Subject: Is God really just? |
Bible Note: Hi Ed, You ask, "Explain once more how only offering salvation through Christ to some is just for all." Offering salvation through Christ to some is just for all by NOT being unjust to any. To repeat, Offering salvation through Christ to some is just for all by NOT being unjust to any. God is an absolutely just God and gives to everyone what they deserve and witholds from no one what they don't. Rendering someone his due, giving a person what he deserves, is justice, . (Rom 2:6 who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS...) No injustice (injustice - NOT giving what is deserved) is done to a sinner who has never been given the opportunity to hear the Gospel, because an opportunity is not what he deserves. So, in my opinion, God does not teach us in his word that justice (giving us our due) entitles us an opportunity to hear the Gospel. You write, "for God to be just I see the need to offer salvation to all not just the elect." You also say, "I do not know how God will handle people that never heard the gospel." Now, Ed, Please explain (1) why God needs to offer salvation to all in order to be just. and (2) [a question of intellectual integrity] How can you say God is just (I assume you do), when you admit that some have not had the opportunity?
