Understanding the heresy of social justice and collective salvation -

[Guest shiloh357]

Social justice is heresy to the Religious Right, but we all know what Jesus Christ taught about social justice.

This is the most shameful thread I've come across on Worthy.

Actually, Jesus never taught anything close to social justice. Social justice pertains to complete economic equality. Social justices works off of the notion that a need on your part mandates a moral responsibility on my part to meet that need. Thus, my money is really YOUR money. In social justice, money is a collective commodity that belongs to everyone. The Bible never teaches any such thing.

Social justice is based on Marxism, who was himself an atheist. There is nothing biblical about social justice. It is rooted in humanisim of Marx, not the teachings of Christ.

We are told to look after the poor, the widow and orphan, but there is no command given to us to eliminate poverty.

Social justice is a perversion of the gospel.

Why, Logos K?

Because social justice (caring for the poor, feeding the hungry, etc.) is a cursed inconvience for those who worship at the altar of the Almighty Dollar. Because it presents an obstacle for the rich wanting to get richer. Because the rich don't want to acknowledge their fellow man and they feel they shouldn't have to. Can you not see why I am so disgusted?

Regardless, God does not advocate stealing from the Rich to take care of the Poor.

He advocates that the individual believer provide for the porr from the heart of Christ.

So what are you doing about the situation while you make demands of the rich?

Btw, you will always be rich compared to most of the rest of the world. Therefor, if you believe in the social justice gospel, give up everything you own to a charity of your choice and live on oh about $1,200 per year.

Just do not demand anyone else do so. Or prove to me in scripture that anyone has the right to take/steal money from anyone else in the name of social justice.

Matthew 6

1

[ayin jade]

What is the sin in the passage below? What is permitted and what was the problem?

The possessions and money were theirs. That was acceptable. They were free to give as much or as little as they wished. The sin was in saying they were giving all of it when they did not. The sin was not in keeping part of it. This too flies in the face of the false social justice gospel. I think the social justice gospel might be the end times deception.

Acts 5

1

[ayin jade]

2 Corinthians 9

7 Each one, as he purposes in his heart, let him give ; not of grief, or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.

That is a clear instruction to give from the heart, not to be forced to give, and not to give all they have in the name of social justice.

Logos, I've discussed this topic many times on worthy. The issue isn't whether or not we should give to the poor, the bible is crystal clear that we should, the issue is HOW... and what the people here are screaming for is to be able to do that voluntarily and from the heart instead of forced to do it inefficiently through the government.

I don't think all capitalists are hard hearted people who don't want to give to the poor, just like those who live under more socialist regimes aren't necessarily tender hearted. Infact... there is a thread around here somewhere, talking about the effect that government welfare does: it separates the christian from being aware of the true needs in the community.

There is nothing wrong with being rich. It is the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil, not money itself.

Absolutely. Money is an idol to many but many others do a lot of good with their money. It just depends on the heart.

"It is the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil, not money itself."

Yes, I know that. But the rich tend to love money. And the richer they are, the greedier they get. There are places where people have to sift through piles of garbage in hopes of finding something to eat. There are places where parents sell their children because they can't afford to feed them. I find the disparity between the super-rich and the desperately poor to be beyond horririfying, beyond disgusting. And I'm not a Liberal or a Conservative or a Centrist or anything else. I have no political affiliations.
