Pelagianism
By Pete Orta
The morality of the Social Justice Movement is Pelagianism.
"When the Pelagians pointed to the virtues of the
heathen, who 'merely through the power of innate freedom' were often merciful,
discreet, chaste, and temperate, he (Augustine) answered that these so-called
virtues were sins, because they did not spring from faith. He admits that the
heathen can perform certain acts which are in themselves good and from a lower
point of view even praiseworthy, but yet conciders these deeds, as the deeds of
unregenerate persons, to be sin, because they do not spring from the motive of
love to God or of faith, and do not answer to the right purpose, the glory of
God. He (Augustine) denies that such deeds are the fruit of any natural
goodness in man." ~ Berkhof
