When one's primary defense is to call the opposition homophobic or intolerant, and present no Biblical basis for one's views, that is an entirely different situation from an honest, truth-seeking, objective search of the scriptures for how to lives one's life. JBU's policy of "redemption discipline" works beautifully with the latter situation.<br /> <br /> For a roundup of Guinn-related information, go here.

But unlike adultery and promiscuity, homosexuality lies at the center of a massive, concerted effort to desensitize and gain acceptance in society, culture, and the Church. Sob stories like these are actually replacing biblical doctrine as the litmus test for acceptance. Our postmodern minds prefer the subjective to the objective and when we do that, our brains are no longer equipped to think biblically.<br /> <br /> "Open" homosexuality is incompatible with orthodox Christianity. Homosexuality is not something to be celebrated, let alone tolerated. The school dismissed guinn for advertising his clearly unrepentent perversity. I would hope that any school that boasts "Christ over all" would do the same thing. <br /> <br /> Sexual sin is an extremely dangerous thing and homosexuality is not any more egregious than the other forms of sexual perversion such as adultery and promiscuity.

“Open” homosexuality is incompatible with orthodox Christianity. Homosexuality is not something to be celebrated, let alone tolerated. The school dismissed guinn for advertising his clearly unrepentent perversity. I would hope that any school that boasts “Christ over all” would do the same thing.

The boy's charting DSM territory with some of his views on his homosexuality. To me the money issue was just a red herring. There’s more to it than just the free tuitition.

Those who lead an ACTIVE homosexual lifesyle are to be disciplined/removed.<br /> <br /> It would seem to me that the policy of JBU ought to be the same as it is in traditionalist Catholic colleges: As long as you are committed to Christ, it does not matter if you are homosexual, because sex outside of marriage is forbidden, including homosexual sex.
