World's Largest Baptist University Drops 'Homosexual Acts' From Sexual Misconduct Code
Charisma News ^ | JON HERSKOVITZ

Posted on 07/08/2015 8:11:28 AM PDT by xzins

The world's largest Baptist university, Baylor, has dropped language in its sexual misconduct policy that punished those who engaged in homosexual acts, a change the socially conservative school said better reflects its values as "a caring community."

Baylor, in the central Texas city of Waco, had been one of a handful of religious U.S. colleges and universities that allowed for the dismissal of students, and sometimes staff, for homosexuality.

Baylor has removed "homosexual acts" as a punishable offense in its sexual misconduct policy, an official said on Tuesday. The policy also mandated disciplinary action for sexual assault, incest, adultery and fornication.

"These changes were made because we didn't believe the language reflected the university's caring community," Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman wrote in an email.

So, you can “fornicate” with your own sex, but not with the opposite now?

This is sooo bizarre.

Isaiah 5:20-23King James Version (KJV)

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him

I think it’s time to put The Bible on Wikipedia so anyone can go in and edit it as needed — (with appropriate supervision of course.)

And then incredibly STUPID “Christian” “Parents” “Wonder” just why after a couple of year in an “Apostate” outfit like Baylor why their spawn DUMP their faith. Apostate “Christian” Collages are LEGION throughout this land.

New Baylor Bible.....

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

That seemed odd to me as well, but it shows how blind people have come to the homosexual agenda.
