Official Statement on Dr. Dow Pursley
Dr. Dow Pursley is the Clinical Director of Counseling Programs at Baptist Bible Graduate School. We do not know the details of what occurred. While taking some personal time in Florida, he was apparently arrested. Dr. Pursley was not acting on behalf of Baptist Bible College & Seminary.
At BBGS, Dr. Pursley serves as a graduate-level professor and is Clinical Director of the Love-Life Marriage and Family Center. He is a dedicated man with strong beliefs and God-given convictions.

Mr. Jeffery ---
I am appalled at your response to the courage of Dr. Dow Pursley - "Dr. Pursley was not acting on behalf of Baptist Bible College & Seminary." Why does a supposed college whose mission statement includes "We Believe . . . In the verbal and plenary inspiration of the original manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments, which constitute the inerrant Word of God" have to distance itself from a staff member who is literally living the Scriptures?
For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink. Mat 25:42
They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'; He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' Mat 25:44-45
You should be applauding Dr. Pursley - not distancing yourselves from him. I was wondering how it could be that a majority of so-called evangelical Christians could support the starvation murder of this poor unfortunate woman. Now I know why - it comes from the cowardice of the seminaries. I will pray that the scales will be removed from your eyes and your heart. The time for political correctness is over - it's time for the "true" Christians, the Christians that "Believe . . . In the verbal and plenary inspiration of the original manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments, which constitute the inerrant Word of God." to come forward boldly and take a stand like Dr. Pursley.

Good one!I'd like to add,if I may.....
John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
