My dad believes that the OJ conviction was divine justice & God made things right.

My father-in-law says that OJ was consumed by his imorality that lead him to this day and God did not intervene.

OJ broke the law and got convicted this time around. That's evident and goes along with what your FIL said. As far as divine justice and God making things right, my belief is that God allows all the stuff (good and bad) in this life to bring us to an understanding of Himself. He is concerned more with the eternal than the temporal. I dont believe God decreed that OJ would be caught and convicted to make things "right". Christ death and resurrection already did that. Simpsons sin was paid for over 2000 years ago at Calvery, if he accepts that truth He will be forgiven the same as anyone else who comes to Christ. That wont change the fact he broke the law here and has to pay the price.
