I left the UMC over this same kind of thing. They say that “orthopraxy is more important than orthodoxy”, “the meaning of scripture is revealed anew to each generation”, “God isn’t finished speaking yet”, “personal holiness cannot happen without social justice”, and “the Kingdom of God is realized when no one goes hungry or is marginalized” and it is ON EARTH because we have to make it happen. To them, Jesus is just Santa Claus, a fictional character used to teach a certain morality.
The replacement of Christ with the Marxist version of “justice” is their mission.
“personal holiness cannot happen without social justiceâ€
Precisely the message of the Moral Majority in the 70’s and 80’s. I always burn liberals with that one. Justice is receiving the proper punishment for your sins.
