No, He can't be unjust - He's perfect and makes no mistakes.

The history of man in the entire Bible is about Almighty God our Creator who has been and is patiently dealing with potential children who do not want God telling them what to do. God would be unjust if He had not personally made possible the salvation of man from that rebellion. Jesus Christ had been the God of the old Testament. Was He unjust ?

No I don't think God is unjust. I think man interpretation of a fictitious God is unjust. The problem is man has been duped to think his fate if out of his control. Man is taught he is just in the middle of a fight between a good God and a evil renegade angel so he is not in control of his actions. This is why the teaching of a supreme being is unjust.
It is like man is committing all the atrocities to gain the favor of their God. In reality the poor worship God and the rich worship the devil if you do your research. To the wealthy people are just sacrificial lambs. That is the price of ignorance of the masses.

It is not possible for God to be unjust. Religions may make God appear to be unjust, but that's just fear in the hearts of the "faithful". Jesus said you'd be angry in heaven because of who else made it there. ANGRY IN HEAVEN? Knuckleheads.
I will not accept the standards of a being who would create hell and billions of folks he knew in advance he'd send to hell for all eternity and threaten me with the same if I don't say the magic words and worship it. Even a small child is knows THAT isn't loving or wise or REAL WORSHIP. Come on, you fakers. You think God is fooled by it?

Yes, God is unjust, and I think it's wonderful. The fall of Adam brought the entire human race into a depravity so deep that we could never again look to God for salvation. He would thus have been completely justified in leaving every single one of us in our sins and tossing us into the fires of hell, and would be glorified in this anyway. He almost did kill off the entire world with the flood, and the threat in Malachi 4:6 is indicative of what he still should do with us.
But He did not, for some reason. He not only effectually called and brought his own unto himself, he loved His sheep so much that he chose them from before the foundations of the world were laid. Awesome, huh?

How silly of a question. To think that you would want to change the definition of a word based solely on the possibility that it could having a different meaning. God means the just, stable being of the universe. This is true in a metaphysical context, and so in a physical context, knowing that the body is bound for the grave, that eventually, death is its reality, know God to be immortal and uncorrupted. And once realized, you ask yourself with a laugh, how can an immortal body not be just?

NO, but I do not believe in the god of the abrahamic religions. The abrahamic religions of christianity, islam and judaism have painted him to be a petty, blood thirsty, jealous, infantile monster. God does not hand out infinite punishment for finite crimes and bad choices. In fact there is no punishment. There is only consequence, good and bad...that are built in to the universe.

No, but I believe a lot of those who claim to follow him are. I am reaching the point where I may no longer be able to recognize them as Christians. The hate that comes from the fanatic, fundamentalist, conservitives is more than I can stand.

Let me get this straight: Gandhi, a leader in making the world a more peaceful place through peaceful actions, is sent (by God) to Hell because he did not "believe."
But, my Christian neighbor who tells me I am going to hell while she bakes cross shaped cookies to sell at a bake sale so that she can suck up to the pastor gets to go to heaven?
Yeah, that's unjust all right.

Perhaps by your standards, but certainly not by the standard believers attribute to God.
The Christian, Jewish, Muslim God is all powerful and the creator of all that is, and the reason for the existence of everything, so how can a creature created by Him set the standard. That is illogical.

No, I don't think he is unjust. However we all have to admit that when he judges, he judges with swift certainty and perhaps more severely than you or I would. But then, we are not totally righteous as He is either. We can be swayed.
