2. 'Counterbalancing justice with mercy'- is that for those who atone?
3. If God really does exist and s/he created the world ala Genesis- why is it flawed? San Andreas Fault, shifting plates, volcanoes etc.

1. What we are actually talking about are consequences not justice. God's justice doesn't come into play until judgement day. What happens to people as a result of consequences will be inconsistent because no two situations are identical or comparable.

2. The has only ever been one who could atone and that was Jesus Christ.

3. God created a perfect world but with the fall the world became imperfect.
