Sumpreme Court Declares U.S. to be Like Sodom & Gomorrah

[Tarheel Baptist]

Thanks for the face palm...I needed a double!

Do you join the fair minded people in our culture....the Paul's in my sig line.....who bemoan the fact that we aren't more like the old USSR or modern day Cuba....where everyone shares everything....but the only thing left to share is poverty?

Cheer up....we're headed in that direction.....add a little socialism a.k.a. social justice to a little gay rights a.k.a. Acceptance of Sodomy and Paradise is just around the corner......

I know this is a little off topic but.....

Why is the conduct Scripture teaches is Christian duty throughout Scripture being called "social justice" and painted as evil?  I'm just wondering.

"Social Justice" has a lot of meanings.

The Marxist meaning:

Justice is when you are punished for stealing money.
Social Justice is when you are punished for earning money.

Succinct and true!

I do not see any claim by Jews that their having to leave the corners of their fields, allow people to glean their fields, or leave a forgotten sheave in the field for the poor classed as "Punishment for earning money".

I do not see any claim by the Jews that redeeming their kinsman who got themselves in debt was "Punishment for earning money".

I do not see anyone claiming that our being forgiven because of Jesus' death in our place is "Punishment for doing right".

So why is grace for us that cost Jesus His life okay but grace for others that cost us money sinful?

Now that you have a proper context let me repeat the question:  Why is the conduct Scripture teaches is Christian duty throughout Scripture being called "social justice" and painted as evil?  I'm just wondering.

It's not my problem that you don't know apples from oranges.
Social justice as defined by liberalism is socialism.
There is a huge difference in caring for the poor and underprivileged and modern day social justice....so called by those who don't know apples from oranges.

i;ll grant you that the government makes mess of what you call social justice.....and a lot of people getting help from the government at tax payers expense are scammers who don;t deserve it..........    but if the church had done it;s job where the poor and needy are concerned ... and done it right.... the government might have never felt the need to step in in the first place....... ..  instead.....  today...  you have a generation of christians....... some who are even proud to admit it right here on this forum....  who will refuse to help homeless and needy people... . especially those they see on the street.... for fear they might accidentally give money to a scammer by mistake..... .. that;s the exact opposite of what a christians attitude towards the poor and those who beg for help should be......  it should be better to risk helping 10 scammers just to know at least one truly needy person got the help they need...... . but instead those same christians defer to the very same government they criticize and say if those truly needy people really need help they can go there to find it........  after all.....  they have already paid their taxes to them... right?.... ....... .. they condemn the machine..... but then continue to do the very thing that keeps it running........

i don;t know what any of that has to do with apples and oranges.......  but in the days before modern machinery....  weren;t they both harvested pretty much the same way?.........

I would agree with some of what you say, but that still doesn't change the fact that 'social justice' in the PC term for re-distribution of wealth with the government in charge of the distribution AND the assets.

Our church has operated a food distribution center for years...we help feed over 350 families per month. We also help operate the local homeless shelter by providing money and volunteers on a weekly basis. We also sponsor, with the Goodwill across the street from us, a job fair. We have been involved with helping the poor, homeless and needy that one of our Pastors was offered a position on the local social service board.

I believe the church should be involved...many aren't involved, but socialism is not the answer.
