The dull man cannot know, the stupid cannot understand this:
that, though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction for ever ...
The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
They are planted in the house of the Lord, they flourish in the courts of our God. (Psalm 92:6-7, 12-13)
This world is full of injustice, but the message of Christianity is that injustice is temporary and justice is eternal. Every man has a choice between eternal life and eternal death. God wants life for everyone - that is why he gave each of us life. He gave us the ability to love, but we also have the freedom to hate. Heaven is eternal love; hell is eternal hate. You get to choose the path you want to take.
- unmole 8y ago> the message of Christianity is that injustice is temporary and justice is eternal The message of Christianity is that having faith in the blood sacrifice and reanimation of a savior figure is enough to receive pardon for all of one's inequities. I don't see what justice has to do with anything to do with it.
- cicero 8y agoMaybe you should learn some serious theology rather than a caricature and then you would see what justice has to do with it. I would suggest St. Augustine or St. Thomas Aquinas.
