Where's the Justice?

[Drich]

What I meant in the OP is that it's unjust that some people never had the opportunity to give their lives to Christ yet they have to suffer eternally for something that was out of their control.

What I am saying is that a 'hard life' is not punishment. It's just life. So what if you would not choose a hard life for yourself. If it is your lot to suffer then you wll suffer. The only things is whether you decide to use that gift that suffering to know God better, or as an arguement to entitlement and turn away from God compeletly? Or have you forgotten God's servent Job? He was not being punished in any way shape or form. Job's gain from his trials was a more complete understanding of God. The understanding of Job's lot was also considered to be a gain for every generation that came after him. through a breif period of pain came tremoundous gain. Those who's lot is to suffer, do not suffer in vain.

The punishment is unjust because there was creation but no provision to ensure eternal life.

How do you know the limits of what has been provided?

[quote] I take it that with an understanding of agapeo this act of evil is justified, yes?[quote/] Sin is anything not in the expressed will of God. Evil is a malicious intent to be outside of God's will. How can this be a sin let alone evil? Unless you speak of a righteousness founded apart from the Righteousness of God. a personal sense of Righteousness or a Self Righteousness/morality based on what YOU think is right and wrong. Is it with self righteousness that you judge God?
