Marxist agenda perverting the Kingdom of God
A friend of mine sent me a link to Rohr's homily titled "Capitalist Economy and Gift Economy." After listening to it, I agree with Rohr in that it is every Christian's responsiblilty to care for the poor. Unfortunately, he grossly misrepresents Capitalism (free market) as a system of taking and keeping score (straw man). What's the alternative (marxist socialism) where the government "takes" and "keeps" and impovrishs nearly everyone, but the elite. Capitalism allows individuals the opportunity to give out of love and generosity, rather than guilt and compulsion to government programs. It's not a perfect system, nor should it be combined with the gospel. After some research I discovered that Rohr and his buddy Jim Wallis are heavily influenced by Liberation Theology. In short they cloak their marxist beliefs in gospel terms. He teaches a social justice political agenda that divides people into the "Haves" and "Have-Nots". Do your own homework and study the history of Liberation Theology, before you buy into this lie. Also see Dallas Willard's book the Divine Conspiracy for a better understanding of the Sermon on the Mount. It's not a being poor is not a meritorious position (legalism), but God loves and can save you despite your poverty.Read full review »
