I disagree wholeheartedly. He is the most just not because of what he technically speaking could be, but rather he is the most just because for what he is, and chose to be.

It is an absurdity to say on the one hand God has perfect attributes and one of them is Justice and then say he can choose to be unjust

It is not absurd, because he doesn't chose to be so. But just because he doesn't do any unjust act, doesn't mean he would not be able to. It just means that he chooses not to.

- its a fallacy because its an obvious contradiction.

Like I said, no it's not, because there's a difference between what God could do, and what he chooses to do. Like I said in my first post, the problem is choice.

If what you say is true then you can take each of God's 99 names and negate them: The Most Perfect can choose to be imperfect, the Ever Forgiving the Never Forgiving, the Utterly Just the totally unjust and so on and all because he can do whatever pleases him.

He can, but he won't, that's why he deserves those names.

That may be your God but he is not mine and not the one who has created such an ordered universe. If you disagree then explain why God in your words "does not want to.."

Because it is not his will.

You're running in circles avoiding the issue. My first post really explains all your objections. I don't see the point in further repeating them.
