Social Justice in the Bible and Has the Left Perverted It?

“Soujourners founder Jim Wallis has issued a public challenge to Glenn Beck”

Is this guy for real? There is no “Social Justice” in the Bible. When Jesus spoke of giving away all of your possessions and following him he was not talking about the redistribution of wealth. The point was, how can you follow Jesus and not worry about your belongings? The REAL story here was you had to lose yourself and give up all of your worldly possessions if you wanted to follow God.

When I leave my home I often wonder, “Did I lock the doors, turn off the coffee pot, is the gate locked so no one can take my lawn mower?” I am worried about my possessions. Now conversely, I sell my house it is empty of all my belongings. My possessions are secure in the moving van on the way to my next destination. I am not worried about my home any longer. I am not worried about losing anything, and can easily concentrate on the road ahead.

Mr. Wallis speaks of not being political at all, but talks of economic justice. “Washington is wired to block social change, and that change comes from social movements,” which he admitted in being involved with. If you listen to his words you will notice many of the left’s talking points. This is nothing more than hiding behind the “Cloth” to push a radical agenda. Remember the Mom’s and how Glenn said that it is hard for the left to attack them. It looks like they are taking a page from Glenn’s play book and releasing an Evangelical after him. Does Glenn dare defend himself against this “Man of the Cloth?” YES he should! Speak the truth and with boldness, ferret out the people who attempt to pervert our Country regardless of who they are.

Mr. Wallis spoke of taking care of the poor quoting Jesus with “Where were you when I was in need.” Was Jesus talking about the redistribution of wealth? No, He was talking of Christians taking care of the less fortunate in the flock? This is discussed at great length in the Bible and I am surprised at how he could miss this simple Fact.

This philosophy is not speaking of “Taking” from one and giving to the other. It is Christians freely giving out of love and compassion. If everyone would freely give to those in need this would truly be a Great Nation. Keep in mind there is a difference between “Gracefully Giving” and “Forcefully Taking.” One is individuals giving what is theirs based on Faith and the other is individuals giving what is NOT theirs in the guise of faith. Think back to the Great Depression when one neighbor was helping the other. People were not giving money to one another, but bartering with what they had. Farmers would give goods for gasoline, women would make blankets for staples, neighbor was helping neighbor survive. Did we need the Government to step in and decide on who gets what? Taking from some and redistributing to the people that they decided were in need? Listening to my Grandmother her community was able to make it through the depression by helping each other. Not by government intervention.

Mr. Wallis quoting his wife said, “There is no God bless America in the Bible.” Well Sir, after searching I could not find the phrase “Social Justice” either.

AND HOW DARE YOU COMPARE JESUS TO MAO OR CHE GUEVARA!!!

God gave us free will. This means we are free to help or not. Those who help will be rewarded and those who choose not too will also receive their “reward”. Does this mean that those who believe in faithfully giving to the poor should be Biblically compelled to force others to give against their free will?

NO, The greatest gift of God is that we are able to choose our own path.

P.S. Isn’t it strange that the government has taken up “Educational Reform” now? Wonder if that is a direct poke at Glenn himself.
