Social Gospel
What is wrong with a social gospel?
Today, there are people called Social Justice Warriors. This is not just the fashion of the moment, but has been building for quite a while.
Th term "Social Justice Warrior" currently has a negative connotation. It is usually means someone who likes to aggressively engage in meritless arguments over some social issue to gain validation of their personal identity. They has no deep seated convictions about their social issue, other than they want people to take the side of whatever social group they identify themselves as belonging to. They really do not care about justice being done to the social group. The social group is just a means for them to gain some sort of personal benefit.
For example, a Social Justice Warrior might demand that the US government raise a tax on everyone who is not black, to give "reparation" money to African Americans for slavery, because they happen to be one eighth African American. It does not matter to them, that slavery was not legal in half of the states before the Civil War, and never legal in any state that joined the Union after the Civil War. It does not matter to them, that there were many black slave owners, particularly in the area of New Orleans. It does not matter to them, that more than half of the population of the United States came from people who imigrated to America after the Civil War. It does not matter to them, that many people of African descent immigrated to America after the Civil War and were never slaves in America. It does not matter to them, that they might be living on land stolen from Native Americans through broken treaties. What matters to them, is that they would personally benefit from such a tax.
In short, the term "Social Justice Warrior" has come to mean someone who exhibits rude behavior while arguing for "justice" for whatever social group they can identify with, in order to gain some personal benefit. They do not care about justice for any group that they do not identify with, like for example, Native Americans.
The term "Social Justice Warrior" did not take on this negative connotation until 2011, when someone used it as an insult on Twitter. This negative definition became more or less official when it was added to Urban Dictionary that same year. Prior to that, it had a positive definition of someone outside of an oppressed social group that was willing to fight for just treatment of that social group. It had this positive definition since at least 1991.
During those twenty years, instead of "Social Justice Warrior" being a catch all phrase for people who were rude jerks to get whatever they wanted in the name of social justice, there were more specialized phrases for rude jerks that were tied to a particular social group like "Feminazi".
The great irony of modern Social Justice Warriors is that they are opposed to the Christian Right. This is ironic because the term has its roots in those who preached a social gospel. Those who preached this social gospel were the predessors of the Christian Right.
It is like the irony of those who want to live like they are married in Sodom using the rainbow as their symbol, when the rainbow was originally created to remind people that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) destroyed everyone on Earth who lived like that with a flood, but would not do so again.
Then there is the oxymoronic term "Social Justice Warrior Christian". This amounts to a Christian who is opposed to the teachings of Christianity!
Stranger yet, are churches that seek to make their doctrine appealing to Social Justice Warriors. This amounts to churches willing to abandon the teachings of Christianity, in order to bring Social Justice Warriors into Christianity.
In order to attempt to make any sense of this, we have to start with understanding what a Social Gospel is.
A social gospel is a gospel that seeks to bring about social justice by using Christian principles to resolve social problems.
On the surface, this sounds like a good thing. After all, the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) are supposed to take action to bring about social justice to those in need.
Indeed, many worthwhile things have come from the preaching of a social gospel, including the civil rights movement that lead to eliminating institutional oppression of African Americans.
However, the preaching of a social gospel also lead to many other terrible things, like the Klu Klux Klan in America, Liberation Theology in Latin America, the Lord's Resistant Army in Africa, and a variety of "Christian" terrorist groups throughout Europe and Asia.
How could the preaching of a social gospel produce such radically different results?
This becomes clear when the social gospel is examined in detail.
At the core of the social gospel is a belief that the Children of Truth have been called to make the world fit for the rule of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).
This idea comes from a line of what is commonly called the Lord's Prayer, where it says for the will of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven (Matthew 6:10).
Like many other things, this is taken out of context, and has lead to all kinds of erroneous conclusions.
The belief that the will of the Father of Truth has to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven before His Kingdom will come, has lead to people to create all kinds of institutions and movements to bring about His will on Earth.
The first problem is, that they do not pay enough attention to what is written in the Book of Truth to even understand this simple prayer.
This entire prayer is about asking the Father of Truth do things for the sake of the Children of Truth.
The Children of Truth are supposed to ask the Father of Truth to help them with their needs (Matthew 6:6-8). So, this prayer starts with their acknowledgement of His ability to do so (Matthew 6:9).
They are to ask Him to give them the food that they need each day (Matthew 6:11). They are to ask Him for the same forgiveness they need as they give forgiveness to others (Matthew 6:12). They are to ask Him to take care for their need to avoid temptation, and their need to be delivered from trouble (Matthew 6:13).
In like manner, the Children of Truth are to ask the Father of Truth to cause His Kingdom to come, so their need for His Will will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven can be met (Matthew 6:10). The Kingdom that they need brought to Earth belongs to Him, so they must ask Him to bring it to Earth (Matthew 6:13).
The second problem is, that they have not been rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
Since they do not understand that the Man of Truth is first and foremost the Messiah of Israel, then they do not understand the Kingdom that they are to ask the Father of Truth to bring to Earth. They do not understand that the Good News that the Man of Truth preached, was the good news of this kingdom.
The third problem is, that they do not know what the will of the Father of Truth is.
Since they do not study what is written in the Book of Truth enough to even get the point of this simple prayer, many of them have wrong ideas about the will of the Father of Truth.
For example, some who preached a social gospel believed that interracial marriage was contrary to the will of the Father of Truth, so they formed organizations like the Klu Klux Klan to keep black people separated from white people. Others who preached a social gospel believed that the will of the Father of Truth was the opposite, so they formed the civil rights movement.
This confusion is not from the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 14:33).
The root of this confusion is the phrase, "What would Jesus Do?".
This phrase first appeared in a book called "The Imitation of Christ" written around 1420 AD. Charles Spurgeon, a noted Christian Zionist who supported the Impossible Dream, qouted the phrase from the book in a sermon in 1891 AD. The phrase became the center of a book written in 1896 AD by Charles Sheldon, a social gospel preacher, called "In His Steps". This book became one of the best selling books of all time, and the phrase was revitalized by his great-grandson Garret Sheldon, when he wrote an updated version in 1993 AD. This expression exploded in popularity among Christians, resulting in the very popular "WWJD" bracelets.
The answer supplied by in the book written by Sheldon is that the Man of Truth would take action to correct social injustice.
However, as noted by historian Gary Willis in his 2005 book, "What Jesus Meant", subtitled "What Would Jesus Really Do", this answer given by social gospel preachers does not match up to the history of the Man of Truth recorded in the Gospels.
People do not know the answer to WWJD, because they do not study what the Man of Truth did. Without study what the Man of Truth did, they can come to any answer they want to the question.
Since they have not studied what he did, they do not know that the Man of Truth came to demonstrate how to carry out the Law of Truth in the way that the Father of Truth always intended (Matthew 5:17-19).
They do not understand that the Law of Truth that gives the details of the will of the Father of Truth. They do not understand that the Unchanging Law did not change in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament). They do not understand the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) is the Spirit of the Law.
The fourth problem is, that they end up trying to do in human strength, what only the Father of Truth can do His strength.
The earliest proponents of a social gospel taught that the Great Commission was for the Children of Truth to bring about the kingdom of the Father of Truth in the Earth. This was the core of their message, but it does not agree with the message given in the Book of Truth.
The Book of Truth says, that world will only be made right by His Kingdom coming to Earth, so that the Man of Truth will cause His Will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven (Daniel 7:22-23). The Man of Truth will take over the kingdoms of this world, and His Will will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven (Revelation 11:15-18).
The fifth problem is, that a lack of study of the entire Book of Truth has made them suspectible to deception.
Since they either have not read the writings of the Prophets, or they do not believe them, then they cannot distinguish between the Doctrine of Truth and the Doctrine of Lies.
The sixth problem, is that many times those preaching this social gospel are not even part of the Children of Truth.
They have slithered into the congregations of the Children of Truth like a snake in the leaves. They seek to distract the Children of Truth with social issues, to move them further and further away from the will of the Father of Truth through a subtle influence.
Many of the earliest proponents of a social gospel like Walter Rauschenbusch, did not even believe that the Man of Truth died to pay for the sins of individual people. They were proponents of Liberal Theology, which denies that the stories and prophecies in the Book of Truth are historical and factual, but are meant to only be taken as allegories.
The seventh problem, is that the Children of Truth are so distracted by efforts to reform society through these efforts, that they do not see the hidden danger that it poses.
They become more concerned with achieving their social reform than they are in preaching the Good News. They dare not offend those who want to bring about the same social reform, but follow the Book of Mormon or belong to the False Church of Rome. They avoid mentioning the Man of Truth to not offend those decieved by Rabbinic Distort. They will make no mention of the Father of Truth, so that they do not offend those taken in by the Greatest Fairy Tale Ever Told.
Their efforts to reform society end up preventing the Children of Truth from carrying out the Great Commission. Their social gospel eventually ends up excluding the preaching of the Gospel as they align themselves with unbelievers to achieve their social reform.
A social gospel without the preaching of the Gospel is no gospel at all.
This is exactly what is wrong with a social gospel.
A social gospel makes the Gospel ineffective in the lives of those who preach it, because the cares of this life have left no rooom in thier lives for the Gospel (Mark 4:19). They have become so entangled in the affairs of this life, that they have left off teaching people how to carry out His Will on Earth (2 Timothy 2:2-4). They have become so Earthly minded that they are no Heavenly good.
