[a fool in paradise]

Oh, I agree that there have been attempts to hijack church hierarchy (and drive things like getting church funding for abortion and divesting in Israel, etc).

But in 2004, the day after the election, the politicos were on NPR discussing the “God gap” and how it would be the secret to winning elections and they have been since then and it becomes more pronounced.

It’s all bullstalin. They are trying to find the terms to sell the agenda. The agenda is not derived from scripture.

[ETL]

having been in a denomination with a strong “social justice” emphasis,

"social justice" is definitely commie code language. As are "Liberation" and "Struggle".

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:

"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.

The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

Well yes, of course it goes BOTH ways; “Christian charity” is not a good reason for the government to collect taxes, neither is the government collecting taxes a good reason to dispense with ACTUAL individual enactment of Christian charity.

The government is not the legitimate enactor of Christian Charity; so opposition to government “charity” no more is an abridgment of ones Christian duty (as the liberal religious like to claim) than the carrying out of this government “charity” absolves its supporters of actually performing individual acts of Christian piety.

By the way, could you rewrite this sentence: “Yes, but only because of overextended liberal application w/in contexts by folks like Wallis and others.” I cannot figure out what you are saying here.

Jim Wallis & some of lameline Protestants have abused the term "social justice" to include areas well beyond a biblically based view of it.

Some overextend it to include...
...if heterosexuals can get married, why not homosexuals? -- including that as a "social justice issue."
...extreme environmentalism.
...population issues -- what they call "overpopulation."
..."reproductive freedom" -- a code phrase in and of itself as meaning open-ended condom distribution and abortion-on-demand.
The list goes on & on.

The "big tent umbrella" of 'social justice' is often "social unrighteousness!"

So, yes, I was agreeing that "social justice" has become more of a "dirty word" among evangelicals. If a distinction is made between true Biblically based "social justice" vs. anything & everything that lameline Protestants are placing under that umbrella, then it remains fine.

It's like the rainbow -- meant to convey a promise of God. But when homosexuals try to usurp it as their own, it gets into "messier" associations.

You have failed to understand what Glenn Beck is talking about.

No, as I've indicated above, I understand very well what Beck was talking about. The problem is that he didn't bother to make some qualifying distinctions...what he did was tantamount to jumping all over the rainbow just because the rainbow's been usurped by the "diversity" types.

Beck should have properly focused on the abuse & usurpation of "social justice" -- not on tossing the baby out with the bathwater!

Colofornian QUICK the direction of your Mormon Hate fest is veering off into other areas!

You better come up with some more crap and get it back on your agenda!

[Bellagio]

Dear confused Time, Jesus was a social engineer like Michael Moore is a fitness instructor. Jesus taught people to become “Christ Like” in their deeds and soul. He was not a community organizer but a spiritual guide. He spoke to individuals, not neighborhoods and nations. Please stop trying to find some way to scold Christians. Either you don’t know what you are talking about, or you do and you are attempting to mislead people. Jesus, unlike Mohammed, never attempted to become a secular leader.

Yes... That is the same way my Pastor explained it. Jesus was no social engineer nor called upon government, or men, to impose any kind of social justice. He was merely a spiritual guide who encouraged the individual to be moral & just... and seek redemption. Jesus was a representative of God, not a leader of men. He preached accountability and self-destiny which is a result of having the freedom to make our own choices... and that our fate must not be decided by someone else.

Glenn Beck is right. Be self-accountable and realize it is the man-in-the-mirror who must change... and not by stealing your neighbors change. Charity comes from the heart... not by force or the barrel of a gun.

Trust in yourself, trust in God, and hold on to Liberty. God Bless America and to Hell with all social-justice snake-oil tyrants!

Let me help, then.

Beck is a Mormon. I don't know what the Mormon Church is other than a cult.

No Hell, just ‘Three Heavens.’

Secret Golden Tablets that no one has seen.

In practice the social gospel inevitably ends up violating the commandments against stealing and coveting.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

If mainline Protestants, African-American, Hispanic and Catholic churches are offended perhaps they’ve been stung by the assault of truth as well.

Don't hold your breath. Many in here are more concerned about who said it rather than what's been said.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Hated has blined many. Be careful.

Oooooh. That means he must know nothing of politics and conservatism. Flog him now please. :-)

[Colofornian]

Thank you for your comments. (Feel free to bump the thread anytime)

The real Jesus loves you; the false ones don't exist.

Jesus practiced tough love on the religious legalists of his 33-year entempled life. And as the ole saying goes, "Comfort the afflicted; and afflict the (spiritually) comfortable" -- especially those who regard themselves as "gods-in-embryo."

Are you one of those so designated as a "god-in-embryo?"

[Invincibly Ignorant]

My Jesus is better than your Jesus. :-)

[reaganaut]

When Glenn Beck told listeners of his radio show on March 2 that they should “run as fast as you can” from any church that preached “social or economic justice” because those were code words for Communism and Nazism

- - - - - - - - -
Beck needs to research his own LDS church history and their United Order communism.

[BlessedBeGod]

Instead he managed to outrage Christians in most mainline Protestant denominations, African- American congregations, Hispanic churches, and Catholics...

He only outraged those who think that social justice is more important than Jesus, and that that's why churches were founded.
