The Social Justice Gospel Revisited - Revelation 14:6-7

Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—  saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” - Revelation 14:6-7

    Is there any mention of a specific message to people of color, the poor, the sick, or any other specific worldly demographic? Of course not! Here’s the point: The moment any minister or anyone for that matter molds, dissects or otherwise presents the gospel in such a way that appeals to anyone but sinners, they have violated both the veracity and the holiness of God’s revealed word!
    The gospel is the word of God presented to all men without respect to their race, ethnicity, or status in life to present them with the “good news” of Christ’s salvific offering. This is the only gospel contained in the Holy Bible and outside of the Bible there is no gospel offered. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” - Romans 1:16.
    There is never a point in time that Jesus offered anything but salvation to those who would believe in Him. He never offers worldly riches, status, privilege, justice, social equality, gender equality, choice of sexual orientation, or even basic health . . . to anyone at any time or anywhere during this earthly life. The gospel of Jesus Christ, as given to us in the Bible, is offered to anyone who believes that Jesus is God’s only begotten Son and His promise of salvation. “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” - John 14:6. This is all that the Bible has promised! How dare they raise their fists as signs of worldly power against the word of God!
    There is no “word weaver magic,” language deconstruction, or “speech-act theory gobbledygook” affecting semantics or the intended meaning of Holy Scripture. To suggest otherwise is to suggest that the Bible is in error and quite fallible! We have had over 2000 years of the greatest commentators (Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, et al.) in Christian history, led by the Holy Spirit, exegeting what the meaning of Holy Scripture is. The social justice gospel is nothing more than a wet mongrel that has crawled into consideration in the last century! And might I remind those who believe this patent heresy: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7. I wouldn’t want to be attached to the hand that sowed that seed. Remember well the words of Paul to the Galatians - “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.” - Galatians 1:8.
    So what of people who have been disenfranchised by the status quo? What about people who are denied their basic rights and necessities? Do they have no recourse in this world? As Christians, we are to treat everyone as we would be treated. BUT Christ’s message of love drives even deeper than just “doing unto others.” There is a command that goes to the heart of the “Golden Rule.”
    “If someone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.” - 1 John 4:20-21. And it doesn’t stop there. “But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?” - 1 John 3:17.
    Yes, as Christians we most certainly do have a responsibility to right injustice when we encounter it. But our responsibility is to “mankind,” not one or two particular demographics. No specific “identity group” has a monopoly on the word of God. And when such groups boldly declare that the Gospel holds a special revelation for them and for them alone, they are lying. These are lies devised by the devil himself and disseminated by his minions.
    The Christian responsibility to brotherhood extends beyond race, ethnicity, color or denomination; it extends to mankind. Remember the Lord’s Prayer - “OUR Father . . . .” That applies to all mankind, believers and unbelievers, without prejudice until the Day of Judgment when Jesus Christ returns. “His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” - Matthew 3:12.
    May we all understand the love of God for His elect, chosen from before the foundation of the world from all the nations of man.
