How can God be a good judge and forgive wicked men?

Question

15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
Proverbs 17:15

Answer 1

When you surrender in sincere repentance to His Begotten Son Jesus, hence cleaving your wicked sinful nature in the water and fire of spiritual baptism, then the Almighty God is no longer your judge but your legal counsel and defense attorney (Isaiah 9:6 KJV). You must apply the blood of Jesus for God to forgive, exhonerate and pardon your sins. No matter how wicked they are, the sins will be washed away in the baptismal waters of the Holy Spirit.

Great question, as usual. God Bless you always!

Answer 2

"justifying the wicked" is not the same as "forgiving the wicked". Forgiveness means that you no longer hold that person's sins against themselves. Justification means giving a reason for a person's sins in an attempt to excuse it.
Christ can forgive wicked men because He already paid the price of their punishment with His own blood. However, those people can only receive this forgiveness if they consciously accept this sacrifice on their behalf. Those who don't want to be saved, won't be.

Answer 3

The passage doesn't mean that God justifies the wicked and condemns the just. It's saying that someone who justifies the wicked or condemns the just are both bad in the eyes of God.

In other word, God doesn't like it when you allow bad people to get away with bad stuff. And he also doesn't like it when you punish good people for doing good stuff. Those are both wrong.

Answer 4

This really is a great question. this is something that we as mere mortals really fail to get to grips with.
It is dependant on the sinner asking forgiveness, But not only asking forgiveness but being totally repentent at the same time. Say for example Adolph Hitler with his very last thoughts asked for forgiveness and was truly repentent,he would be forgven, totally. We mere mortal are unable to react in that sort of way. That is why He is GOD.

Answer 5

Don't lose your orientation on this one.
Today is the day of salvation.
But, the day of Judgement is coming. For the unrepentant, It shall be the day when the ''wicked and those who condemn the just will be an abomination...''
Until then, we are in the day of salvation; one can still find forgiveness if he seeks it.

Answer 6

God can forgive an evil man because it is he who makes them evil.

Eph 1:11 "in whom we've also obtained an inheritance being predesignated according to the purpose of him who WORKS ALL THINGS AFTER THE COUNCIL OF HIS OWN WILL".

Not good enough for you right? How about this.

Ish 45:7 "I form the light and I create darkness, I make peace and I CREATE EVIL; I the Lord do all these things.

Remember that the Lord said that if evil is in a city it is only there because he has "breath evil into that city", and that if a prophet is deceived when he speaks a thing its because "I the Lord have deceived that prophet".

You quoted a verse from proverbs how about this one from the same book Proverbs 16:4 "The lords has created all things for himself, YES EVEN THE WICKED FOR THEIR DAY OF EVIL".

Jesus also said that "no man can come to me unless MY FATHER WHO SENT ME DRAGS HIM TO ME". God will eventually drag all of mankind to him and everyone will be saved, which if you can break away from the crap you hear in church is actually the theme of the whole Bible.

"How can God be a good judge and forgive wicked men?"

God does forgive wicked people, but they must turn from their wickedness first, and show that they are willing to have a change of heart, and recongnize that it is God who provides thier needs!

For unless we give credit to God for everything, then He's not going to help us, and something will go wrong sooner or later, no matter how hard you try to keep from it!

All Good things come from God!!
If there's something in your life that should'nt be there? Then you need to turn your attention to God, and ask for forgiveness, and then turn away from sin, and sin no more!
And put your trust in God, and He will help you to keep from being tempted!

Answer 8

there's a stability in all issues. Do mothers and dads advantages toddlers that misbehave? Do married couples love one yet another while there is abuse and betrayal? Do people who do all those issues you point out surely love God or do they want to be as a strategies away as obtainable from Him in any respect cases? Heaven is all approximately God your no longer likely to need to be there in case you hate, have not got faith, want to discover yet another holiday spot, we aim for the place we could desire to circulate. sure, there is often forgiveness yet some do no longer want to be forgiven.

Answer 9

Something you have to understand about The Bible; God is above his own laws. So are his favorite mortals.

Moses kills more people than Pol Pot in the name of his invisible friend Jehovah, but is one of the most "righteous" men in the Biblical mythos.

Job, another "righteous" man of God tries to hand over his daughters to a mob of would be angel rapers.

Jesus, the New Testament peacenik, condemns entire cities to eternal damnation because they don't approve of his teaching. (Matthew 11:20)

God himself, who mandates that men do not commit murder, kills MILLIONS for minor offences (like making fun of a bald man), and even condemns innocents to suffer.

God is suspect as a judge if you ask me... For instance when Job knocks up his daughters, neither Job or his daughters suffer the consequences, but their offspring are damned for eternity.

If you take the time to read the Bible, I think you will quickly find that Judge Judy has a more reliable sense of justice than the Biblical God and his band of merry miscreants.

Answer 10

because God sees the whole picture while we only see a small slice
would you kill Hitler before he came to power? why or why not?
how do you know that would be the right choice for the entirety of God's creation? so then you know God and are equal in wisdom and understanding?
there is a time to EVERY purpose under heaven...just because YOU don't understand it does not make it wrong it just makes you human.
