Why Reformed Christians Are Vulnerable To Social Justice

[5 point Gillinist]

When you get your reformed theology from memes, t-shirts, and relevant pastors who speak like the world to win the world, rather than from scripture and grounded teachers (reformed or not), then all sorts of unscriptural things will follow.

As a NAMB church planter I can tell you it isn't.

NAMB?

Why Reformed Christians Are Vulnerable To Social Justice?

Because we have a rich history of churches ignoring, and often contributing to, social injustice.

Ignoring it, you mean like the apostles ignored it?

 

[George Antonios]

It is gone Rev. You just fail to see it. It died when it adopted CRT and was then too cowardly to condemn it by name.
Just go to lifeway and look at who writes most of the SS curriculum.

The SBC's death began when J. Frank Norris walked out in the early 20th century.

Ignoring it, you mean like the apostles ignored it?

No. Because the Apostles did not ignore it (assuming you consider Paul to be an Apostle). More importantly, Christ did not ignore it.

As evidenced by the multiple verses you've referenced...

I shouldn't have to reference any passages.

Where I think we differ is in how we are defining so I'll justice. The reason I say this is you seem to be versed in Scripture. If you missed that we are to treat people with love, that as believers we are equal, that we are to provide for those in need....well....I'm not going there because I don't think you missed it.

I think you are defining social injustice along the lines of today's politics.

So I think we actually agree in principle, albeit not necessarily in definition.
