Divine Justice

Divine Justice

I entered a state, and I heard that there was a verdict in one of my many incredulous arguments. In this argument, neither side was truly stating that they needed a savior, because both sides believed themselves to be morally correct. These arguments began about a year ago, and suffice it to say, a verdict was reached on one of them.

I saw light, and in my mind’s eye I pictured a balance — a scale at the end of it.

So what is justice?

Justice is this: even when you are morally right, and the other is morally right, a balance must still be found between the two. These are the most interesting declarations of justice, because they do not arise from one side being evil and the other being good. They arise from two sides, each believing themselves to be correct, each standing upon their own moral ground.

Even though I could continue to argue that I am more morally right, and the other could continue to argue the same, the measure of divine justice is that it finds a balance where both sides can say salvation has been reached through the argument itself.

For He is salvation, and His Son is Savior. But in some cases, the Savior is not needed in the way we imagine. In some cases, what is needed is a balance between two sides who each agree with themselves that they are morally right — whether they are the majority or the minority. A balance must be kept. A balance must be made.

The verdict was interesting because you could look at the statement this way, or that way, or from this perspective, or from another. Yet each state of mind, each approach to the argument, was somehow held within a divine insight. All of them were met. And they were met in such a way that the very utterance of the verdict understood, with compassion, every state and every perspective therein and thereof.

Both parties, once agreeing to each other, left me with the feeling that I could buy a cake for the other side and say, “Justice has been met. We can go about our lives now.”

And the court was adjourned.

What I am also saying is that there is divine justice. As with all justice, it will be met. Sometimes it takes time for this to happen, but it will happen. There will be justice.

But on the other hand, to those who would harm mankind, to those who would do harm to another, understand this: aside from the Savior, there is also the divine scale in the sky. And you will be met with that scale if the Savior is unable to smooth or relieve your injustice.

So both Father and Son exist.

And at least in my mind, after having been shown this, there is no refute upon hearing the words:

Divine Justice.
