Correction: when you stated "...unless you have divine powers..." YOU are the one making the assertion by implication that divine powers exist. Therefore, you shoulder the burden to prove their existence. Enjoy your popcorn.

Thirty years later, when you die and "go to heaven", you find the guy sitting on a cloud having lunch with your wife. Make sense to you?God is just: THEREFORE your scenario doesn't address Christianity.
Quote:So you get to heaven and meet with your wife's murderer. Ultimate justice, which you are now aware of, has shown this guy to be deserving of forgiveness. Where's the problem??
Where's the problem? By your line of reasoning, anyone who commits any crime is "deserving of forgiveness" by the Christian god. You cannot seriously think that getting to heaven to meet with the man who murdered your wife's is "ultimate justice", unless of course you have some serious mental problems, which is what I am beginning to suspect.
