The usage of 'justification'

Hi.

God created justification before man.

Does this expression make sense?

What does it mean?
  

Top answer

There is an inherent basic problem. Are we to think that *** created the concept of justification before man did, or are we to think that *** created man before he created the concept of justification. At any rate, without context, neither makes any sense to me.
