I take back my earlier 2nd comment. I now have to disagree with both of you to some degree.
T.R. Perenich- as Sean pointed out, we can’t call out people the same way Jesus did. He knew their hearts,we can’t. We should always correct others with a deep humility and with much prayer. While I agree with much of what you said, I seems your going a bit too far with the name calling which is personal rather than correction of a action seperate from motive.
Sean, your showing a very Christian side that I’m glad to know is lurking behind your sometimes overly direct comments(my problem too). However,everything your doing hinges on the fact that there is a right and wrong in scripture and that God has directed our church to know it. It seems your using some of the same comments people use against you. That we can’t know truth for certian.

T.R. Perenich-I posted before I saw your last response. Your last one sounds a lot better than you first post. I think you and Sean are basically in agreement once things are clarified. There always needs to be a balance between mercy and justice.

T.R. Perenich- Your mostly right, we should not allow this in our school. It is wrong and IF these teachers are going against what they know is right; they are sinning. BUT as Sean rightly pointed out, ONLY God can judge the heart. We have to assume they are misguided and in need of Loving Correction. This does not mean they should be allowed to continue this rebellion as a employee of the Church. We don’t need to know motive to deal with this situation. It doesn’t matter. All we need to know is the fruit of the tree. It’s a clear cut situation to many of us. They need to be removed from the staff if they are unable to align themselves with our held beliefs. All leaders including teachers and those who hold a office in the church should be held to a higher standard as God instructed.
Our responsibility after that is to love them back to the truth as Christ loved us all.

Ravi Zacharias: Should Church Members be Held to a Higher Standard?
Right on the money Sean. This issue seems so clear to many of us, but there are many who have a misunderstanding of God and his ways. We must not judge their hearts. We can however judge many things/actions/ideas to be right or wrong. God has given us his laws and his word for that very reason.

Amen!
Silence of the Geoscience Research Institute
Very true ICR and AIG are miles ahead of us in most every area. We should be at the front of this Creation vs Evolution Issue, not debating if the Bible is true or not.
Andrews University statement on creation
Very well done. God is honored by the Biblical integrity of this statement.
GC document holds LSU professors accountable
That was a great Statement. Too bad no one gave it much thought, much like the Creation summit statements of 2004.
I am aware the GC recently had meetings on the issue and are working to resolve it. Most of the GC leaders have united in support of literal creation from what I have heard. (this is good news)
However, it’s clear having meetings and giving out statements of support for Creationism isn’t going to change things very much at LSU. (the bad news)
