Baylor Football: 52 Rapes in 4 Years Allegation

[johnnylightnin]

Apparently some have a problem with titles not being given, culture from 100 years ago, and bad info on Baylor.

That's not news that folks have problems with Baptists.

But you're mistaken if you think eldership or the pastorate is just a title...at least according to the Bible.

I know what it is. The people who claim to be offended don't. They also don't believe the Bible is the infallible word of God.

If you know what it is, saying they're offended by titles is not honest. Everybody can see when someone has an ax to grind. No use trying to please those people. It's also no use to deny something that patently true. I'd say he got 2.5 out of 3 and, as a Southern Baptist, I have no trouble in admitting that.

Yep, Baylor is a private university affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. The same denomination that supported slavery and still doesn’t recognize women as pastors... go figure

- not "affiliated". Only are Texas resident would know Baylor is a Private Baptist School. A few others who came from Texas perhaps. It is a Texas thing. 0-1

-"supported slavery" in the sense almost all others supported southern culture 100+ years ago. Need to fine a reason to hate a white person? Trace their lineage back to being from the south. 0-2

- "doesn't recognize women as pastors". Being biblical is offensive to some. Is longdawgview as offended by other denominations who will not allow women to be as involved as many great Baptist women who actually serve and lead and preach in the church. 0-3

It's amazing how some will go back in time to find non-existent racism or sexism as an excuse for their hate of a certain denomination or political belief.

I just started the college touring process with my daughter. I am guessing that Baylor will be as TCU is, and distance themselves of being a true "Christian" university. In the tour TCU welcomes anyone, everyone, and you are welcome to be involved in any religious affiliation, or non at all there. From the Baylor website, I am guessing we will be told the same thing. It is a "Christian" university if you want it to be. The Baylor FB page at least has things that indicate they are a Christian though.

If she ends up at TCU I know a good church right across the street (she could walk!).

It is BGCT as well as SBC and there are women ministers on staff though.

Baylor isn't too skeert to play nlulm in monroe.

So that makes them winners to me.

There's a huge difference between TCU and Baylor in terms of faith outlook. TCU is a secular school. It isn't even trying to be Christian in any sense now. There are non-Christian professors even in the religion department. BU isn't a Bible college by any means, but it is still committed to being a Christian university (which is different from saying they expect students to be Christians). BU was moving toward secularization in the 90s but reversed course and began to emphasize "integrating faith and learning" in the classroom -- across the curriculum. That's not to say that you'll be fully comfortable with everything every teacher teaches, and it's a long way from fundamentalism, but the school is committed to having a faith that impacts the classroom.

This is consistent with my understanding of both schools (but again, I know of a good church if she chooses TCU ).

Is that University Baptist? Visited there when I lived in FW. Actually lived right behind the football stadium
