God is love. God is just. God is merciful.

You'll likely complain that it's not just to allow one person to pay the penalty for another. That's fine as your opinion. God sees it otherwise, and as lawmaker and judge it's his opinion that counts.

So, your god's justice is subject to his opinion? That makes it subjective. And since most people talk about objective laws when considering what is just and what isn't, your god's "subjective justice" is meaningless. He could just as easily be of the opinion that everyone should pay the same penalty regardless of actions and call that justice.
