What is the Justice of God

in #wisdom5 years ago (edited)

Thomas Aquinas in his book Summa Theologiae explains that the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit are one wisdom. That is God is the perfection itself, his qualities like the eternity, the ommipotence, the mercy are perfections. When a quality is transmisible to men we say that this quality is a spiritual gift, a supernatural gift, when it is not like the omnipotence we say that this quality is a divine attribute.
Justice is not a perfection, not all justice is good. We cannot attribute imperfections to God. Justice is not a quality of God, justice is a human virtue.
The definition of Justice is "to give and receive proportionally", Aristotle. But there is a form of justice called exact justice (Rhetoric, Aristotle), sacred listening or spiritual gift of counsel: listen (perceive with attention), meditate (with intuition and inspiration), decide with creativity. This is in practical tems the justice of God, because this form of justice is the precise and the exact (condition of truth), is progressive (condition of way) and his goal is the increasing of life (condition of life). Way, truth, life are the conditions or characteristics that an action requires to be an spiritual gift or an ethical action, that is why Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life", John 14:6. Jesus personifies the gifts of God, Jesus is son of man.
The book of wisdom teaches us that the perfect justice, the justice of God, is the way to immortality (longevity): "For to know you is perfect justice, and to know your power is the root of immortality", Wisdom 15:3

In the gospel we have two cases of this form of Justice:
a) Jesus and the denarii: "Teacher we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?
He saw through their duplicity and said to them. Show me a denarious. Whose image and inscription are on it?
Caesar's they replied.
He said to them: "Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's", Luke 20:21-25
b) Jesus and the prostitute:
"Teacher, this woman was caught in the acti of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say? They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them: "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her", John 8:4-7.
