A Question Protestants Can't Answer

by Protestant, I mean anyone affiliated with a church tradition that is descended from Luther’s break with the Catholic Church. If you’re someone who looks back at that historical controversy, like I did when I first became a Christian, and sides with Luther on it, then you’re Protestant. If you don’t agree with Luther’s reasoning, then you should be Catholic.
So, in examining Protestant theology, that’s where I look. What were the contentions of Luther and the people that rallied around him which is documented for us in statements like the Augsburg confession.
With that said, the question that I don’t believe Protestant theology, as described by Luther and the Augsburg confession is: Can God commit injustice?
If you say yes to that, then you depart company with the vast majority of apostolic and creedal Christianity which held that God is the Logos as described by St. John in his Gospel which means it is his nature to be reasonable and coherent. God cannot be incoherent for it would violate his very nature and unity.
And God, as scripture routinely reminds us is just and therefore incapable of injustice without being akin to the demonic divided house which Jesus says cannot stand in Matthew 12.
So, if you’re a Christian, I hope we agree that God cannot commit injustice, but what then are we to make of God’s mercy and forgiveness for our sins?
