Or do you really think, like old Jack Fields, that you don't have to ask a Baylor girl if she's a virgin? You know she is. LOL.
The BOR no longer disappoints me. I have come to expect this kinda crap from them.SIC EM 94 said:

I guess you weren't taught free will. You seem to want to rate individual sins and then condemn those that are in your top ten. Again not your call. The God and Son have the final say. You still are not either. We are told to love. That is good enough for me. I sin enough as it is and have reached that point of realizing that I have no right to judge.

Some of you folks seem to mistake the God of the Bible with the same sort of spirit that rules over Burning Man. Check your New Age, sin-tolerant false god.
If earlier debates regarding Revoice were too esoteric for the ordinary believer, this report wonāt be. Itās very clear that Revoice has chosen a path, but what this report describes is not the path to Christian faithfulness. Not by a long shot.@CBMWorghttps://t.co/We6zgCXZBO

Revoice has changed, too. Speakers have always emphasized homosexuality as an identity, not just a behavior. But this year, such assertions from the dais seemed more insistent, with speakers assiduously using civil-rights language to present radical change as settled truth. That identity rhetoric extended to transgender ideology. Speakers frequently referred to "sexual and gender minorities" and used preferred pronouns, along with terms such as women "assigned female at birth." The group's reach and influence are growing, but leaders now emphasize parachurch activities. Speakers frequently referenced ongoing rejection within the church and encouraged attendees to form their own spiritual communities in local Revoice chapters.
Critics have long warned that Revoice's messaging is deceptive and erroneously conflates Biblical teaching and the good news of the gospel with cultural messages about sexuality and gender. Now, they say those seeds of error are leading Revoice further from Biblical orthodoxy and undercutting the Creation ordinance, "male and female he created them."
"Sin is progressive, and what we're seeing with Revoice is the progression of that sin," said Rosaria Butterfield, a former lesbian feminist and tenured English professor at Syracuse University who is now a pastor's wife and mother of four.
The Church unfortunately more often than not has voluntarily submitted to the Culture. Not surprise the Gaystapo would take precedents over the Gospel. There was a very slippery slope from acceptance to celebration to advocacy.Redbrickbear said:
LGBTQ group that was founded to be pro-gay but also "committed to Biblical truth about sexuality" turns out to now be a advocacy group.

World magazine went to the recent Revoice conference, and was startled by what it saw. Excerpts from the World report:Quote:

My daughter just got her ACT scores back. That combined with her honors classes, and stellar GPA mean that she is automatically accepted at Baylor... her first choice.
Now... maybe not so much. One of her other options is John Brown University in rural Arkansas. It is very far from home, and no where close to the name recognition as BU.... but it is still a CHRISTIAN education, and not some watered down BS.
This is probably going to be the final straw for her.
I'm very sad that my university has gone down this road. It leads to absolute hell, and there is nothing redeeming about it.
I only hope that this Trans bull**** will implode upon itself, before my other kids hit college age.
Honest question: Do you think there is any chance that people will wake up and realize just how destructive this trans crap is? People are ruining their bodies and their lives over some depression and feelings of confusion. This has gotten out of control.
You are asking Christians to endorse celebration of something that the Bible unequivocally describes as (at minimum) unGodly behavior, and attacking anyone who disagrees with you as bigots. Because such is now culturally fashionable, you will intimidate many into silence, but you should know that you will change few minds on these questions.BleedGreen&Gold said:It means allowing LGBTQ people to be able to exist.

1. If gay students can't exist at Baylor before this gay club, who asked to start it?
2. Can you name one resource or opportunity a gay student did not have at Baylor before the gay club?
3. Gay students are prevented from forming student organizations? Can you document?
4. Gay student can't meet together unless there is a gay club? How will gays know there is a new gay club if they can't talk?
5. There were not gays at Baylor before the gay club, none out of the closet?
That is what I figured, and I doubt I will get an answer. As noted, generally these are long on emotional hyperbole and short on specifics. The reality is Baylor has always had its share of gay students. I knew many while I was there. Despite not having wild "Pride" parades and Drag Queen Dr Pepper hour they seemed to have a great experience. To my knowledge, none of them were denied the ability to exist, prevented from starting organizations, develop a community, or even hide. I generally do not understand this requirement that every institution formally recognize every sexual proclivity. I have a few gay friends, and I can assure you their self-worth and happiness is not dependent on being recognized by every institution with a club or a flag.Golem said:It's all about definitions of his words.
