Was Jesus a Social Justice Warrior?

What these progressives are really doing is reading their own definitions of “justice” and “equality” into the Bible.

Many progressive Christians today say that Jesus was a social justice warrior who advocated for socialism. But what these progressives are really doing is reading their own definitions of “justice” and “equality” into the Bible. They aren’t getting their worldview from the Bible, they’re reading the worldview they’ve gathered from secular humanism into the Bible. It’s eisegesis rather than exegesis.

For anyone who believes Jesus was a social justice warrior, I would urge them to go to God’s Word and read it without importing today’s definitions and socialist worldview into it. What they’ll find is that Jesus was anything but a social justice warrior.
