The following should not surprise anyone. Seminaries, Bible colleges, places where the Word of God ought to be uppermost, faithfully taught, faithfully believed, are in truth quite the opposite. It would behoove everyone to take the time to learn what has been and what is really taking place in all these institutions.
Many remain sound in their doctrine and teaching, but they are in an ever-decreasing number. Learn the high percentage of seminary and theology graduates who do not believe Jesus is God, did not conquer death, was not born of a virgin, and on and on and on it goes.
I once was in an adult Bible study class with a pastor who was in his mid-70s, and he would at times be very open during class. He had graduated from a seminary over 35 years earlier, when we were in his class. He told how during the whole time in the seminary, the Word of God was rarely read.
Yes. Reality. And that isn’t the only thing not right in many seminaries and theology schools in our time.

Sorry Fuller Seminary, It Shouldn’t Take ‘Years of Consultation’ To Decide Whether To Follow God’s Word

How wishy-washy can Fuller Seminary get?!
Fuller Seminary is a well-known theological school with campuses in California, Texas, and Arizona, and it advertises itself as an evangelical graduate institution with “roots in orthodoxy.” Well, recently, the Fuller Seminary president, in a letter about sexual morality, sexual perversions against God and nature, and what constitutes marriage issues, stated:
After several years of consultation, feedback, and dialogue, the Board of Trustees reconfirmed the institution’s commitment to its historic theological understanding of marriage and human sexuality—a union between a man and a woman and sexual intimacy within the context of that union. At the same time, we acknowledge that faithful Christians—through prayerful study, spiritual discernment, and lived experience—have come to affirm other covenantal forms of relationship.
I have a question for this seminary president: Why did it take several years of “consultation, feedback, and dialogue” to make a statement on marriage and human sexuality? All they had to do was read and believe God’s Word:
Genesis 1:27 reads, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
Genesis 2:24–25 details, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.”
And see the words of Jesus Christ as the God-man when asked about marriage: “He answered, ‘Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?’” (Matthew 19:4–5)
There—that only took me a couple of minutes, and I know for sure, as this is God’s Word, that there are only two genders and only one definition of marriage. Since God created marriage, he defines what it is—and it is one man for one woman.
What about the rest of their statement concerning “faithful Christians” who “affirm other covenantal forms of relationship”?
Maybe you’ve heard the phrase “run with the hare and hunt with the hounds.” I asked AI what that idiom means: “The idiom ‘to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds’ means to be on good terms with, or to support both sides in a conflict or argument, often in order to avoid making enemies or being unpopular. It suggests a person is trying to be agreeable to everyone, regardless of their stance on an issue.”
Yes, that is so typical of many seminaries, Bible colleges, Christian colleges and universities, and churches today. Rather than fearing God, they fear man and try to appease everyone (and in the process they appease no one and certainly don’t please the Lord!).
We need to take a bold stand on God’s Word beginning in Genesis and challenge the church and culture—not bend our stand on God’s Word to fit with the culture and compromising Christians.
