Where's the justice?

RE: Where's the justice?

Justice is served.

So the 'criminal' gets rewarded in the end while the one that did nothing wrong (apart from indirect blasphemy of the holy spirit by not believing) is punished?

This is considered fair? Why doesn't the murderer get some sort of punishment, because that would be justice at work.

It also assumes the Christian automatically gets saved and all non-Christian go to Hell. That said God, in His foreknowledge, provides each person with as much time as they need to choose: spiritual life or the second death.
I thought in your eyes hell was simply the non-existence of your 'soul' for all eternity. How does one get a second chance to believe if one is non-existent? Or maybe I've misunderstood what you mean by 'second death'.

Polaris Wrote:Well I know you won't like the answer, but according to Christians, it is not on their own merit whether they receive Salvation or not, but on the will and mercy of God (I think this may be unique among Christianity as other religions put the more of Salvation more in the hands of man).

So no. It's not justice, it's mercy.
So in other words the evildoer can be rewarded through salvation while the non-believer who possibly lived a morally good life gets the punishment? And all because of a trivial point which is if they believed in God or not? To me that sounds like discrimination... maybe that sounds kind of funny, but in all seriousness how can someone's fate be determined by which box they ticked to the question 'do you believe in God'? Why doesn't the evildoer get some sort of punishment?
