Left wing Evangelicals continue to be a puzzle to me. They seem to have a rebellious spirit, anger, and hate. They seem to be involved in activity and cause. I hear little from them about Grace, Salvation (except that they say they're saved but show no growth or Scriptural maturity), and they seem to stand against, not for, Christian values and the Gospel. They do not seem to understand Biblical Truth.

In other words, they seem to fall right into the last verses, 18-32, of Romans One. Those verses describe a society under the Judgment of God. That generation is described as having having hate, irrational anger, no Spiritual understanding, a having a mind that does not know how to comprehend Truth.

Well, we’ll have to define the term “Left-wing” since it is a very broad term.

At best, I would call some of them MISGUIDED.

They talk about a God of love all the time, and ignore the fact that this God they claim to worship is also a God who PUNISHES SIN.

Hence, they would say that God loves the homosexual. True, but God also hates the homosexual act. They focus on one and ignore the other.

Secondly, on economic issues, they equate love for your fellowman ( e.g. being a good Samaritan ) with government safety nets.

In other words, if you are not for “Universal Healthcare” ( AKA “Free” Healthcare ) for example, then you are not compassionate in the same way the Good Samaritan is, and you would rather leave your neighbor by the wayside to die from his sickness.

If you do not welcome refugees from Syria, you are ignoring God’s commands to welcome the stranger in your land.

You can understand a lot of this mentality by picking up Jim Wallis’ SOJOURNERS magazine and reading some of he articles there.
