In the argument against “social justice” we now come to several of the most important Scripture passages.
Previously we looked at John Frame’s scriptural argument that government should offer protection from theft, not be an agent of redistribution.
I agree with this vision of justice. Scripture doesn’t support the modern idea of “social justice.”
This past week I interviewed Joseph Knowles. Joseph studied at Regent University School of Law. He is 32 and lives in Virginia. He and I found common ground in our understanding of Christianity and government.
The United States has been exceptional as the country founded upon a moral idea: individual rights.
The founding fathers recognized man’s rights as inalienable. Rights are discovered, not granted.
Like me, you’re probably wanting to know what’s happening with the Syrian refugees.
These are people. Families. If you’ve seen a picture of a three-year-old Syrian boy dead, you know that something absolutely must be done. We should be ashamed if our hearts were not big enough to help these human beings—these image-bearers of God Himself—in their time of distress.
So then, what are the facts? What’s the right thing to do? Is President Obama’s plan to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees moral?
