Equality implies that everyone is equal in terms of race, sex, or any other distinguishing factor. While justice brings forth judgment and result in punishment or reward and implies a specific set of morals to be followed. CLS replaces the word equality for justice. They aim to break down justice and abolish all laws so that there may be a Utopian society, but this would fail because the restricting laws would still not allow us to grow. But these ideas are much different from the Biblical view of justice.
God has called each of us "to do what is just and right" according to the law that God has given us (Jeremiah 22:3). We are not to create our own version of law and to change it, but to "observe the Lord's commands" (Deuteronomy 10:12-19). God is our example of justice because he has shown us already what to do, and all of his commands are just and equal and doesn't want to force us into submission, but rather have us live in peace "for our own good" (Deuteronomy 10:12-19). He gave us a set of guidelines that we are to follow. Also, God shows "no partiality" and makes everything completely equal. Since there is no such thing as universal justice within CLS, then it logically follows that Christianity and CLS are in stark contrast because God calls everyone to the same standard of justness. As Christians, we are to carry our God's perfect and unchanging law so that God can protect us. Christians should aim to seek justice for everyone, while those who practice CLS only aim to seek equality.
