Q. I go to a "Christian" College and am required to take a certain number of religion courses in order to graduate. This semester, I have a religion professor who rejects many of the central teachings of Christianity. For example, he believes that Jesus was an just ordinary man and that the resurrection is just a myth. He views the Bible as a self-contradictory story. To make matters worse, he is terribly cruel when anyone disagrees with him. I often feel like I am faced with either rejecting what I believe about God and Jesus or from suffering humiliation and bad grades. How should I deal with this professor and this class? [Anon]
A. Are you "really" attending a "Christian" College? Do you believe that this is where you were sent to be by the Lord? Would He put you into a place that wants to teach you something contradictory to His Word?
I have had a dose of some of these "so called" Christian Colleges and Bible Schools. I could only come to one conclusion as to the definition of such places. They are a place where young, on fire for the Lord, Bible believing Christians go to have their fire's put out! Not all today, but most.
This man is trying to teach you that you are not serving a Risen Savior! Isn't that against Gods Word? Doesn't this cause confusion? 1st Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. But Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. If He had not risen from the Grave, how then could He have been victorious? It took the Death, Burial, and the Resurrection to make God's plan complete! 1st Corinthians 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Don't allow this man to tell you that your faith is in vain!
If this Christian College allows such a man to teach there, is it really a Christian work according to the Scriptures? If you are a Blood bought, born again Christian, why are you still there under this mans teachings?
You stated that he ridicules anyone who disagree's with him, right? Luke 9:5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. It's not a difficult concept and this is how the Lord told us to deal with them. Hosea 4:17: Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
If you are called of God for a purpose, HE WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE TRAINED FOR HIS PURPOSE. 1st John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Get yourself away from those who would try to tear down your faith! 2nd Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