The Children of Truth should flee from those who preach a social gospel, because while they might appear to be part of the Children of Truth, they deny the power of preaching the Gospel (2 Timothy 3:5).
They do not believe that the preaching of the Gospel will bring about the will of the Father of Truth on this Earth. They do not believe that the Man of Truth will bring His Kingdom to Earth after the Gospel is preached in all the world (Matthew 24:14).
The fact is, that seeking to bring about the will of the Father of Truth on Earth by the preaching of the Gospel, does appear to be a stupid plan on the surface (1 Corinthians 1:21).
However, the preaching of the Gospel, is the plan of the Father of Truth to bring about His will on Earth, and it only seems like a stupid plan to those who do not believe the Book of Truth (1 Corinthians 1:18). His plan to bring about His Will on Earth is incomprehensible to those who rely on their own human effort to do so (1 Corinthians 1:19-20). They can never understand the secret plan that is hidden in the Book of Truth.
They do not believe, that not one person is good on their own (Psalm 14:2-3). They do not believe that the root of all social ills is, that every human being is born with a heart that is wicked and decietful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9). They do not believe, that every person does evil to other people, because their heart is evil (Matthew 12:34-35). They do not believe, that a society is sick and twisted, because the individuals who make up the society have sick and twisted hearts.
They do not believe, that each individual MUST repent of their own sin to enter into His Kingdom (Matthew 4:17). They do not beleive, that each individual MUST believe the Gospel to enter into His Kingdom (Mark 1:14-15). They do not believe, that each individual MUST be born again to enter into His Kingdom (John 3:3-7). They do not believe, that total surrender is required to enter His Kingdom.
They do not believe, that the Spirit of Truth puts a new heart in each individual that wants do His Will, when they believe Gospel (Ezekiel 36:26). They do not believe, that individuals become a new creation, when they believe the Gospel (2 Corinthians 5:17). They do not believe, that the Father of Truth gives individuals both the desire and the abiltiy to do His Will, when they believe the Gospel (Philippians 2:13). They do not believe, that His Laws are written on the hearts of individuals, when they believe the Gospel (Hebrews 10:15-17). They do not beleive, that individuals are given a time to start over, when they believe the Gospel.
They do not believe, that they are commanded by the Man of Truth to preach the Gospel (Mark 16:15-16). They do not believe, that the Gospel has the power to change the individuals that make up a society (Romans 1:16). They do not believe, that the indivuals that make up a society cannot change, unless someone preaches the Gospel to them (Romans 10:13-15). They do not believe, that society will only change, when the individuals hear the Gospel and take the deal.
If they believed the Book of Truth, then they would never be willing to stop preaching the Gospel in order to bring about social reform. What is worse, it is only the preaching of the Gospel that can bring about the social reforms that are needed, so that more of His Will can be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
It is a very demonstrable fact of history, that when the Gospel is brought into a society, the society begins to reform as more and more individuals believe the Gospel. Just like the societies of the New World were reformed from the preaching of the Gospel, that began after the day when worlds collided, so also did the societies of the Romans, Europeans, and every other society has been reformed by the preaching of the Gospel. When the individuals that make up a society stop being unjust, then the society stops being unjust.
Abandoning the preaching of the Gospel makes as much sense as Neo-Paganism. If individuals stop being transformed by the preaching of the Gospel generation after generation, then their society will return to its original wicked state.
In fact, abandoning the preaching of the Gospel is the worst possible crime against society, for it is the most important thing. Though someone might bring about some sort of short term reform that makes the lives of others better, this improvement is only temporary, while their torment in the Chamber of Horrors is eternal. Those who do not warn people to turn from their sin and come into the House of Truth, hate those people with the worst kind of hatred.
When you give someone the opportunity to come into the House of Truth, then you have given them everything. It is all that really matters.
The will of the Father of Truth being done on Earth as it is in Heaven, begins with people hearing the preaching of the Gospel and coming into the House of Truth.
Those who make the Man of Truth their king on Earth now, because they believe the message of the Gospel that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead, come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:8-10). When people come into the House of Truth, then they then live like the Man of Truth in this world (1 John 4:14-17). Those who come into the House of Truth will act justly towards other people, and cause His Will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven (1 John 4:18-21).
Come into the House of Truth!

Those who make the Man of Truth their king on Earth now, because they believe the message of the Gospel that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead, come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:8-10). When people come into the House of Truth, then they then live like the Man of Truth in this world (1 John 4:14-17). Those who come into the House of Truth will act justly towards other people, and cause His Will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven (1 John 4:18-21).
Come into the House of Truth!
