God's Justice?

[MelodyC]

Was God just when?

1) EX 12:12 "On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn--both men and animals--and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

2) GE 6:11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.

3) NU 16:23 Then the LORD said to Moses, 24 "Say to the assembly, `Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.' "

NU 16:25 Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. 26 He warned the assembly, "Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins." 27 So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing with their wives, children and little ones at the entrances to their tents.

NU 16:28 Then Moses said, "This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things and that it was not my idea: 29 If these men die a natural death and experience only what usually happens to men, then the LORD has not sent me. 30 But if the LORD brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt."

NU 16:31 As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, with their households and all Korah's men and all their possessions. 33 They went down alive into the grave, with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community. 34 At their cries, all the Israelites around them fled, shouting, "The earth is going to swallow us too!"

4) NU 16:35 And fire came out from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.

5) 1CH 13:7 They moved the ark of God from Abinadab's house on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding it. 8 David and all the Israelites were celebrating with all their might before God, with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, cymbals and trumpets.

1CH 13:9 When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen stumbled. 10 The LORD's anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

1CH 13:11 Then David was angry because the LORD's wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.

6) 1SA 15:1 Samuel said to Saul, "I am the one the LORD sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the LORD. 2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: `I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' "

God is absolutely just,he is the definition of just.
He sent his son to bring justice and reconciliation.

Was it actually God who did these things?
Or does God,like a good Father take the blame for his children and or his Angels.

Acts 7:30 "After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.

The old testament said God was in the bush.
The New testament says it was an angel that gave the law.
Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience
received a just recompence of reward;
Acts 7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

These angels seem to have a difficult time figuring out the nature of God themselves.

Job 4:18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly
Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly.
1 Cor. 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Through Christ we should have a better understanding of the nature
of God than the Angels,how else could we judge them.
Jesus set straight a lot of misconceptions about God's nature.

John 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
John 10:10 The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly.

The law is that thief,that's why a better covenant was needed.
The law says "don't" and Jesus said "do.
The law can not make you love but love is fulfillment of the law.

Jesus tells us that bad things happen to both the
righteous and unrighteous.

Luke 13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in
Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners
above all
men that dwelt in Jerusalem

MelodyC: with the exception of the 1 Chr 13 story, the actions reported were God protecting His kingdom on earth. The 1 Chr 13 incident came about because the Ark of the Covenant was, according to the law, to be carried only by Levites using poles fitted through the rings on each side of it, not on any conveyance. Since God's Spirit was on the Ark, men were forbidden to touch it under any circumstances.
