I agree. My argument was an ad hominem, in the sense I was assuming the common presupposition of a justice that transcends God. A justice that is defined apart from the final authority and Law Giver.
In fact:

All acts and thoughts of God are good by definition. To subordinate God under a higher justification, would be to make justification into a god above God - which is a contradiction. Only the creation can be subject to the laws of the Creator and Law Giver.
But this (that is our Christian worldview) still offends our natural view of ourselves. We want to have a say in what is justice - but God is the final authority. To try to subject God to our justice, is like blowing into the face of a hurricane. Any sense we have of changing the direction of the wind is an illusion. The hurricane determines the direction of the wind.
