One of my fellow protesters has been communicating with the Collegiate Ministries Coordinator for the TBC since the protest and has posted some of that correspondence:
Essentially, I would just like to discuss questions that were related to the heart issues behind the matters, questions on philosophy of action, biblical connections, questions on how the parties were communicating or not communicating, etc (which is really all students are concerned about anyway). James wouldn’t go into any of that and in fact said it was irrelevant.
In fact, in response to questions raised regarding Paul’s instruction in 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 he said, “I am well aware that Scripture says we should not sue. But sometimes circumstances and other parties leave no alternative.” Scripture can just be sooo inconvenient sometimes, can’t it Dr. Porch?
There seems to be a bunch of religiosity divorced from the gospel; hearts held hostage by shallow compartmentalized faith that only reaches so deep.
…and then the plea:
Assuage my doubts. Let me know that a bunch of old men are not playing chess with other people’s lives. Let me know that they’re pondering both grace and justice in light of God’s Word alone and not secular wisdom. Let me know that there is hope in joining the world of adults and not just more of which to despair.
That’s exactly what I was concerned about, so thanks Matt. Read more, it’s important.
