes for which he was first brought into court. And that’s because the substitute—who has a perfect record—offers the pardoned criminal his own perfect law keeping.
In the plan of salvation, each of us is the criminal. The Substitute, Jesus, has a perfect record, and He stands in the court in our stead—His righteousness accepted in place of our unrighteousness. Hence, we are justified before God, not because of our works but because of Jesus, whose righteousness becomes ours when we accept it “by faith.”" Adult Sabbath School Quarterly, October - November, 2017 edition, Salvation by Faith Alone:The Book of Romans, p. 30.
The above quotes are not biblical.
Christ would not stand in judgement in stead of the sinner.
Matthew 12:36-37 KJV
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. [37] For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Ezekiel 18:19-22 KJV
Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. [20] The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. [21] But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. [22] All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
1 Kings 8:32 KJV
Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH CAUSE US TO ESTABLISH THE LAW
Romans 3:28,31 KJV
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. [31] Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
