Can man judge whether God is fair? Over and over I hear people pronouncing in one way or another that God is "not fair"*. Sometimes this is stated directly, other times indirectly as in "that doesn't seem fair, therefore God must not be that way."

My question is, are we humans in a position to judge whether God is fair or not? If so what standard do we use to define fair? How should Christians handle issues of "fairness" and how should we respond to these accusations against God?

* Often with the conclusion: therefore I will not believe in him.
No. God's ways and thoughts are so much above ours it's difficult to understand.


  Isaiah 55:8-9 (NLT)
  &nbsp;8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
  &nbsp;9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so my ways are higher than your ways
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
