My first inclination was to look up a number to call the school and complain.
Although it’s still not clear what was going on. If a student uses a Bible to stir up trouble, that’s as unbiblical as you can get.
What I mean is, it’s always good to take a look at the surrounding scenery. And it’s not pretty.
Not only do we have non-Christians fighting against Christians, but there’s the devil himself right in the middle of things, doing whatever he can to trick Christians into doing his bidding.
The only problem here was on the part of the hateful professor.
It’s not always an easy question because we can’t read his mind.
To do it to show off in the face of unbelievers isn’t right. IF that is what is happening.
A better show of his faith would be for him to answer “God bless you, and this book shows me how” to those who are giving him grief. At the very least this will push his tormentors out on a limb with statements like “We don’t need God’s blessings.” The reply could be a meek “I disagree.” And then let the good Lord take it from there.
How is reading the bible on your own time “stirring up trouble”? It seems the objecters have a problem, but how is that the Bible-reader’s problem? Besides, 1 Corinthians 1:23 states But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; So we know others will be offended, but we still must preach. Reading the Bible seems a fairly non-troublesome method of doing so. Like I said, it’s their problem. They can deal with it by growing up.
Bet if he were reading the Koran or Communist Manifest not a word would have been said.
Matthew 10:34
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
