What is the justice of God?

Question

There are many variations of Hell, i have seen at least 3 types. i have heard testimony of hell versions and the different versions of them.
So why is there a Hell, when God says of Himself there is no darkness and that He Loves all of us?
the answer in my opinion is simple, its becacuse in Justice God sends people to Hell that deserve to be justifiably punished! Most people that are repentant and do good works of righteousness dont go to hell, Basically only the unrepentant and criminals go to hell.
what is your opinion?

Answer 1

Anyone whose name is not found in the book of life shall be cast into everlasting fire, which is the second death.

Answer 2

Hell in that sense is the grave or tomb. Matthew Chapters 27-28 and it has no power 1st Corinthians 15. It was prepared for the Devil and the angels that followed him in Isaiah 14:13. There are 17 references to it in Scripture. It is permanent separation from God for eternity Revelation 22.

Answer 3

i would like to start by saying my opinion is COMPLETELY BIBLICAL. I don't know where you heard God say that there is no darkness because you sure as heck didn't get that from the Bible! God talks about Satan, sin, evil, and darkness throughout the entire Bible.

My opinioin is that God sends to hell all those who don't have a relationship with him through the sacrafice of his son Jesus Christ--and all those who have a relationship with him go to heaven. the Bible is EXPLICITLY CLEAR that salvation has NOTHING TO DO WITH GOOD WORKS. in fact, that's why Christianity and the Bible are so great...It's the only religion that does NOT require good works for salvation. That's my opinion and the Biblical concept of it all.

Answer 4

There is NO WAY you have seen Hell because there is no freaking Hell! What a silly, superstitious, brain-washed thing to say!

God doesn't punish ANYBODY! There is no "vengeful God," or any higher being that will hurt people for not being good. That's just a bunch of "Boogieman Bunk" people are told to keep them in line.

God should send people who believe and spread this kind of psycho-religious horse crap around to live forever in a skanky trailer park!

Answer 5

Justice isn't "god's characteristic." the two the assumption and the prepare existed long earlier honestly anybody ever theory up your god. "Justice" embodies 2 innovations: -- punishment for wrongdoing, the assumption being for human beings to work out which you're punished for wrongdoing, so as that it acts as a deterrent to others doing incorrect -- recompense or payback, so as that if something is stolen it quite is back, if something replaced into broken it quite is paid for. In severe societies, if a life is taken there could be no reimbursement so the perpetrator is compelled to offer up his very own life in "fee." You christians ignorantly seem to have self assurance that your bible replaced into the 1st element to have rules, rules, innovations of gods, and different such issues -- that's no longer the case. I propose you learn somewhat historic past, you may locate out that each and one and all the innovations on your bible have been around long earlier your bible replaced into. To paraphrase a large scientist: what's clever in the bible isn't unique, and what's unique isn't clever. Peace.

Answer 6

Of course God wouldn't send a deserving person to Hell. If you are worried that you might go to Hell you should quit doing evil deeds repent and accept Christ into your life. Then you will have nothing to fear.

Answer 7

John 3:36: "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."

We are all sinners, and we all need the grace of God. As Jesus Christ is the only way, rejecting Him means you must pay your own debt, and Hell is the place you do that.

Answer 8

Justice has already been satisfied when Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins.

When people sin, they are indebted to Jesus and he will be our judge. When we do not repent, then we are not worthy to be in the presence of the Lord for our lack of faith and obedience in Him. Therefore our reward for being disobedient and unrepentant is an eternal place in hell.

Answer 9

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

The Acts 10:34

God wants us all to be saved. only the wicked shall go to hell.

Answer 10

I just answered a similar question. God does not send anyone to hell. Free will extends to eternity. If someone wants to be where God is not, there is a place for them. He does not force His Love on anyone. We are free, not just for a season, but for all time.

Answer 11

Justice and Love are the reasons.

As for the doctrine of hell consider the following:

1. Wouldn't everyone repent when faced with hell?
2. Would God let out people who repented?
3. Why was Hell created?

One argument against hell is this: No person in his right mind would choose eternal punishment in hell over heaven. Therefore everyone would repent when sent to hell. If God lets the repentant leave, hell will be empty (and therefore can be disregarded). If God doesn't let the repentant leave, God is unjust for continuing to punish them after they've repented.

The trouble with this line of reasoning is that repentance is not simply a matter of one saying, "Okay, I'll say whatever you want me to, just get me out of here!" Repentance involves acknowledging one's guilt, feeling remorse and the desire to change one's behavior, accepting Christ's sacrifice as substitutionary punishment for one's wrongs and agreeing to love and obey God (including Christ as God the Son). This includes by definition acceptance of eternal punishment in hell as just punishment for one's sins; while the skeptic may still object that continued punishment of the repentant is unjust, the repentant will respond that their continued punishment is deserved and could only end through God's mercy.

However, in reality people in hell won't repent, in particular not any skeptic who makes the above argument. If one thinks God is unjust for punishing people in hell, actually going there isn't going to make one suddenly decide that God is just and deserves one's love and worship after all. People are given their entire lives on Earth as an opportunity to repent and accept God; if they refuse each day of their lives to repent and believe they're justified in doing so, it's hardly conceivable that punishment in hell would change their minds. In other words, the gates of hell are actually locked from the inside.

Since hell is comprised of those who would never repent, the second question, “Would God let out people who repented?” is only a hypothetical one; it could be argued either way. In practice, someone who would repent in hell would be given the opportunity to repent on Earth and would presumably repent before they died, not after.

As for eternal punishment for finite life of sin, the answer is that our sin bears an eternal consequence because it is ultimately against an eternal God. When King David committed the sins of adultery and murder he stated, Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight (Psalm 51:4). David had sinned against Bathsheba and Uriah, how could David claim to have only sinned against God? David understood that all sin is ultimately against God. God is an eternal and infinite Being. As a result, all sin is worthy of an eternal punishment.

An earthly example of this would be comparing attacking your neighbor and attacking the President of the United States. Yes, both are crimes, but attacking the President would result in far greater consequences. How much more does sin against a holy and infinite God warrant a terrible consequence?

In short, hell and heaven were created out of God's love for mankind as a consequence of free will. God could not have created a morally free creature who could not possess the potentiality to choose to sin. God, being perfectly righteous will righteously respect the choices a person makes and grant them the eternal life they sought through the exercise of their own free will. In short, we choose the behavior, and thus we have chosen the consequences.
