Will Justin Bieber Now Pick The Pockets Of Deluded Christians?
To What Extent Should Wheaton Punish An Apostate Graduate?
In opposition to Rob Bell's support of homosexuality, the hosts of Generation's Radio suggested that Wheaton College (the school from which Bell graduated) should do more than simply stop selling the apostate's works in the campus bookstore.
Instead, the university should revoke Bell's degree and hold a book burning.
Is that the direction American's ought to take cultural disagreement in this country?
Should similar policies also be applied to those holding to explicitly conservative religious positions?
For example, the host Kevin Swanson holds a degree in engineering from a secular university.
Should it be revoked not for reasons of academic corruption but rather on the grounds of his opposition to wanton debaucheries such as gay marriage or upholding orthodox Christian belief such as those pertaining to the divinity of Christ?

Southern Baptist Functionary Lays Claim To Your Extraneous Income
The justification for this principle can be found in the admonition that godliness with contentment is great gain.
Interestingly, Platt is not providing this advice so that you might provide better for yourself in the rocky times ahead likely to result from a declining economy.
Instead, you are expected to give the abundance away (no doubt towards programs from which Pratt's own bottom line will ultimately benefit).
Perhaps the first extraneous expenditure Christians ought to eliminate from their budget should be the purchase of any books published by Pastor Platt.
Secondly, if we are to live our lives in a hyper-Biblical fashion, perhaps Christians should cut donations to Christian organizational bodies found nowhere in Scripture.
The first of these coming to mind might be none other than the International Missions Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Scott Walker holds no office in any church exercising ecclesiological authority or oversight over Barack Obama.
Nor does Scott Walker exhibit any signs that this perceptual thread in his comprehensive epistemic web will prompt him towards any act of violence.
