1) None of my comments related to dress code, per the verses you quote. Other's have. Please address your comments to them.

2) Had they made rules against drunkeness, not posession of alcohol, I would not be critical as it is consistent with the scripture on which they base their institution.

3) I stand by my comments as they point out that the attitudes of the school authorities (especially with regard to alcohol) seem to have more in common with the teaching and traditions of the Pharisees, rather than the teachings and life of Christ.

4) How will students learn to lives lives controlled by the spirit, rather than controlled by man-made rules and regulations? See the post about the students doing shots in bars after graduation. Their time under strict regulation has led to rebellion, not maturity.

5) All of these students are well above the bar-mitzvah age where they would be considered responsible adults.

Their time under strict regulation has led to rebellion, not maturity.

I would disagree. It wasn't the "strict regulation" that made them alcohol imbibers, it was the unchristly condition of their hearts that lead them to the bar scene.

I would say that after 4 years of LU, they simply didn't want to pretend to be christians anymore. They were just showing the true selves that they hid from the LU administration.

So they are of age to be responsible adults, yet they are rebelling? Sounds like they never grew up.

If they are adults and they are choosing where to go to school. And they choose Liberty in part because of the environment. Then they are not likely to be rebelling.

If they are "being sent" to liberty because they never grew up and their parents are trying to put them in a protective environment. Then that may very well lead to rebellion. But I saw an awful lot of rebellion at Louisiana State and there were no rules. So I don't think I would fault the parents, unless the continued immaturity was their fault.
