Bible as reference

See WP:Primary sources. It says " Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages to describe the plot, but any interpretation needs a secondary source. Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so. Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them." You were interpreting the Bible, you'd need sources meeting our criteria at WP:VERIFY and WP:RS stating the the Bible encourages social justice. Also, the sentence "Today, Christians like Craig Greenfield seek to follow Jesus example by living the poor and fighting for Social justice" is not encyclopedic. It seems promotional, it asserts as fact that Jesus existed (he probably did but still) and that he fought for social justice. That might belong in an article about Craig Greenfield but no where else and it would have to be attributed to a reliable source. Doug Weller talk 13:11, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

I have edited the post, made the language more neutral and taken out the reference to Craig Greenfield.

The Bible, the book that Christians base their faith on, has many references to Social justice. Isaiah chapter 58 from the Old Testament states 'This is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned, lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless'. In the new testament Jesus, who Christians believe is God in human form, aligns himself with the poor by being born in a humble stable and associating with the outcasts of society . Jesus said that 'today this scripture has been fulfilled' after he read in the synagogue the words from the book of Isaiah 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, and the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord's favor has come'. Instead Jesus told his followers to 'Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven!'. True religion is defined in the Bible in terms of Social justice 'Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you'. The first church recorded in the Bible practiced Social justice as they 'sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity' .

Since the time of the first Church, Christians around the world have been giving up worldly comforts and standing up for the rights of the poor and oppressed. For example William Wilberforce fought to have slavery abolished in England, Mother Theresa tended to the needs of the poor, George Muller provided care for thousands of orphans, and the Salvation Army seek to help the poor and down trodden.
