I think it takes focus off the real Gospel which is on personal sin, your standing w/ God, & eternal salvation. I think it takes focus off the individual & the individual's sin. I think it limits sin to society issues. The only sin preached tends to be you having more then someone else. It doesn't look at other problems in your heart. What about stuff like sexual sin? Who God is? Not liking where your life is now?
I was 'stuck' in a social justice church for a few years & every message was on fixing society & blaming the rich. That's not the Gospel. The Cross puts us all on level-field & we all have different sins & struggles
As I've learned a little bit more about the Social Justice Gospel, I've learned it is a form of works-righteousness. I remember the preaching would always end 'we have to do better.' The Bible says we can never be good enough but can rest in Christ.
