Featured In Defense of Social Justice

I understand you might imagine this, but it is beyond the pale of responsibility or ability for a worldly government, especially from a biblical perspective. However, I suspect you actually mean something other than fair, in other words something very unfair. Most socialists and communists do.

And this is precisely where your fantasy world falls apart. You have no worldly Christian nation founded on strictly Christian principles governing a strictly Christian populace, do you? No, you don’t, and you will never have one, especially that prerequisite third item.

Nevertheless, that said, if you ever do happen to convert everyone to Christ, I will reconsider.

 

What can I say? You are a master at ignoring posts and providing non sequitur. I think anyone reading the exchange can understand the disconnect, if he wants. As I’ve indicated before, it would be far better to first focus on 1 John, then keep it in mind while delving into Revelation.

By the way, I do agree that the world system is corrupt, and lament that the free world has so enriched communist China, when there is still such persecution of believers. And it is not the only such place.

 

But to be accurate you should have.

I'm not controlling the audience. This is all publicly viewable. And this discussion is not purely academic.

There is worldwide mass murder of babies in the womb and many Christians are speaking out against it. However, other Christians seem so concerned with satisfying their own greed or that of others that they actually encourage such slaughter in the name of "progress" and "social justice." Their priorities are backward.

 

My own righteousness is at absolute zero, but by God's grace I am cloaked in the righteousness of my Savior. What SDA leaders think or do is irrelevant to my spiritual standing. Not sure what the purpose was in your above post; comparing ourselves in spiritual matters to anyone but Christ will lead us astray.

 

I find your statement intriguing. Please provide scriptural references to support it.

 

You seem to overlook the fact that in the NT Books written to the Church we are NOT told to correct social injustices!. Instead, we are to live transformed lives -- full of the Holy Spirit -- and care for fellow believers, NOT the anti-God world of sinners.

 

I am disappointed that you offer no scripture references to validate your statement.

 

Why is it that the Apostle Paul never commends "the Good Samaritan" or tells his readers to do anything similar to what Jesus told His audiences? Could it be that Jesus "came unto His own" (Jn 1:1) and ministered to them as their Messiah? When the Jews rejected Him, things changed when the gospel of God's grace was preached to Jews but also (mainly) to Gentiles.

 

Where did I say to "correct social injustices!".

You have falsely accused me.

 

Forgive me if I read you wrong. I did not intend to misrepresent you.
Do you, then, believe that Bible-believers today are to try to correct social injustice -- or not? Personally, I don't see Paul commanding or commending that or anything similar -- or rebuking believers for not doing it.
