In Defense of Social Justice

Spirit-filled prophet-trainee?
All modern day Pharisees agree that the Apostle Paul was a prophet and had the authority to make Spiritual judgments.

Acts 13:9-10
Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him and said, "O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?"

So I asked a theoretical question to my challenger, who questioned my judgment: Are there lesser authorities that are divinely qualified to make Spiritual judgments? And are my opponents qualified to make that determination?

Are you saying that you oppose Christ's warning in Matthew 5:20 and any application of that warning by a Spirit-filled prophet-trainee whenever that true Christian encounters an obvious likeness to modern day Pharisees and teachers of the law?
No. However, my own righteousness is, in God's eyes, the same as that of those scribes and Pharisees - we all are fully deserving of eternity in hell. My spiritual standing is that of one who is sinless, thanks to being cloaked in the righteousness of my sinless Savior. That's the only way I, or anyone else save God, can have righteousness exceeding the scribes and Pharisees. Of course, Paul wrote to the Ephesians that we are saved unto good works, and our Christian walk should reflect that.

Let me guess: You're on the same side with those Seventh-day Adventist leaders in post #5 that teach that social justice is some sort of diabolical satanic plot? Where is your Scripture for that?
Keep guessing! I can't relate to what you are saying. I expect anyone posting on this board to be able to support their position with scripture. I hope you can do that.

Well, I would be saying too much if I claimed to know exactly how all of the antichrists in the world are working to make it happen, but many of them do seem to be getting people accustomed to the idea.

One of the most pernicious lies is that mankind could somehow bring about a heaven on earth, and this lie has been shaping minds in various ways for some time now.

Agreed.

Jhn 8:44 KJV - Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Eph 2:2 KJV - Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

2Co 11:14 KJV - And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

1Jo 1:5 KJV - This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

1Jo 4:1 KJV - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

You need a safe space from all the "red-bating" whatever that is.

Correction: I meant Red-baiting.
"Red-baiting, also reductio ad Stalinum (/ˈstɑːlɪnəm/), is an informal logical fallacy that intends to discredit the validity of an opponent's logical argument by accusing, denouncing, attacking, or persecuting an individual or group as communist, socialist, Marxist, Stalinist or anarchist, or sympathetic towards these ideologies." - Wikipedia.

As a Christian Communalist that is opposing The Three Demon's Messages, I don't expect to receive any justice in this world. Yet I'm not disappointed for God is with me. And I know that my reward will be in heaven.

And Bernie Sanders is a Jewish communist and Che Guevara was a Latino Communist and Stalin was an Eastern Orthodox communist and Jim Jones was a Peoples' Temple communist and AOC is a sex-symbol communist.

And the communists in the New Testament were Christians.

Acts 2:44-47
And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.


What of it?

Do you have a picture of AOC in your billfold?
 
The earliest NT Christians were voluntarily practicing this sharing and fellowship among themselves. It was strictly, totally voluntary and had nothing to do with the secular or even Jewish government at any level.
Forced conversions and a tax rate of 100% on everyone would be unjust. However, a four-fold penalty on thieves, assessed on the value of property they've stolen, is Biblical. Additionally, I see nothing unjust about progressive income tax, where the wealthy would be required to pay 90% tax on all income over $10,000,000 per year.
