Sounds to me that the school has gone from a rigid liberalism (phariseeism) to one of more balance.Originally posted by Loren B:
TTU has undergone numerous changes over the years. My daughter is about to graduate from TTU and I attended back in 1974. At that time there were numerous problems with the sports program. Buiolding the program became more important than their christian testimony. It led to the serious decline of the school.
I am not surprised to hear of the dirty play and cussing from that period.
The school has come full circle from that position. Their athletics are very positively oriented now.
The school did have some very conservative standards but there was never what has been incorrectly defined as "legalism". Those standards have loosened considerably.
Calling an evangelical school liberal is definitely an attack. Evangelical schools are Fundamentalist, Conservative and Moderate. IMO they stop being evangelical schools when they become liberal. That's why it's an attack to call them such. BTW Geography doesn't always prepare one for understanding a school's theological bent.Originally posted by Benaiah:
To Dr. Bob
Why is saying you think a school's position is turning liberal an attack. What is this? The politically correct Baptist board? It seems like the only time someone is rebuked for saying anything on this board is when someone says the King James Bible is the true Word of God. AND by the way Bob, I work a block away from TTU so I think I more of a "clue" than you!

You misunderstand the FACT about TTU. From 1950 to approx. 1980 TTU was the TR university. From 1980 to now TTU is W-H university. Why CHANGE?Originally posted by DeafPosttrib:
TTU is not KJV Onlyism. Also, TTU does not deny God's Word as Bible. TTU believes Bible is inspiration-God breathed. Of course, TTU believe differently as how does English Bible get translation comes from. There been debate about Manuscripts, Translations, and Greek today.
Which side?The most important fundamental what TTU believes about the Bible is, DOCTRINE.
Well, should TTU use Catholic Greek text? Please answer.Askjo, I don't care that you saying TTU comes from W-H on Bible version.
Wrong! Not only Ruckman, there has a few groups of KJV only. I reject Peter Ruckman!!!!!KJV Onlyism causes churches, and colleges into division or split. Thanked to Dr. Peter Ruckman.
I read a 1800's book. It said: "What is the genuine Greek -- what the true Text of the New Testament? Which are the very words which were written by the Evangelists and Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ under the Inspiration of the Holy Ghost?"Debate on Manuscripts is not neccessary.
Which side?By the way, TTU have several excellent professors who is able to teaching on Greek. Dr. Dave Winget is the one example that TTU have the finest professor who can teaching on Greek.
I invesitaged TTu and found which Greek course TTU used for teaching.If you think TTU is part of W-H. Well, why not you ask questions TTU professor, which who is teaching on Greek, about Manuscripts and Bible transaltion. Of course, I am sure you might not agree with TTU professor on Greek.
Reggie told me that he only use the KJV.Let you know Harvest Deaf Baptist College of Rinngold, GA is not KJV Onlyism. Does that mean Harvest Deaf Baptist College is part of W-H? Oh come on!!! That is silly!
Am I Ruckmanite? Please answer.Even, some IFB churches attack on TTU, that college is comes from Alexandrian Cult. Such as it labels comes from Dr. Peter Ruckman's teaching. That is silly.
Did I say that? If so, where?Askjo, are you sure that Harvest Deaf Bible College is part of Alexandrian Cult because of W-H?
Accuse me -- did I say that?If you think so, then TTU, Harvest Deaf Bible College, other IFB colleges are not saved? HUH?!!
Forbid me if I warn anyone?Being labeling IFB colleges as, "W-H" or, "Alexandrian Cult", is silly. That is kind of criticizing or attack.
It is up to you.That why I am not interesting in debate on Manuscripts, translation, KJV Onlyism, and Dr. Peter Ruckman.
In order to understand the difference between the W-H colleges and TR colleges is interpret DIFFERENTLY on the Word of God. Why are they not same is because of 2 sides: NATURALISTIC method AND CONSISTENTLY CHRISTIAN method.No, TTU is not necesscary being label as "W-H", or "Alexandrian Cult", because TTTU is not KJV Onlyism. But, TTU BELIEVES God's Word! Because TTU believes all doctrines comes from God's Word, either KJV or NKJV, both are same doctrine
Ruckman's stuffs? Sorry, I do not buy Ruckman's belief upon the KJV.Originally posted by Mexdeaf:
Askjo said-
MexDeaf, TTU is the W-H university. Do you know what I mean?
Yes, I know what you mean. I have a BA degree in Bible so I took two years of Greek and we did use the W-H Greek text....
... and I STILL believe the Bible is the holy, infallible, inspired, and unchangeable Word of God.
I had a good friend in the dorm who was a disciple of Ruckman. He shared a lot of Ruckman's stuff with me. But what really opened my eyes was when he shared a statement that Ruckman made in which he named several godly men, including Dr. Lee Roberson, and called them a**** because they 'did not believe that the KJV was the Word of God.' I told my friend at that time, thank you, I have heard enough. Anyone who can call godly men like Dr. Roberson a bad name like that is NOT someone I want to follow.
I still use the KJV when I am in the USA. Does not do me any good in Mexico, here I use the Reina Valera 1960.
I don't agree with TTU on everything. But then again some days I wake up and can't even agree with myself.
