Social Justice and Scripture: Untie the Knot Pt.19
According to Scripture, what is justice? Or what is judgment? (They are often interchangeable.)
Judgment always involves stopping and punishing a wrong-doer. That is the common feature when Scripture speaks of it. If no one stole from another or harmed another, there would be no need for society to provide judgment or justice. The need arises because men initiate force. Someone must judge between conflicting parties to prevent a feud.
