Social Gospel Theology - OR - Biblical Gospel Theology - Which Will YOU Follow?

On May 1, 2014, I posted the article below on Facebook and in my Friends Ministry eNewsletter.   However, considering the current political environment in America today, and the strong probability that the presidential election of November 2016 will be Trump vs Hillary - I believe it is time to revisit those thoughts from 2014.  Because, today, they are more relevant than ever. 

This is the same article I posted in 2014; but, I have made several grammatical corrections and I have added additional material for your consideration before you vote.

God bless, Bill

A GOOD READ FOR ALL WHO WILL CARE ENOUGH TO VOTE!   Hillary affirms her commitment to a Social Gospel Theology - instead of a Biblical Gospel Theology.  What is the difference? 

Biblical Gospel Theology is based upon what God tells us in His Written Word, the Bible.  

Social Gospel Theology is based upon what the secular society tells us it wants.

Hillary's Methodism Rooted In Radicalism

Speaking recently at a United Methodist Church event, Hillary Rodham Clinton made it clear she especially appreciates the mainline denomination's commitment to the Social Gospel.

Mark Tooley, president of the Washington, DC-based Institute on Religion & Democracy (IRD), says (the) Methodist thought (and teachings) in that small church outside of Chicago obviously influenced Clinton and introduced her to social justice issues.

"She was especially influenced by a then-young youth minister who I think steered her in a more liberal, activist direction," Tooley tells OneNewsNow. "And she also has cited many times that a radical Methodist youth magazine called Motive made a very deep impression on her. She has said she has kept every issue even decades later."

According to the Boston University School of Theology, Motive ceased publication in 1972 when UMC officials withdrew funding because the magazine's strong stands on civil rights, Vietnam, and "emerging gender issues became more than [the denomination] could take." The final issue was released in two parts: one for "gay" men, the other for lesbians.

"She was especially influenced by a then-young youth minister who I think steered her in a more liberal, activist direction,"  Tooley tells OneNewsNow.  

"And she also has cited many times that a radical Methodist youth magazine called 'Motive' made a very deep impression on her.  She has said she has kept every issue even decades later."

According to the Boston University School of Theology,  (the magazine) 'Motive' ceased publication in 1972 when UMC officials withdrew funding because the magazine's strong stands on civil rights, Vietnam, and "emerging gender issues became more than [the denomination] could take." 

The final issue was released in two parts:  one for gay men -  the other for lesbians.

Clinton, also a former U.S. senator from New York, said she cherishes the UMC because it offers the "great gift" of personal salvation - as well as a commitment to the Social Gospel.  But Tooley contends denominational executives embrace a much different worldview .  .  .

Clinton concluded by stating she takes seriously the obligation to the social gospel, which has guided her work as an advocate for women, children, and families. - See more at: http://onenewsnow.com/church/2014/04/30/hillarys-methodism-rooted-in-radicalism#.U2K7b1clbJY

Thinking voters might want to also read the following article, which is an interview:

God and Hillary Clinton
By: Jamie Glazov, FrontPageMagazine.com |

FrontPage Interview’s guest today, Paul Kengor, (is) the author of the New York Times extended-list bestseller "God and Ronald Reagan" as well as "God and George W. Bush" and "The Crusader." 

He is a professor of political science and director of the Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College.  He is the author of the first spiritual biography of the former first lady, "God and Hillary Clinton. . ."

FrontPage:  What inspired you to write this book?

Kengor:  Well, that question seems to baffle a lot of people.  The market for this book has been narrowed by conservatives who have trouble believing that Hillary believes in God - or liberals who don’t care that she believes in God.  I’ve probably done about 40 interviews with conservative sources, but have yet to do a single interview with a liberal source. 

I thought liberals would think to themselves, “Gee, this conservative author who has written books on the faiths of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush has surprised us with a fair, comprehensive look at the faith of Hillary Clinton, and from literally the first page he doesn’t doubt her claims to be a Christian!”

But that hasn’t been the response, Jamie.  They are not beating down my door.  Maybe liberals could simply give a rip that Hillary believes in God.

Of course, that shouldn’t be a surprise.  Liberals, and especially the dominant press, obsess over the fact that religious voters overwhelming support Republicans, but it is rarely mentioned that liberal Democratic politicians rely on non-religious voters.  Atheists are consistently in the bag for liberal candidates. . . .

So, un-belief works for liberal Democrats.  Here’s a statistical fact: The greater the number of people who do not believe in God, the greater the number of votes for liberal Democrats.  I suppose Al Gore might call that a triumph of reason.

The problem for most of these liberal politicians is that they run for office in America and not in France.  They would do extremely well among the socialist, unbelieving populations of Europe.

This may seem like a digression from your question, but it isn’t.  It brings me to the central reason why I wrote this book: Hillary Clinton realizes that if she is to win in 2008, she needs more than the atheist vote.

My Friends, the Hillary Clinton who would do anything to get your votes, is the same Hillary Clinton of today who is turning over every rock looking for votes.  It is the same Hillary, although a much more radicalized version.

Even though the Ultra Left Liberal Socialist folks keep screaming "Separation Of Church And State" - can that ever be true?    Do you know of ANY Liberal Democrat politician who has NOT stepped into a pulpit to declare themselves?  NO! 

And, when they do, they are carbon copies of Hillary, who basically tells us, "Forget the Biblical Gospel.  Let's talk about secular society's Social Gospel."

Which will YOU follow:  Hillary's Social Gospel -- OR -- God's Biblical Gospel?

Joshua 24:15, “If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

 
Who will YOU serve?   In November 2016, WILL YOU VOTE:  For Hillary's Social Gospel  - OR - For God's Biblical Gospel?  

Think about it.  THEN VOTE!

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill
