At the cross, God’s justice was meted out in full (upon Christ), and God’s mercy was extended in full (to all who believe).
So God’s perfect mercy was and is exercised through His perfect justice.
So, to recap: god's perfect justice was meted out to an innocent individual and not those who had actually garnered it (which is unjust) in order to extend mercy to those who did deserve justice (which is, according to the severity of the justice required in the narrative... unjust). Still don't see the problem?
Nope. Because there isn't a problem.
Jesus is God, and He volunteered for the mission.
I can't remember whether you told me that you were a Christian or just your wife was, but have you ever actually read a book about Christianity written by a Christian that explains what Christians believe?
