SORRY, CHRISTIANS: The Bible Fails ‘Inclusive Language’ Standards At Evangelical College
Eric Owens 03/17/2017
An evangelical Christian university in Minnesota is encouraging its professors to stop using words with masculine connotations — such as “man” and “mankind” — because those words aren’t sufficiently “inclusive.”
Bethel University in St. Paul is the school, reports Campus Reform.
The document asking faculty members to avoid using masculine terminology is entitled “Language is a Powerful Tool.”
“To be clear in our Christian witness, the Bethel faculty encourages the use of inclusive language,” the document explains.
Professors at 6,000-student Bethel University should “avoid using masculine terms to refer to people who may be either male or female.”
They should “employ inclusive language and images when speaking about or addressing human beings in academic work, public discourse, classroom discussion, college documents and publications and in worship experiences.”

How so so sad!!! I guess we are getting sooooooo many many more wolves in sheep clothing.....the world has taken over so much of the church and church doctrine now, it getting hard to find a true Bible based church or school..... This ridiculous inclusive language tripe is another gospel ....it is not THE gospel, but pushing crazy sins that will just hurt people....as it puts them on the path to hell, thinking their sins are to be honored. sad!

Sounds like these people are lost and pursuing another gospel.

Oh yes, the positive thinking gospel, where Christians need to be more positive, yet only about worldliness. Try to have biblical, spiritual conversation with these people and they'll have very few positive things to say, if any. Inclusivism and unity just sound so positive don't they? How clever satan is with these seductive words.
...And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. -1Corinthians 2:4-5

Wow the cost to stay there and learn, 46,550, who has that kind of money to do that. Some people must have a lot of money and nothing to do with it. I would say stay home and get some good Bible study books and keep the money.
