Arguments for the existence of God

Justness of an existent God

  • if a just God does not punish, then how can there be justice in the world?
  • ex.
    • if God does not punish sins against oneself or another
    • then that God could not provide for the needs or desires of other people, including
      • a person treated unjustly by the unpunished sinner
      • a person who loves the unpunished sinner and who wants the best for that sinner
    • i.e., a just God cannot treat all people arbitrarily
    • therefore, a just God holds all people to a common law or standard
