The Bible does NOT teach Social Justice

There are liberal/progressive Christians that claim “social justice” is part of the gospel. We are not commissioned to transform society and make sure everything is equal. We are called to rehabilitate sinners by the power of God, not government. The gospel is the cure for sin and it has absolutely nothing to do with “social justice.”

With all this talk about justice, many have forgotten about not coveting and being content with what they have. Instead, strife is formed by wanting more, telling people they deserve what others have without working for it and the government should be allowed to obtain it for them. One of the 10 commandments to Moses is thou shall not covet, another is you shall not steal.

The Bible is pretty clear about coveting what others have and being content with what you have. How does the concept of Social Justice fit into that?
