Abstract
- Social justice has filled the globe and its agenda and push on humanity have become evident. This ‘justice’ does not portray the justice of the Bible yet many Christians have fallen prey to this worldly justice, believing it to equate to biblical justice and therefore it is necessary to submit to its tenets. As a result, a modified gospel to accommodate the social justice agenda has been created. Unfortunately, this ‘justice’ presented as the modern redeemer of the inequalities of humanity is flawed and nothing more than a creation of the reprobate mind of sinful mankind that can never attain harmony and equality set out as its goals. This article points out that its agenda has infiltrated the church and led to some movements to redefine and reinterpret central biblical doctrine to accommodate the tenets of social justice. It further points out that the church has the calling to expose and oppose the misleading meaning that is approved by social justice and to continue to preach the undiluted gospel of Jesus Christ the only justifier.
