There is nothing wrong with the Social Gospel. What is wrong with wanting to help the poor, heal the sick, stop war! There is not a damn thing wrong with that.

What is wrong is allowing it to trump morals. Now I know some of you live in areas where the Liberation Theology is more popular. I have not lived in an area where it trumped moral issued, for instance, pro-life.

The problem here is that everyone is trying to simplify a vast deposit of faith, cultures, history, persons and boil it all down to a simple little set of boxes to check off.

It just does not work that way, it never has and it never will. read the history of the freaking world. Jesus Christ himself stood in front of men who refused to believe a word he said. Think about it!
