Bethel apologized and it was amazing

This is a test not an end

What happened so far

Kris Vallotton's terrible video

Dan Farrelly's apology

The presence of women as the primary witnesses to the empty tomb was an embarrassment to the early church in first-century culture, where women's testimony was widely discredited. What was a liability then is actually strong evidence for historical reliability now — people don't fabricate stories that hurt their own credibility.

The criterion of embarrassment and the women witnesses; Celsius's criticism

Dr. Corey Miller (president of Ratio Christi) argues that what happens in universities does not stay there — it flows into culture, politics, media, and the church. Christians have largely abandoned the universities to secular and post-modern ideological capture, just as the left deliberately targeted them as "the apex of education" upstream of all cultural change.

The university as the strategic apex of cultural change; Christians must re-engage

Miller describes what happens to Christian students at secular universities: the combination of social pressure (frat culture, peers) and intellectual indoctrination (Nietzsche, Freud, Darwin) across all departments erodes faith. Real believers don't technically "lose" their faith but are beaten down to the point where their belief has no practical effect — "the heart cannot embrace what the mind cannot believe."

How universities erode Christian faith through combined social and intellectual pressure

The ratio of liberal to conservative professors is 12:1 for those retiring, 23:1 for newly tenured faculty, and 99:1 at Harvard in some departments. 18-24% of social science professors explicitly identify as Marxist, activist, or radical. This is not viewpoint diversity — it is an ideological monoculture, and sending unprepared Christian students into it is, as Miller says, "paying for the apostasy of your own children."
