I can't stand your religious meetings.
I'm fed up with your conferences and conventions.
I want nothing to do with your religion projects,
your pretentious slogans and goals.
I'm sick of your fund-raising schemes,
your public relations and image making.
I've had all I can take of your noisy ego-music.
When was the last time you sang to me?
Do you know what I want?
I want JUSTICE—oceans of it.
I want fairness—rivers of it.
That's what I want. That's all I want.
-Amos 5:21-24 (The Message)
this passage convicts me every time i read it and yet at the same time it compells me to want to know what true JUSTICE is? if justice is what God wants then it 's prolly a good idea to figure out what it is. QUESTION.....in your opinion what is justice?

Tweez... Ghandi said to "be the change you want to see"... You are the church, you are Jesus style. Keep it real! You and Jenn ROCK!
Justice, to me....Truly giving God what he deserves and wants, which is for HIS people to live the life that glorifies HIM. Pastor said it tonight, pick up your cross and follow him. LOVE YA....
that perfection of his nature whereby he is infinitely righteous in himself and in all he does, the righteousness of the divine nature exercised in his moral government. At first God imposes righteous laws on his creatures and executes them righteously. Justice is not an optional product of his will, but an unchangeable principle of his very nature. His legislative justice is his requiring of his rational creatures conformity in all respects to the moral law. His rectoral or distributive justice is his dealing with his accountable creatures according to the requirements of the law in rewarding or punishing them ( Psa 89:14). In remunerative justice he distributes rewards ( Jam 1:12; 2Ti 4:8); in vindictive or punitive justice he inflicts punishment on account of transgression ( 2Th 1:6). He cannot, as being infinitely righteous, do otherwise than regard and hate sin as intrinsically hateful and deserving of punishment. "He cannot deny himself" ( 2Ti 2:13). His essential and eternal righteousness immutably determines him to visit every sin as such with merited punishment.
I guess this pretty much sums it up. What do you think?

do unto others as you would have done unto you-that is justice.
