“They would rather run food banks or give away backpacks then preach the gospel.”

GOD said that all our good deeds were like filthy rags to him.

Isaiah 64:6 (King James Version)

6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Jesus was ticked off and turned tables over people being cheated at the temple gates.

Bigger cheating. Bigger tables. Our turn to flip them. I believe this is what he would want.

No, Mr. Wallis. Christians ought to stand up to you, to your lies, to your distortions, to your deceptions in the name of Jesus. How dare you substitute Marxism for the Word of God.

While I vehemently disagree with the theological errors and heresies of Mormonism as espoused by Glenn Beck, His message to America is far and away less damaging than yours, Mr. Wallis!

....all have something in common with progressive Christian

Well, actually, Restornu...Let's compare Jeremiah Wright's UCC denomination about the need to have one female as an essentiality within marriage to what a certain "prophet" was saying in 1878, shall we?

July, 2005 New York Times: The United Church of Christ became the first mainline Christian denomination to support same-sex marriage officially when its general synod passed a resolution on Monday affirming "equal marriage rights for couples regardless of gender." http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/05/national/05church.html

UCC conclusion: One woman doesn't necessarily cut it for a marriage (pretty progressive)

From the Joseph F. Smith 1878 message:

Some people have supposed that the doctrine of plural marriage was a sort of superfluity, or non-essential to the salvation or exaltation of mankind. In other words, some of the Saints have said, and believe, that a man with one wife, sealed to him by the authority of the Priesthood for time and eternity, will receive an exaltation as great and glorious, if he is faithful, as he possibly could with more than one. I WANT HERE TO ENTER MY SOLEMN PROTEST AGAINST THIS IDEA, FOR I KNOW IT IS FALSE. There is no blessing [blessing] promised except upon conditions, and NO BLESSING CAN BE OBTAINED BY MANKIND EXCEPT BY FAITHFUL COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS, OR LAW, upon which the same is promised. The marriage of one woman to a man for time and eternity by the sealing power, according to the law of God, is a fulfillment of the celestial law of marriage IN PART-and is good so far as it goes-and so far as a man abides these conditions of the law, he will receive his reward therefore [therefore], and this reward, or blessing, he could not obtain on any other grounds or conditions. But this is only the beginning of the law, not the whole of it. Therefore, whoever has imagined that he could obtain the fullness of the blessings pertaining to this celestial law, by complying with only a portion of its conditions, has deceived himself. He cannot do it

Lds “prophet” Smith made it quite clear that Mormons who duck polygamy are...
...out of compliance with the full measure of the law...
...therefore ineligible to obtain the fullness of the blessings pertaining to this celestial law...
...and he "protests the idea" that it is considered by some "saints" to a "non-essential to the salvation or exaltation of mankind."

Lds conclusion: One woman doesn't necessarily cut it for a marriage (even more progressive for its context considering how Victorian things were).

There is a difference between a political ideology and biblical theology. Social justice is a euphemism for Communism. I am all for charity, but the redistribution of wealth by the government is not charity. It is extortion. I can find no mandates in the Scriptures for a Robin Hood type government. Social justice means that everyone must have equality in wealth and goods. It is not social justice for some people to have more than others. The only way for this to occur is for the government to take ownership of all goods and distribution. This is what is meant by social justice.

Christians across the theological and political spectrum believe that social justice is central to the teachings of Jesus and at the heart of biblical faith

Well, certainly not where I come from. The heart of Bibical faith would be Christ's death on the cross to attone for our sins. Those who believe escape God's wrath that all humans deserve. God's Son took that wrath upon Himself, in our place, for redemption of many. Jesus taught us how to escape from (God's) justice, by grace through faith.

Don't remember where in the O.T. I read it, maybe proverbs or psalms, but it says the rich man if his cause is just should be given justice against against the poor man before the judge...Poor is not a virtue, nor is wealth a vice..

This article is just ridiculous.

Agreed. When Jesus said, "Love thy neighbor as thy self," he was telling Christians to help those in need. He was talking to Christians. He was not talking to politicians. Jesus did not say, "Form a governing body, tax those that work and give to the poor."

Social justice? I am fairly certain Jesus implied there is no true justice in the world.

Nice display...

Well. How about, Restornu?

Your dead "prophet" said...
...some of the Saints have said, and believe, that a man with ONE WIFE, sealed to him by the authority of the Priesthood for time and eternity, will receive an exaltation as great and glorious, if he is faithful, as he possibly could with more than one.
[So far, Restornu, this sounds like it represents you...]
Smith, cont'd: I WANT HERE TO ENTER MY SOLEMN PROTEST AGAINST THIS IDEA, FOR I KNOW IT IS FALSE.
[Oh. I guess any contemporary Mormons that might be tempted to settle for one wife would rile this Lds "prophet" right out of his protesteth grave, eh?]
Smith cont'd: There is NO blessing [blessing] promised except upon...
Except upon what, Restornu?
Smith cont'd: ...conditions, and NO BLESSING CAN BE OBTAINED BY MANKIND EXCEPT BY FAITHFUL COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS, OR LAW, upon which the same is promised.

And, as Smith went on to say, if your hubby was only to married to you, and none other, well, he only fulfilled the Mormon god's "celestial law of marriage IN PART"-but twas "only the beginning of the law, not the whole of it.

"Therefore," concluded Smith in this message, "whoever has imagined that he could obtain the fullness of the blessings pertaining to this celestial law, by complying with only a portion of its conditions, has deceived himself. He cannot do it."

So, Restornu, do ye need to go marry another one-man wife to help him "complete" the progressive Mormon god's law? (You don't want to make a Mormon "prophet" otherwise look bad, do you?)

The New Testament also has parables about three men given equal talents. One does literally nothing. He gets his just reward (punishment). One makes only a meager return on the investment and likewise suffers punishment. But a third invests wisely and works hard (i.e. strives to be rich) and for that vigilence, diligence and lack of laziness (the antithesis of socialism, entitlement and Christian liberation theology) THAT recipient of the original "talents" is rewarded handsomely and given a place of honor.

Libs can never explain this element of Basic Christianity away.

Jesus told us to take care of the poor and the widows from the charity of our HEART!!! He did NOT tell the people of his time to petition the Roman Govt to redistribute the wealth. Since ALL scripture is God breathed, Jesus also said through his servant Paul, (2Thes 3:10) “you don't work, you don't eat!”

This social justice movement “feels” good but it replaces the most important thing anyone must hear and respond to, the GOSPEL!
