"but, we also have to step back and say the term social justice has a pedigree within christian conversation long before the Marxist appropriation of the term and to understand the scripture in cohesive whole of the OT & NT (here's biblical theology again) in the flow of biblical history there is no question about justice being first & foremost God's own infinite perfection and apart of what it means to be made in God's image is that we are accountable to divine justice and to seeking through human flourishing to see God's justice reflected in a fallen world. It becomes more necessary as our concern..." 3:45

"In Deuteronomy, one of the headings is "Teachings on Social Justice". Now that doesn't come from the Frankfurt School. That's not coming from Marxism that's coming from reading Deuteronomy. This is just a very important issue to think about. So in other words we could use the word "Social Justice" and I'm reluctant to use the term generally. I'm talking about justice, which always I think in a biblical frame means an individual responsibility, but it relates also to society. Just read the prophets in the OT..." 4:56

"I'm very concerned about the issue of race as related to the statement and I don't want to read bad motivations on the people who may have signed the statement, but The statement itself i think makes it very difficult to acknowledge the reality of the sin of race on american society and even in american Christianity so that's something that concerns me greatly."

Why Fight Racial Prejudice? - John Piper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSLWjNdrcvI

In 1 Corinthians 5: 12 Paul tells us we are to judge those within the church yet in Romans 14: 13 there he says we are not to judge one another... In what way if any are Christians to judge one another?

1 Corinthians 5: 9-13

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”

Romans 14: 13

Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

John Piper on Racial Prejudice. "If you stood in awe of the alien distance that he crossed to get his arms around you, to die for you, you couldn't not act in accord with it."

James 2: 15 - 20

If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?

How to Understand and Address White Privilege by Pastor Matt Chandler of the Village Church (resources). Particularly for Americans but applicable to majority populations worldwide.

"When you open up your news paper or you open a magazine you're gonna see Anglos portrayed mostly in a positive sense. If you go to buy your kids toys or buy a little book its going to be pretty easy to just find kids that look like them on the cover so we don't know what its like to look around Barnes and Noble for 15 minutes trying to find a book about a little girl growing up that looks like our little girl or like a little boy that looks like our little boy. Like we never had to struggle with that, we don't get anxious every time we open up a newspaper about how we'll be portrayed."
