Romans 3
10 As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

It's what's expected from the snowflake generation. An absolutely meaningless gesture.

Wonder how many of them had all their educational credits at the university cancelled and removed from the records?
They may get cancelled. Falwell does not play games. I would laugh my rear end off if when they sent in their diploma, he cleared them from the system.

Those who are determined to return diplomas should enroll in another Bible college and get a new degree.
and by returning, Jerry Jr., really has no choice but to revoke their graduation!

Actually, the state of Virginia requires records of courses taken, grades given, and credits earned, be kept for 50 years from date of graduation/withdraw.

So it would be illegal to cancel credits, etc.

All the grandstanders would have to do is request a copy of their degree and, after paying an administrative fee, a new copy would be provided. (One of mine was damaged and I sent for a new one. Cost me $100.)

Can't be done Salty. That would really open a can of worms.

( I assume you meant 50 years?)

Did not say that they would cancel credits - the school would just state they did not graduate ie: no diploma - (aka loophole)

Once awarded it cannot be taken back. Think Salty. The next president could reward them again to those folk and take away all the diplomas of all who remained silent or supported Trump.

No, the credits are still good and if the school is contacted, there's a record of my transcript and degree awarded. I lost my diploma from another school for another degree and I was able to contact the school and get a certified copy of my transcripts and record of degree awarded. And, both my degrees were awarded by schools in Virginia.

Uh, you are aware, are you not, that the LU endowment is well over a Billion dollars? (Yes, billion, with a B.)

That's OK. Universities never have enough. They will notice. If Jr. is anything like his dad it will speak loudly.

Years ago I was working in the company's Santa Ana office. One morning I was watching Jerry Falwell on TV as I got ready for work. His first five minutes was about how every minute on TV should count in giving the message of Christ to the world. Then he spent about 15 minutes begging for money and never mentioned Christ. That was when I realized what was really important to him. I had held him in pretty high regard up to that point.

What an opportunity to witness!!!

Makes me think of the example of a pre-teen who has grown up in a Christian home - is saved, baptised and becomes a great disciple.
then you consider the example of a drunk and ect of many years & comes to church - is saved, baptised and becomes a great disciple

Which is the greater miracle????

From a human standpoint, the latter. From a spiritual standpoint, I'd say they're equal. The miracle of creation that is salvation is of so much greater magnitude than any differences in antecedent condition as to make those differences of no import. The verses from Romans 3 quoted above are part of the bases for my opinion.
