Thank you for the response.

I agree with most of what you posted including Gods provision in Jesus the Christ.

That puts us back to the question I asked which you did not answer; “Do you believe a righteous/just God can punish you or I for something He cannot prove a man/us can do? IE, live a sinless life.” 

May God our Father lead us to His truth, BVB

OK, if you want it clearer, yes.

He is just because He must punish sin and to not punish sin is an unjustice.

It’s especially an injustice to the victims of the sin.

However, it’s got nothing to do with whether He can prove or not something we can or cannot do. That’s not what makes Him just or unjust.

And what makes Him just is that even if it can be proved that God requires soemthing of us that we cannot give, He made provision for justice to be served without punishing the offender theough Jesus Christ, so really, the question is moot.

It doesn’t matter if He is punishing people for something they cannot do, be perfect. They have an out and they can choose to accept it or reject it. It’s on their heads then.

And the issue isn’t that God is punishing us for something we cannot do.

He’s punishing us for something we did do, which is sin.
