The Contemporary Christian Praxis
Toward the Passionate, Primary and Exclusive Implementation of "Biblical Justice"
Independently From Christ's Mandate
To Recognize and Live in "Biblical Righteousness."
Reduces the Gospel to a
Sanctified Variant of Social Progressivism
As such...
It usually relegates the whole of Biblical Justice into a sphere of good works for the poor, the oppressed and the marginalized, but often ignores the ominous promise of God's Justice for those alienated from Him...
It pragmatically blemishes Holiness
It conflates Grace with Tolerance
It privileges Love as The Truth, but not rarely affirms Love for The Truth.
In like manner, it assumes that Love is universally and easily recognizable, but postulates Truth as relative and forever shrouded in unsearchable mystery.
Given enough time and opportunity, in the end, it will make them (terrifyingly) fallible dispensers of Justice, rather than humble servants of it.
