Amen! The Church should preach the Gospel; making sure their congregation of believers understand what is true biblical justice...and encourage repentance... a change of heart...too much emphasis on "social justice" - the world... instead of the real necessity which is to practice Ture Biblical Justice...let us begin with: 1 John 2:8 -11. 15-17...

And one final thing-without Martin Luther king jr (who he is a bit negative with at the end of video) and others like him - this man in the video wouldn’t be able to sit on stage next to Johnny. This is a fact. They were still preaching the gospel back then too but Jim Crow laws were real.

This is the first video on your channel which I _sort of_ have agreed with. I don't understand how he breaks down his point about righteousness, but I do agree with his point about equity. Fairness of inputs is indeed important. The place where most people seem to disagree is on the inputs and where they begin. Many Christians in America and around the world are denying the historical roots of poverty and wanting to claim that teaching history equals teaching unfairness. They would rather cover it up and pretend. I liked the analogy presented by one lady. Imagine playing a monopoly game but one player has 209 turns while the other player is sitting in jail for the first 200 turns. By time they get started, the other player has passed go and collected 200 dollars each time. They have been buying up and building up real estate and utilities etc. Even if on the 200th time, both are rolling from the same go spot, one player has gained an unfair advantage and one player has to catch up miraculously.

I am glad they clarified what is today's definition of social justice. I am going to ponder more on what he said. I believe there is truth in it. This is s short video so he could not expound. I will say most of my life I have heard those who were against Dr. King and their reasonings. What I have gleaned from my study, I disagree. I am willing to research more again.

Good stuff

[@TheDbwillia]

He talks a lot about “input” as long as the input is fair and unbiased we have to trust the decision-now I studied history and I know that many of the input -the jurors and the justice system let’s say even in the 70s - was not unbiased at all. Quite the opposite for certain people groups-namely his. So then what about that “justice”? Since the input was biased and wrong (which we have clear evidence of now even from some judges that are still living) how do we claim or even try to claim God was in that. I understand where he is coming from, but it’s not adding up all the way.

[@JGSmith82]

I think you may be misunderstanding what he's saying....he's saying that Christians should focus on righting precisely the sort of bias that you mention- the bias in regard to "income" as he puts it- so that ALL people are equal before the law, regardless of what group you belong to...because that is what Biblical justice is concerned with. But social justice is primarily concerned with equity (or sameness) regarding outcome...not equality before the law. In fact, much of the idea behind the social justice movement involves using the laws to favor one group over another in order to try to acheive equity of outcome. (He mixes up the terms equality and equity in his response- he says "equity of income" and "equality of outcome", so he has them backwards but its clear what he means.)

[@garlicgirl3149]

I do understand what you see trying to say.

John 18:36 “Jesus said, ‘My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not from here’” Romans 12:19 19Never take your own revenge, beloved, but fnleave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord. Matthew 10:34 34“Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." -Jesus

[@derrickhorton9308]

There is justice and injustice in the Bible, but no social justice. Define for me m, social?

Hell will be very diverse 😭😈🔥Seek The Lord Christ Jesus 😢😔🤲🛐😇🙏📖Galatians 5:16-26 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bible.kingjamesbiblelite

Hey Jonny - looks like you are trying hard to look super cool with the tight shirt, skinny jeans and no socks. Good content but you could stand a bit of gravitas! Dress your message! 😊
