he is god
Answer:
God balances justice with mercy by considering what is in the heart of an individual - whether there remains any chance/possiblility of repentance. If that possibility exists, God is:
2 Peter 3:9New International Version (NIV)9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
However, there will come a time when those who refuse to repent will perish.
God of Justice and Mercy = El tsedek verachamim (אל צדק ורחמים)
I think Jesus was the first great religious teacher to balance justice with mercy.
Given the constraint of the question, "if justice is inconsistent with mercy," then God could not deal with sins in any just fashion. If justice is consistent with mercy, though, then the answer is easy. Mercy comes to those who accept mercy, and justice to those who do not. ==new answer== Justice and mercy are compatable. Karma, or the necessity of repeating experiences until they are understood is just. Mercy is the relief from experience through understanding. they are both part of the same universal law of balance.God satisifed the need for justice by placing the sins of the world on His only-begotten Son Jesus Christ. There on the cross of calvary, the sins of the world were dealt with by the death of God's Son, so that mercy could then flow to all who believe.
tender justice with mercy
Justice is defined as giving one their due or what is owed. Sin violates justice because God is not given the loving obedience He deserves. Strict justice requires that until we pay an infinite price for offending the infinite majesty of God, God must withdraw from us and we must suffer death and the effects of sin. However, through His mercy, the Son of God became man to save us, and offering Himself on the cross, was able to pay the infinite debt owed to God. Because He is God, He is infinite and able to pay an infinite debt; because He is man, He is able to act on man's behalf. Therefore, through God's mercy, salvation is available to God and the demands of justice are still met.
The motto of Eastern Mennonite University is 'Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God.'.
Good question. Many people believe that Justice and Mercy have one meaning, but in my opinion justice is when the maintenance and administration of something that is just esp. by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims and the assignment of merited rewards and/or punishments. On the other hand mercy is when someone shows compassion and forbearance to another, esp. to an offender and/or to one who is subject to another's power. Many people don't come up with these questions, but that's an interesting question. Comparing justice from mercy is simple, you show mercy in justice, you can't have mercy without justice in a matter, and you can't have justice without mercy in a matter, it's plain simple.
