Answer 3

both behavior and orientation is sin (2017 Nashville statement) - The object of your desire is what makes it sinful (not chosenness or intensity of desire) (covet and lust are the same greek word for desire) (Matt 5 // James 1:13-14)

Social Justice: Leveling of power; allergic to authority (Problems: doesn't give you any real solutions; assumes divided groups; already socially imagined as in conflict with someone) (Strengths: recognizes that oppression is evil; focuses on groups rather than individuals and institutions can promote sin; institutional power and corruption can and does exist)

Answer 39

(subset of Critical Theory) academic discipline that attempts to understand race and racism through the lens of power (in responding to this, Christians can fall into two opposite errors: alarmism and denialism)

Pacifism (any violence is wrong) (MLK, Ghandi, Anabaptists, Richard Hays) (Matt 5; 1 Peter 2:21) (Peter put your sword away) (this can't be sustained biblically; Jesus is coming with a sword in his second coming) (it's unloving to not to do it) 4. Just War (it is permissible to use violence, under a certain set of circumstances) (Plato, Cicero, Luther, Calvin, Aquinas) (Principles: Jus ad bellum AND Jus in bello) (Isaiah 56:1; Psalm 82:3-4; Hebrews 11:32-34)
