No. God isn't fair. If he was, everyone would be sent to hell because we are all sinners.
God gives us an out. He tells us that we can be forgiven and live with him forever if we would truly believe in Jesus and ask for forgiveness.
God is just. He demands payment for our sin. Either we can lay them on Jesus...or we can stand in front of him with our own righteousness...which is filthy rags.

God isn't fair, He's just. What do we know about fair? The world has been screwy ever since Adam and Eve ate the apple. Then sin entered the world, which is why we have psychos and lunatics in our society. Sometimes God allows things to happen and we think that they aren't fair, but we don't see the big picture.

If there is a God, we would want Him to be fair. The thought of living in a world governed by an unfair God is somewhat frightening.

Of course God is fair. He is also just, kind, loving, merciful, and many, many others.
Many times we may think that God is not fair, such as after the death of a child or some such. But we do not have his knowledge and so don't have enough information to judge God.

GOD is fair, but not all of the Reward's in HEAVEN will be. Just like on EARTH, if you don't WORK you don't EAT. There will be different Spiritual Reward's in HEAVEN based on the WORK you did down here for JESUS. Now, is that fair???

Hey, he is GOD, kiddo, he doesn't have to be fair. Who are you insignificant one to question GOD. If he wants to make you rich like Bill Gates (an atheist) or poor like some hillbilly Christian, then that's up to the BIG GUY. He AIN'T GOTTA be fair.

Fairness is a human concept. God cannot be measured.

God is just and fair. He gives us free will to make our own decisions. If He didn't, we would be mindless robots. He allows natural law to take its course.
Who said life was fair?

I think that God is fair in that we all have the same free will to create our own reality and and our own experiences. We are all subject to the universal law of attraction. Emit positive energy in the form of beliefs, thoughts, words and actions and get positive experiences in return, emit negative and you get negative.

Yes because god does not micromanage. That is why people say he works in mysterious ways. Because they make up god to make sense of the world and why things happen but when things still don't make sense then they say god works in mysterious ways.
