Perhaps nothing differentiates “modern” and traditional Christianity more than the role of men and women. Those promoting a recent social justice version discard parts of the Bible not fitting their position, frequently by arguing those parts have historical meaning only. Does that make sense? Can we pick and choose what is God’s Word and what isn’t? If so, how can that be done, and who gets to make the rules (since it isn’t God)?

Reverend Jim Wallis’ article “How Christian is Tea Party Libertarianism” contains several errors. Our previous article examined Mr. Wallis’ error understanding both the Tea Party and Libertarianism. In this article, we’ll examine his other major error—using Romans 13 to support his brand of government, and its forced use of “social justice” (to use his term).

For some reason, atheists aren’t happy unless they convert religious people to their dogma. Why? I don’t know, but they frequently display intolerance, expressing a deep conviction to win converts to the religion of atheism.

Are you confident of where your pastor stands? They can speak all the right words and still reject the major beliefs of Christianity - leaving nothing more than church potlucks and philosophy.
