God is not fair

[jonathanbrickman0000]

I get what you're saying, but I don't like the pejorative words for God with negative connotation like "favoritism," "self-interest," "makes some blind," and "unfair." There have to be more-positive synonyms to describe him.

By the way, I think that John 9:39-41 means that God's judgment results in human blindness, not that it causes it.

I am very interested in what God has Personally said of Himself. He has said that He has killed and will kill a very large number of people. He has said that He has and will starve people to death. He has said that He will have mercy upon whom He will have mercy, and He has said that there are a very large number of people upon which He will not have mercy.

I think that these are all not "positive" in your terminology. But I shall not withdraw them based on your dislikes. Rather, I shall press them further for the general benefit of any readers, and I shall pray the Father to change you, in order that you will like Him, as He describes Himself, more.

So has God's killing been done in fairness ?

God has not used the word "fair" to describe Himself. So I do not care about any answer to the question you have asked.

The question arises from the title of this thread
"God is not fair"
Are we not supposed to discuss the title of this thread ?

Certainly, discuss. I'll suggest that the term "fair" is best to not apply to God, that God should not be called "fair", because God has never used the word to describe Himself.

I would disagree .
Peter's 3 year walk with God in the flesh, transfigured, and risen from dead, taught him that God is no respecter of persons.
Which is the very definition of fairness.
God is always fair.

Acts 10:34
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

 

[jonathanbrickman0000]

God is no respecter of persons. Neither does He give equally to all.

giving equally to all in God's economy is giving each according to need .
Which is also the definition of fairness distributed in the wisdom of God.
He gave only enough Mana that a person would need for the day .
