Yes, judging from your point of view, because you think that you sum up everything in those terms; but you must understand that there are things which transcend the intelligence of the most intelligent man…

If He didn’t possess sovereign power, there would be something more powerful, or no less powerful, than Himself. He would not have created all things and those which He had not created would be the work of another God.

We can say that God is partially just and good because this is a world of tests and atonements. We have to overcome some trials so we can evolve.
