In my first blog, I would like to address the Ergun Caner/Liberty University issue.
If you have been following this, you know that you can find the evidence that Ergun Caner has been changing his past, depending on where or when he is speaking.
We all have or have spoken to someone who has embellished a story. Some of us may even know a seminary president. But, I doubt, we know a seminary president, who has stayed such, after rewriting his past with embellishments and deceit.
You can find the Caner evidence here and here with further links provided.
Now, as to the title, my question is, "Will Liberty do what is God-honoring or what the Right-Wing usually does?"
Liberty could have and can handle things the way God wants us to, i.e. I John 1:9, James 5: 19, 20 and 1 Peter 4:7-9.
But, they seem to be handling the issue as Bob Jones University handled its no interracial dating policy in 2000.
Instead of immediately taking the God-honoring course, BJU had to be pressured into giving up the policy by the secular media. Liberty, basically, gave the same reason, the secular media, in their statement on the Dr. Caner issue.
The one thing Christians should know is that we shouldn't be doing things just because the media wants us to. Secondly, and more importantly, it should not take the mainstream media to shame us into confession. We should be ready as David, when confronted by Nathan, to admit our guilt, 2 Samuel 12:13.
My hope is that Dr. Caner will confess as necessary, Liberty will take the proper action against Dr. Caner, because God requires it, not because of the media, and Dr. Caner will receive forgiveness. Whatever the consequences, the unbelieving, especially Muslim, world is watching and needs to see that Christians do stand for truth, even against our own. May Paul be our example in this, i.e. Galatians 2:10-12. May God be praised.
