Theology students are being warned in advance that they may see distressing images while studying the crucifixion of Jesus, giving them a chance to leave if they fear being upset. It is part of a trend at a number of universities for ‘trigger warnings’ issued by tutors to let students know about course content that might prove disturbing. Advocates say it helps to protect the mental health of vulnerable students.

The behavior of the priest on the Titanic comes to mind. He is shown bravely holding the hands of the doomed, praying with them and comforting them to the end. Wonder how a graduate and ordained cleric from one of these snowflake friendly institutions will behave in a similar situation. For that matter wonder how the officers and crew of a modern day Titanic would behave.
We did an inkling of that when that Carnival cruise ship sank off the Italian coast.
Wait till the snowflake students find out what the Romans did to the Jews after the “Roman Wars.”
The nuns who taught me in grade school apparently did not find it too upsetting for a six-year old.
Any theology student who can not grasp this, has no reason to study theology.
The little snowflakes think buying meat at the grocery store means no animals were harmed.
I wonder, are they going to teach this in that seminary?
MATTHEW 26:28
This is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and His people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.
Something is wrong with a person if a crucifixion is not distressing. Learning about distressing things is part of an education, starting at an early age with the topic appropriate to a person’s age level. If you are not capable of learning about something like the Crucifixion as a college student, perhaps you are not mature enough to be a college student.
Are they talking about showing a grisly video of a crucifixion? Or are we just talking about reading about it?
I’m not in favor of unnecessary grisly or violent movies/graphics. They pander to those who get off on violence.
A stumbling block to the Jews, a folly to the Gentiles, and a trigger to the snowflakes.
My how times have changed.
After watching Jesus of Nazereth for the first time at the age of 5 or 6 I never batted an eye during the torture scenes.
Heck it even inspired my friends and I to play “cross” and see who could hang on the longest (we didn’t use nails though).
The nuns who taught me in grade school apparently did not find it too upsetting for a six-year old.

Isn’t that the natural truth? One nun I had used to love reading Dante’s Inferno to us...with the graphic descriptions of hell.
Imagine how upset they’ll be when they wind up in Hell...
So I take it these students will also not be shown any pics of the Christian children being crucified by ISIS.
Can’t let reality intrude into their precious little lives, doncha know.
Deut 28:56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and sensitivity, will refuse[a] to the husband of her bosom, and to her son and her daughter, 57 her placenta which comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of everything in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.
Gone are the olden days of the 1950s when kids were exposed to checkout line tabloid magazines with headlines like..”I CUT OUT HER HEART AND ATE IT!” along with photos on the covers of the same things.
The photos inside were even worse! Car wrecks, burned bodies, bodies laying in pools of blood, train track suicides, photos of whole families slaughtered by hitchhikers.
When mom wasn’t looking we peeked inside those magazines. Got our little eyes full of blood and guts.
Make sure not to show them ISIS drowning men in cages in swimming pools, beheading a row of men, burning men, etc.
“Are they talking about showing a grisly video of a crucifixion? Or are we just talking about reading about it?”
Read about it in the Bible thousands of times and pondered its meaning, theologically, spiritually, intellectually.
Watched The Passion of the Christ, and sobbed and was truly shaken to the depths, especially by the scourging. Seeing it enacted onscreen was an emotional shock that brought it home and made my own sin and guilt more real, somehow.
That my Lord and Savior suffered this, for me...ah...
Like the driver’s ed films we had to watch in high school; those sure put the fear of God into us.
