1) Conflating the Gospel (what God has done in Christ) with our response to the Gospel turns “good news” into very “bad news.”
2) Social action without the emphasis and foundation of what Christ has done for sinners on the Cross (of which is of first importance– cf. 1 Cor. 15:1-11), or, proclaiming a “thick” Gospel (that God is making all things new) without telling sinners how to be reconciled to God, is not only unbiblical, it is sadistic.

So now you’re getting into the axiom business too?
I like it. Thanks for the thought-provocation.
Yes, thank you for inspiring me! However, now I feel a bit arrogant considering that I labeled mine “Axiom” while your’s are “Attempted Axiom.”
Yeah, I feel like I’m not quite glorified enough yet to be asserting axioms with certainty.
Barring inspiration of course.
