«While I applaud and agree with many of Glenn Beck's conservative and constitutional views, that does not give me or any other Bible - believing Christian justification to
compromise Biblical truth by spiritually joining Beck.»
The alleged subordination of the gospel to Karl Marx is illustrated, for example, by charging that «false» liberation theology concentrates too much on a few selected
biblical texts that are always given a political meaning, leading to an overemphasis on «material» poverty and neglecting other kinds of poverty; that this leads to a «temporal messianism» that confuses the Kingdom of God with a purely «earthly» new society, so that the gospel is collapsed into nothing but political endeavor; that the emphasis on social sin and structural evil leads to an ignoring or forgetting of the reality of personal sin; that everything is reduced to praxis (the interplay of action and reflection) as the only criterion of faith, so that the notion of
truth is
compromised; and that the emphasis on communidades de base sets a so - called «people's church» against the hierarchy.
