To say that justice is served ‘in eternity’ is unverifiable and, therefore, dismissed.
That’s part of my definition of what it means for God to be just. If you think another definition of God’s justice is superior, I’d like to hear an argument for that. Even if justice has to be served in time…
Evidence and reason are the most objective ways of determining truth. Faith is an inconsistent and highly subjective criterion. While the verification principle may be unverifiable itself, it is the best we have.
A thing is defined by its attributes. If the attributes of a deity include omnipotence or omniscience, and you accept that Jesus was neither in his life, then he was not a deity. If you accept that he was, then you prove my point and contradict yourself.
Of course, one could argue that an omnipotent deity would be able to make himself powerless, but he would cease to be a deity if omnipotence were a necessary attribute of the divine nature. This and other problems with the concept of omnipotence show the inherent contradiction in the concept itself. And since a contradiction can’t exist, a god defined by this attribute also wouldn’t exist.
