“Social Justice definition:
Social Justice also known as economic justice, is a term describing the redistribution of wealth for the common good of all.
However, this comes at the expense of wage earners and liberty by demanding a society to conform. Those who work and have must give to those who don’t work and don’t have.
This is the fundamental basis of Marxism and championed by liberal progressives. Everyone shall have equal advantages and everyone will have equal disadvantages. In reality it creates two classes, those with power and everyone else.”
“Redistribution of wealth” is a euphemism for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. However noble the intent, it is still stealing and against the law of God.
God’s law commands giving with a willing spirit. Without that, don’t give. Certainly don’t take.
Wallis is a sneaking liar—he keeps avoiding the implicit “charity by force” underpinnings of the “social justice” Beck talked about.
“God helps those who help themselves,” Benjamin Franklin
Unfortunately, the term “Social Justice” is exactly what the liberals deem it means. Social Justice, imo, has nothing to do with scripture. It is a catchy [phrase, which liberals love. At any rate, the term certainly does not sit well with me.
Wallis is just feeling the heat.
This CHRISTIAN, true CHRISTIAN, loves Glenn and all he does for this country.
True charity is voluntary, not compulsory. Period.
Too often those who talk about ‘social justice’ are simply in the game for themselves and their own glory. Calling on God to bring the Age of Aquarius and then butt out, so to speak.

Justice implies some kind of law, and if by cracky there isn’t such a law the moonbats will make one.
What would Wallis know about what Christians do?
From Wiki.
The Reverend Jim Wallis (b. June 4, 1948, Detroit, Michigan) is an evangelical Christian writer and political activist, best known as the founder and editor of Sojourners magazine, and of the Washington, D.C.-based Christian community of the same name.
Wallis actively eschews political labels, but his advocacy tends to focus on issues of peace and social justice, earning him his primary support from the religious left. Wallis is also known for his opposition to the religious right’s fiscal and foreign policies.[1]
Speaking to a conference of clergy from the Anglican Diocese of Liverpool (The Hayes Conference Centre, Swanwick, Derbyshire, UK, 23 June 2009) Wallis said, “The press don’t get it - they say, ‘Have you replaced the religious right with the religious left?’” Rather, he says that his Christian commitment does not allow him to align with any political wing - on some issues, his views would be counted as coming from the left, on others, from the right. “Don’t go left, don’t go right: go deeper.”
HOORAY Glenn Beck! Glenn Beck is OUTSTANDING!
(Wallis is a POS collectivist)
I'm not Glenn Beck's biggest fan, but on this count, he's right. Both Nazism and Communism have DEEP roots in "social justice", as social justice was the common theme used to sell this ideological philosophies to the masses. In Nazism, the Reich portrayed the class envy many of Germany's non-Jewish citizens felt about what they perceived to be the unjust distribution of wealth and power enjoyed by the country's Jews.
In 1918 Russia, again class-warfare (which is robustly practiced by those who preach "social justice), was again employed by the Bolsheviks to rouse the masses to fight the oppression of the privileged few.
In both 1932/33 Germany, and 1918 Russia, it was a "worker's uprising" spawned by the populist rage and a thirst for perceived "social justice" that brought both totalitarian regimes to power.
Wallis pretends this isn't the case, which makes anyone ask - What's he really up to?
Wallis is just trying to use the typical Alinsky tactic of isolating Beck.
Charity is not forced.
IIRC, neither Biden nor Sor0bama countribute to charity, nor do they own stock.
And charity is not largesse.
What we have here is noblesse oblige with the Deemocrat programs.
When you are in the presence of someone practicing Christian charity, it is obvious.
God wants fruit and wheat. Not stubble and tares.
"Social Justice," as used politically, is code for Communism. To find out how that works go here:
It's all in the way you name things...
"In Nazism, the Reich parleyed the class envy many ..."
