So, without using a concordance (yeah, I promise) it's from one cover to the other.

Are suggesting God isn't just? Or that He doesn't administer justice?
Don't be silly! But what does the justice of God mean, and how does it compare with man's justice: oh heck let's turn it around, how does man's justice compare with the Almighty One? Is justice you mess up, and your father will get you when you get home? Is Divine justice that, Alpha?

No, the 'Father' in Divine Justice is never gone. He's always home.

There's no comparison of God's justice(or anything else for that matter) with man's justice.

He is just.

Simple as that.

What was so silly about what I said?

Justice is justice. Again Alpha, how does the justice of mankind compare with the justice of the Sovereign One? After all "justice is justice."

So then, justice is justice is justice? If man's justice is not comparable with the justice of the Lofty One, and it doesn't compare, what is the justice of God? And what is the justice of man?

Justice=

The justice of God is that we should fear him, and obey his commands. Obeying his commands is the entire duty of man.

Today many murders have occurred. Upon conviction, the guilty party will be incarcerated or put to death. Would it be justice to let the guilty party go free? Would it be justice to allow an innocent man to take the place of the guilty and let the guilty go free? Why?

According to God's justice, no one could be saved.

But because of His mercy, He made a way.
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Are you saying the justice of God is not the final standard?

Yes, it is and will be the final standard.. BUT He has made a special way for those that wish to escape the death sentence. This does not mean that His justice was compromised... the death of His Son satisfies God's judgement when we accept it.
