Reaching tentacles of the Social Justice movement
 

The culture is moving us to enforce social justice. How much do conservative Christians know about the various forms of the movement?

Glenn Beck exposes it.

Of course the liberals on this site despise Glenn Beck because he exposes a lot of pretention.

Social and economic justice are not charity.

Rick Warren says we need to promote social justice to be more relevant. His seeker friendly model uses social justice to attract audience.

Social justice is behiind socialized medicine. Social justice thinking is behind the calling out people that oppose Mosques certain places and gay marriage as people being bigots or racist.

The scripture has great coverage of charity.

Who is behind this movement? How does it fit into the endtimes?

Social justice is a code word which means take from those who have worked hard and give it to those who are unwilling to work hard.

We need to be careful not to paint with a broad brush here. Remember, social justice movements brought us women's rights to work and vote, vanquished child labor, brought us safety standards in the work place, brought us liveable wages, and most importantly... the weekend. lol

Not true. It was legislation .

Re: Reaching tentacles of the Social Justice movem
 

Need to get your stories straight. Unions claim credit for the same list. Unions are not the social justice movement at all.
The unions and the social justice folks have the same enemies?

While I disagree with movements that are Christian-based but solely driven by social justice, there's no denying the reality of adequate theology behind "defending the poor, disenfranchised, widows, orphans, powerless," etc. Anyone who says otherwise needs to do some reading.

If Glen Beck is noticing many of his opponents use social justice to combat some of the Republican/Conservative ideas, then he needn't take on those who believe in social justice, stick with taking on their ideas and explain why they won't work. Beck telling people to run from churches that believe in being involved in social justice is more sickening to me. I know he wouldn't like the someone putting a theological metric to his LDS faith.

Coadie, you told Aquila it was legislation. That's silly. Legislation doesn't create itself, draft itself, get enough public support to be important all on it's own.

Re: Reaching tentacles of the Social Justice movem
 

You mentioned charity. That is different than social justice.

By the way, I understand legislation. I have also read the constitution. We are endowed by the Creator the right to life liberty and pursuit of happiness.

It doesn't say right to an equal share of prosperity.
Actually Mormoms are very capitalistic. They are distinctly against socialism.

Modern Mormons might be, but their founders certainly weren't. lol

Re: Reaching tentacles of the Social Justice movem
 

I agree.

Coadie... I'm not big on Unions... but I am in one and I know the history of labor laws. If not for those fighting for social justice in this area you're kids would still be working in sweat shops. So get real.
