Gay Student Expelled from Baptist College

[Razberry]

This was on the front page of the Lexington Herald-Leader this morning. (The Lexington Liberal, as I refer to it.)

A KY Legislator is stating the school should no longer receive state funding because they discriminate. Seems Christians will be forced to accept the gay lifestyle as normality, or we will be discrimated against. Opinions?

I have no idea if I'm posting this in the right place.

i wasn't aware that Christian universities were able to recieve state funding. i thought they were considered private institutions... the whole liberal "separation of church and state" garbage.

let them withdraw funding. God will make a way. God blesses those that defend His Word. and God doesn't need the help of the state government, He is capable of sustaining the university financially without them.

We sure do need to pray for this school...every time we think about them...

There are churches and schools falling all around...

They will either stand or they will fall victim to political correctness...

I pray they stand...

This is America...a private school can have its own rules, and as long as they do not accept public money, they can do what they want. "Come out from among them!" Time to stop taking government money, that's all.

nail on the head!

Good point. I never thought of that, but apparently they are eligible for funding. Our legislator who is condemning the school is Ernesto Scorsone. He is the only openly gay member of the general assembly. I'm curious to see whether or not he gets his way.

And God will make the way, I agree.

All Christian schools which accept government funds have already had to compromise on some issues. Christian schools really need to eschew government money.

I had rather have a school with the power of God on it than all the money the goverment could give.

God is not for homosexuals and never will be. A christian cant stradle the fence. You are for God and what his word says

or you agree with them and are against God.

I've lost friends, been shunned from other message boards, and my brother lost a girlfriend because we believe homosexuality is a sinful/self-destructive lifestyle and not a born-with condition encoded in one's DNA.

How many people must die slow horrible deaths via sexually transmitted disease and drug abuse before society realizes that the acceptance of homosexuality means more disease and death? And when will people realize?: Friends don't let friends be homos!

What bothers me is the student reaction...a lot of it is fluffed up Christianity along with outright false teachings. Either these students aren't taking teachings to heart, or the school is failing to teach them a proper Christian worldview.
