Do you believe that God is the just Judge of all humans?

[Bruce Leiter]

I think that Christian preaching and teaching has swung like a pendulum too far to emphasize God's love and mercy too much compared to his perfect justice. What do you think about his justice and his love?

What do you think about his justice and his love?

Justice
God is perfect. God makes and enforces the rule. Therefore, His justice is perfect. His ways are not our ways, His thought are not our thoughts.

Love
Volition to favor according to the degree of Divine likeness of the Object. The definition of AGAPE LOVE is a volition to favor. God loves according to the "degree of Divine likeness of the Object" where this is validated by the Colossians 3:14 which states "Love is a Bond of Unity". One can measure how much they are loved by God by measuring how much they are favored. Those who will spend 99.999999% of their existence are heavily favored/loved, well those who will spend 99.999999% of their existence are obviously not favored/loved.


Note: Holiness (moral perfection) defines all of God's moral attributes including LOVE. Therefore, God cannot love those who are immoral. Habakkuk 1:13b You cannot look on wickedness with favor/love, 1 Corinthians 13:6 Love rejoices not in iniquity)

Yes. God has made a way for all mankind to repent and accept Jesus as their savior. No other religions rely upon a diety that comes to earth and makes themselves a servant and sacrifices thereself as proof of salvation. That is why Christianity is unique.

Simply put when Christ died on the cross he meant it. He said, it is finished. People do not realize that now is the time your salvation is in your own hands so that their is no excuse amongst men or women. Everyone has free will to choose Jesus or follow the world which is ruled by Satan, until his Kingdom is set up at the end of days.

You do not have to prove anything or show effort towards being a good person. All you need is faith in his blood as the ransom and follow his ways in loving others as he has loved those that followed him. Corinthians explains what love is as a guide so it's pretty simple.

Faith, hope, love. Can you tell us of any other just way that mankind can improve upon his salvation other than Christ Jesus? I think not. Every other way is blasphemy.

He never approves of any lie, deception, or falsehood that is of the flesh, emotions, or from the enemy of Jesus.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd and is the only One Who Saves us from immeasurable deception all over the world.

God IS Justice and Righteousness!

"You could not possibly do such a thing: to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. You could not possibly do that! Won’t the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” (Genesis 18:25)

"The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and just is He" (Deuteronomy 32:4)

"Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: “That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged.” (Romans 3:4)
