1 | Is God fair? | Ps 11:7 | robbitybob | 2229 | ||
A casual observer would have to concede that God is often not "fair" by any human definition of fairness. God requires justice and that often over rides fair play. From God's point of view was it fair to send His son to the cross? No! but God's own Laws demanded payment for sin. Was is fair of God to allow Job to suffer the way he did? Again one would have to say NO. We have to look beyond the event and try and see what God is doing. For more depth on this question, go to my webpages and read the articles called "God is in control" and "Living in a pressure cooker" http://pages.zdnet.com/rwfortune/theclarioncall/index.html |

2 | Is God fair? | Ps 11:7 | charis | 2250 | ||
Dear robbitybob, Good points and good website! As Chris said, "God is JUST" Amen! The Bible speaks of reward, and also of reaping what you sow, very clearly. However, when it comes to salvation, everyone is saved equally (fairly). Nobody can be 'partially in Heaven' or 'partially in Hell.' Here on earth, and in His holy presence, we have varying ministries, gifts, talents and rewards. But these are not in the human sense of 'one above another' or one more righteous than another. More, it seems only to be that one may have more responsibility for service than another. Certainly, 'reward' cannot be in earthly currency. Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |
