17-19. Least Among Human Agencies—[Matthew 5:17-19 quoted.] This is the judgment pronounced in the kingdom of heaven. Some have thought that the commandment breaker will be there, but will occupy the lowest place. This is a mistake. Sinners will never enter the abode of bliss. The commandment breaker, and all who unite with him in teaching that it makes no difference whether men break or observe the divine law, will by the universe of heaven be called least among the human agencies. For not only have they been disloyal themselves, but they have taught others to break the law of God. Christ pronounces judgment upon those who claim to have a knowledge of the law, but who, by precept and example, lead souls into confusion and darkness (The Review and Herald, November 15, 1898).{5BC 1085.3}

17-19. Den ringeste blandt menneske-agenter. - [Matt. 5,17-19 citeret.] Dette er dommen, der fældes i Himmeriget. Nogle har troet, at lovovertræderen vil være der, men vil indtage den laveste plads. Dette er en fejltagelse. Syndere vil aldrig komme ind i lyksalighedens bolig. Lovovertræderen og alle, som forener sig med ham i at lære, at det ikke gør nogen forskel, om mennesker overtræder eller overholder den guddommelige lov, vil af det himmelske uivers kaldes de mindste bland de menneskelige redskaber. For de har ikke blot selv være illoyale, men de har lært andre at overtræde Guds lov. Kristus fælder dom over dem, der hævder at have en kundskab om loven, men som ved forskrift og eksempel fører sjæle til forvirring og mørke (RH 15. nov., 1898).
