Imagine yourself turning on the TV and tuning into a courtroom trial. In your living room, you can see only what the camera shows you. You don't hear all the testimony. You don't get to question the witnesses. You don't get to see all the evidence. You don't hear the instructions to the jury. You're not privy to the conversations between the lawyers and the judge.

When the jury comes in with its verdict and the sentence is passed by the judge, how adequately can you assess whether justice has been done? We would not be able to know what justice required and whether justice was upheld if we are lacking information.

How then can we sit in judgment on God's justice? We don't have all the information necessary to judge whether God has been just.
