ANSWER

The basic meaning of Justice is God's Holiness in contrast to Sin, and this is measured against the 10 Commandments. All other laws follow from these. The Standard used for Justice is always the Holiness of God; in the Old Testament it is defined by the 10 Commandments and then hundreds of other laws following on from that, while in the New Testament it is defined by the 2 Great Commandments and the Beatitudes.

Justice is a manifestation of God's Holiness, and and is always measured in relationto God.

When used of Mankind, Justice refers to:

  • - Right Rule,
  • -Right Conduct
  • -People getting their Just Rewards (no matter whether good or bad)

When used of God, Justice refers to His:

  • -Relative Justice
  • -Absolute Justice
  • -Rectoral Justice
  • -Distributive Justice
  • -Remunerative Justice
  • -Retributive Justice
