Featured About Liberty University

From a UPI article in 1985, included snapshot of Jesse Jackson laying hands on fellow Baptist politi-pastor Jerry Falwell Sr.

"Falwell even invited the Rev. Jesse Jackson to speak at Thomas Road....Two years ago, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., delivered an address to Liberty University"

 

Seems like they shared some of the same kinks.

 

Lucifer is laughing hysterically... to contemplate either as Christian is absurd

 

I think their views on Israel confirm they are deceived. And any politician aligned with them is extremely dangerous.

 

It is my understanding that Carter withdrew from the S.B.C. because it was not "gay friendly." For that reason alone, he shouldn't have been invited.
I realize that we aren't talking about having them preach in the pulpit but Christian university officials need to consider the activist mentality of many liberal government leaders before inviting them to address the student body. Remember how Paul confronted Peter and refused to allow him to promote Judaising Christian believers on his turf?

If an institution offers an education in a Christian environment, then it would seem that the officials there have a responsibility to screen out any speaker who would promote an agenda that is contrary to the Christian faith.

 

Jimmy Carter to deliver 2018 Commencement address - Liberty News

Jerry Falwell Jr.: "It is one of the greatest honors of my life to welcome President Carter to our Commencement stage. I have tremendous respect for him as a statesman and a true Christian....President Carter, both during his time in office and since, has followed the teachings of Christ by serving the poor and loving his neighbors. I am thrilled that he will be sharing the story of his life of faith in action to our graduates and their families."

 

I must have gotten the facts all wrong, Salty. I do know that Carter's pro homosexual stance puts him at odds with most every Christian institution in the country.

So far as I know, Carter's home church is still SBC, but clearly aligned with the liberal CBF contingent that is still active within the demomination.

 

As a parent, I would encourage my child to attend a conservative leaning Christian college/university because the indoctrination would likely be more in keeping with my convictions.

[Pro 22:6 KJV] 6 Train up(H2596) a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

The KJV translates Strong's H2596 in the following manner: dedicate (4x), train up (1x).

By your statement then, you wouldn’t mind a Mormon or even atheist teaching in a seminary or university?

 

So to you, having a non-Christian guest speaker would be the same as having a permanent non-Christian instructor. Do have have your understanding correct?

 

Good for them!

 

Well, I think there are lot of Morons who have been speaking lately.

 

Southern Seminary allows for "Non-Baptist" teachers. [see p.11, (pdf page 15) subsection 3]:
