So instead they invite a group of people who do all of those.
With a decision such as this, one could hardly call Gordon Christian.
I wonder if they’d welcome NARAL to come and speak?........
Or NAMBLA?.....
Oh yes. Bay State bump
They are probably on the bus............(in the back)......
P.R. stund. Makes them look desperat for attention.
“Gordon College in Wenham will welcome to campus this week a busload of young adults who are sharply critical of the school’s policies on homosexuality.”
It isn’t the worst thing to expose the students to the opposite viewpoint so that they can challenge what they thank. If this school has done its job well then these homosexual activists will have no effect. I think its better to know exactly what your opponents think than to wall yourself off from the world and only deal with those who think like you.
This isn’t necessarily anything new for them. When i was a senior they invited a “pastor” who held similar views on homosexuality to speak. We gave him something of a tough time at question and answer time. As I recall one student asked “What if i made the argument that God created me to find sexual fulfillment with multiple partners?”
He dodged the question completely.
Already there.
In the same manner that I, a Young Earth Creationist, advocate teaching Evolution along side Creationism, I commend the college for allowing their students to be exposed to the Sodomite agenda. We cannot hide from the world around us...as much as we may disagree, even condemn, its standards of morality.
Yes. Don’t jump on Gordon. They are one of the few, if not the ONLY, Conservative Theological Seminary in Mass. Contrast them with Andover-Newton, where Gays are probably on the Board..
“So instead they invite a group of people who do all of those.”
It is not the healthy who need a doctor. It is the sick.
But they are not coming to get healed, they are coming to confront. It is one thing to welcome in someone who is a lost soul, it is another to welcome in someone who is a sworn enemy.
Even a doctor would not advocate that the healthy do anything that would make them SICK!
Or Harvard Divinity, where the basic premise is, “Christianity is bad, and Judaism is bad where it crosses Christianity.”
Of course, I don’t think Andover Newton and Harvard Div. are on this groups list.
(From an earlier post of mine)
My son, home for Easter, told me that his school, Cedarville U., intends to attempt ministering to this group. I expressed my concerns regarding the media event agenda I expect them to pursue. He says they have been very much in prayer for months over this and have been preparing extensively for their arrival. I understand that the school has tracked other schools experiences closely in making their own preparations. Their arrival is scheduled for April 19.

In Jesus’s mind the sick came for repentance, not excuses to perpetuate their “sickness”.
