Tim: Thank you for clarifying the difference between the words "fair" and "just". I should have gone further in explaining what I meant. I wrongly assumed that the meaning of my Note was so obvious that even someone with one or more college degrees could get it. As a pastor friend of mine once said to me, "If you present the scriptures and other facts and merely leave people to draw their own conclusions, their conclusions will usually be wrong." How true! If I didn't know that after years of teaching adult Sunday School classes, I know it now, after 4 years on the Forum. Grace to you, Kalos * * * * * * * * * * * * * revelationcommentary.org www.solagroup.org In addition to commentary on the entire book of Revelation, this site includes a glossary of terms related to the biblical end times, plus answers to common questions about the false prophet and second coming. |

Apologies to you, my friend. When I read, “WHERE IN THE BIBLE does it say that God is FAIR?”, I took that to mean, “Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God is fair”. When I read after that, “God is JUST”, I took it to mean that God is just, but not necessarily fair. I find it difficult to imagine how someone can be just without being fair, and I certainly thought that God was both. Therefore I responded to that which I understood not. Please accept my apologies. If you can do that, and if we can agree that God is both just and fair, then he is pleased, I think, and all is well. |

Aixen: Your apology is accepted, but not necessary. :-) I never thought that God was unfair. My point, which I failed to make clear, was and is that the Bible doesn't apply the term "fair" to God. The word the Bible uses is "just." I think Tim explained what I meant better than I did. :-) Grace to you, Kalos |
