You know one of the answers: god works in mysterious ways.

does the person that thinks they are getting "Lessor", even if it was pure love based fairness, see it that way?

what about a third party that thinks, "that wasn't fair"?

then what do we do?

"Lessor"? Not sure what you're getting at.

Again, I don't know what you're getting at. If God choses to judges me, isn't that between him and me? Why does anybody else's opinion matter in the first place?

You mean was I like the apostle Paul and the rest of mankind?

Ephesians 2:1-3 " And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind."

Yes. I'm typical. Arrogance would be to suggest that we are somehow special and that God recognizes our greatness to invite us to Heaven.

lesser here just means they feel they got the short end of the stick for any one fairness judgement call.

It would be between you and him only if that's where it stayed. But we are talking about the reliability of god claims so the evaluation of the claims being told to us needs us to have a look see at what your god actually did.

So the question really isn't, "Is Christianity fair?" It's "Is God fair?"
