Justice and judgment are so conceptually intertwined it is literally impossible to have with former without the latter. Imagine a perfectly just judge, incapable of declaring the guilty innocent or the innocent guilty - under any circumstances. A judgment which does anything else is morally absurd. Unfortunately, popular theologies have made "justice" synonymous with "punishment" and "judgment" with "condemnation." Until the church learns to use better language about these things, the prevailing image will be our experience of unjust human judiciaries and distorted legal systems.
