About This Quote

The Just God means God is fair. In the Bible, the Hebrew word for "God" is Elohim, which means "the powerful one." The reason Elohim is used to describe the Lord of the Universe is because He is the one who created everything and brought it into existence. Therefore, He’s a powerful God. The problem is that some people get the wrong idea about God and His justice.

They think that God is a tyrant or a sadist, punishing people for no good reason. They think that all of the bad things that happen in the world are God’s doing. The truth is that our world has enough bad things in it without adding in spiritual wrongdoing.
