Obama Advisor: Is Beck man enough to converse with me about Social Justice?

another right wing nut job that is probably living off of “Social Justice”, like medicare, and Social Security. And doesn't want his pay cut.
Listen to they guy. Just a conversation on the phone and it sounds like his fat ass is going to have an asthma attack.

I'm a Christian, a Bible thomping, Bible reading Christian, and it is FACTUAL that Glenn got it RIGHT. The term Social Justice has been demonized to mean governmental controll. Do these people consider that when God mentions homosexuality in the Bible supposedly only 9 times, that He states “Whoe”, When God mentions it, it is with such force in one word that it deams DAMNATION, whereas social justice, as the commentator, is said from the heart which we give to God to do His work, which is a desire to help the poor, hungry, naked, etc.

Keep up the good work Mr. RightScoop, you are in our prayers, and hopefully the FOXNEWS issue will be resolved in the coming days.
PS….could you post an address that we could write to FOX asking for the link to your website be replaced?
Aloha and God bless

You called him a right wing nut job. He's a lefty dude. That's why I thought you were attacking me. He's a big government type just like his boss Obama and apparently doesn't mind socialism.

Honestly, I think we should get rid of lefty/right and talk big govt vs small govt. That seems to work pretty well on our country

I'd love to see Beck debate some of the big-government social justice religious types. He could quickly turn the table on them and point out how they are perverting God's word so that they can be popular or rich or powerful, rather than humiliating themselves before God like Christ asks us to.

This is so stupid. But, many liberal Christians have fallen into this trap. One of my liberal Christians friends believes in 'social justice' (although she doesn't know the labels) because she believes we need to help the poor. I explained when the government gets involved, the love FROM Christians is lost completely. Therefore, the love cannot be felt by these individuals getting a check from the government and their souls will not be saved. Showing Christian love (charity) is beyond helping their physical needs, but goes to the root of their problem – their spiritual needs. So, without one on one help, you can give them all the money you want, their true need of salvation is never met. So, 'social justice' would actually be the opposite of what God would want because it puts a stumblingblock between those in need an God's salvation.

I think social justice is Satan's design for helping the poor which keeps salvation and God far removed from them. Many times God allows needs in someone's life intentionally to draw them to him. If you can go to some state office and apply for a check, you don't need God. Those on the left who are unbelievers and try to use the Bible as a tool to prove social justice ARE spiritually blind. They cannot see the light of the gospel so it is the only conclusion they can come to without the Lord.

Matthew,

No one is arguing that the government can't/shouldn't help the poor. This isn't about helping those who need help. This is about wealth redistribution, and yes there are churches who believe America is an imperialistic nation and that the government should take from the wealthy and give it to the poor.

So there is no intellectual dishonesty here with Beck. You are misunderstanding what he has said. In fact, he said on March 2nd that if your church does in fact have Social or Economic Justice on their website or if they believe in that, then ask them what they mean by it before taking action.

I think the MSM is creating alot of mis/disinformation about this because they don't like Beck. I will look at my archive and get his original segment on it and you can judge for yourself. It's important to keep things in context, and that's exactly what the MSM are not doing.

I think that Jim Wallis' breathless radio remarks 'taking on' Glenn Beck are childish and stupid. He is not asking people to ask questions, he is questioning whether Beck is 'man enough.' The phrase 'social justice' used by liberals does not simply mean 'feed the poor', which we in the USA do a very good job with. The phrase morphs into an victim/oppressor model that aims explicitly to undermine individual freedom. Our Savior did not advocate this. Christ's message was that of personal salvation, grace, and redemption.

Christ's love does not simply translate into centralized 'wealth redistribution' by crushing liberty and respect for the individual. Advocates of social-justice-through-increasing- central-government-displacement-of-private-activity are not taking their cues from the Bible that I read every day.

The Sojourners' site is interesting. Keep abortion legal and outlaw capital punshment are the first two topics in the “About Us” section Matthew linked. That about sums up 'social justice': whatever progressive liberals want through governmental actions.

PRETRIB RAPTURE POLITICS

Many are still unaware of the eccentric, 180-year-old British theory underlying the politics of American evangelicals and Christian Zionists.
Journalist and historian Dave MacPherson has spent more than 40 years focusing on the origin and spread of what is known as the apocalyptic “pretribulation rapture” – the inspiration behind Hal Lindsey's bestsellers of the 1970s and Tim LaHaye's today.
Although promoters of this endtime evacuation from earth constantly repeat their slogan that “it's imminent and always has been” (which critics view more as a sales pitch than a scriptural statement), it was unknown in all official theology and organized religion before 1830.
And MacPherson's research also reveals how hostile the pretrib rapture view has been to other faiths:
It is anti-Islam. TV preacher John Hagee has been advocating “a pre-emptive military strike against Iran.” (Google “Roots of Warlike Christian Zionism.”)
It is anti-Jewish. MacPherson's book “The Rapture Plot” (see Armageddon Books etc.) exposes hypocritical anti-Jewishness in even the theory's foundation.
It is anti-Catholic. Lindsey and C. I. Scofield are two of many leaders who claim that the final Antichrist will be a Roman Catholic. (Google “Pretrib Hypocrisy.”)
It is anti-Protestant. For this reason no major Protestant denomination has ever adopted this escapist view.
It even has some anti-evangelical aspects. The first publication promoting this novel endtime view spoke degradingly of “the name by which the mixed multitude of modern Moabites love to be distinguished, – the Evangelical World.” (MacPherson's “Plot,” p. 85)
Despite the above, MacPherson proves that the “glue” that holds constantly in-fighting evangelicals together long enough to be victorious voting blocs in elections is the same “fly away” view. He notes that Jerry Falwell, when giving political speeches just before an election, would unfailingly state: “We believe in the pretribulational rapture!”
In addition to “The Rapture Plot,” MacPherson's many internet articles include “Famous Rapture Watchers,” “Pretrib Rapture Diehards,” “Edward Irving is Unnerving,” “America's Pretrib Rapture Traffickers,” “Thomas Ice (Bloopers),” “Pretrib Rapture Secrecy” and “Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty” (massive plagiarism, phony doctorates, changing of early “rapture” documents in order to falsely credit John Darby with this view, etc.!).
Because of his devastating discoveries, MacPherson is now No. 1 on the “hate” list of pretrib rapture leaders!
There's no question that the leading promoters of this bizarre 19th century end-of-the-world doctrine are solidly pro-Israel and necessarily anti-Palestinian. In light of recently uncovered facts about this fringe-British-invented belief which has always been riddled with dishonesty, many are wondering why it should ever have any influence on Middle East affairs.
This Johnny-come-lately view raises millions of dollars for political agendas. Only when scholars of all faiths begin to look deeply at it and widely air its “dirty linen” will it cease to be a power. It is the one theological view no one needs!
With apologies to Winston Churchill – never has so much deception been foisted on so many by so few!
