Underground gay group emerges, shaking evangelical Christian college“We want to bring to light the presence of the LGBTQ community at Biola. Despite what some may assume, there are Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender, and Queers at Biola. We are Biola’s students, alumni, employees, and fellow followers of Christ. We want to be treated with equality and respected as another facet of Biola’s diversity.”

NewLast Days? For real?
NewIMO Biola's response was spot on.

My question for Biola is this: Is there any other sin that a group on campus can build an underground movement around that insists on “conversation” and will be tolerated by the administration? If not, why is this group different?
Does 1 Cor 5:6 apply only to churches, and not Christian colleges?

That “struggling” terminology can encompass a whole lot of sin. If you are “good enough at repenting” a lot of evangelicals will let you wear the “struggling” mantle for a long time while continuing in direct rebellion against God. That was the case with this sin at Biola back in the early 80s. I doubt it has improved much since then.
The “conversation” terminology from Biola is pathetic, but not surprising. We don’t need to be talking to each other, we need to be listening to what God says. These people are not merely asking for charitable attitudes towards their struggles and hurts, they are asking for acceptance of sin. You don’t have a “conversation” about that.

Only those who do not really wish to repent, will continue to entertain sin, or excuse their actions.
If with Christ, we have died to sin, then sin no longer has the power to dominate us. Christ has freed us from the power of sin, and made us free. Sure, we can be tempted, and may sometimes commit sins, but if we practice sin, then we have not really been born of God. Everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning.
I see these events at Biola, as an attack from Satan. It is Satan’s practice, to cause division and controversy, and to use unbelievers’ false cries for help and pity, to make us tolerant of sin.
