that’s their journey

'Journey' is one of those red flag words. When I hear 'justice', I know they mean Marxism. When I hear 'journey', I know they mean affirmation of sin.

It can be but is not necessarily. It depends on the context and the spirit with which it is said. I use it frequently to describe how sinners come finally to the realization that Jesus is the Christ.

No, ‘social justice’ is a euphemism for Marxism. What is more accurate to what you are likely saying is that in the context of ‘Christian perversion’ the word ‘justice’ is a short form of ‘social justice’.

> “When I hear ‘journey’, I know they mean affirmation of sin.”

If “they” refers to the NYC ‘Mega Church’ pastor Lentz, then you are correct. But in general, the word ‘journey’ in the context of a sinner seeking answers in a church refers to their prior experience. It is hoped that the Church will encourage people to grow closer to God as they continue their ‘journey’ forward. Affirmation of sin is not connoted by the word but by how the word is used.
