Unbiblical trends in the church tend to
snowball, producing even worse trends; each
heretical book or teaching that comes along
seems to lead to more serious deceptions. The
Bible warns in 2 Timothy 3:13 that in the last
days, 'evil men and seducers [imposters] shall
wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being
deceived,' suggesting a progressive pattern of
deception that requires our vigilance. Jim
Wallis' foundation is Leftist Communism! His
views were completely in line with the views of
hard line Soviets.
Wallis' Sojourners
Magazine never criticizes a Marxist state. The
U.S. and the West are the only violators of
human rights to them because they are
capitalist. Marxists, by Sojourners own
definition, cannot violate human rights.
Sojourners mission is to articulate the
biblical call to social justice, inspiring hope
and building a movement to transform
individuals, communities, the church and the
world.
This is also the definition for
'social-ism': a government-controlled economy
and the redistribution of wealth, i.e.,
Communism. the social gospel places all the
emphasis for how to live an 'authentic'
Christianity on good works, as in meeting the
needs of the poor and 'marginalized.' It
replaces the primary message of salvation
through grace by faith in Jesus Christ with
fixing society as the primary communication of
truth and redemption.
Wallis' social
justice turns all the political hot-button
issues of the day into moral issues with a
divine, biblical mandate. Everything from the
economy, jobs, and education, to healthcare,
global warming, race issues and immigrationnow
carries with it the moral imperative of
fairness, equity, and validity.
In other
words, 'Communism by another name'!
