[quote:10pdsi1h][quote:10pdsi1h]So…then you do what you can to get your son some help and put him in a treatment center. That’s still love and justice.

God is love and justice comes from God. True love would produce true justice. Justice and love can never clash because they both come from God.

Justice can be seen as a fruit of love or a result of love.[/quote:10pdsi1h]

[color=darkred:10pdsi1h]Perhaps it’s because I was seeing it in light of Hell. Would this be a fruit of love? Wouldn’t that be Justice trumping love?[/color:10pdsi1h][/quote:10pdsi1h]

If you loved your son you wouldn’t let his error persist. One can’t tolerate sinful behavior. that isn’t justice triumphing over love, it is love driving justice.
