Actual statements from Bible College Students...

One of the amusing twitter feeds I follow is @BibleStdntsSay

Here is the description followed by a few tweets to make my point about the amusement of subscribing to this twitter account.

Bible Students Say

I teach Biblical Studies for an undisclosed university. These are actual statments from assignments turned in by my students. They're...um..interesting ;)

"I believe N.T. Wright would make a better politician than a theologian. I think this is typical of a person who does not understand truth"

"The Bible must be taken 100% literally, even though there are instances where it has to be interpreted symbolically."

"Isaiah prophecies of a new heaven and a new earth. I believe he is talking about spending our eternal life in heaven"

"Do scientist, theologians and historians opinions and perspectives really matter when it comes to the Bible?"

"I believe myself to be of slightly above average intelligence but the highfalutin words & the general verbiage made this difficult to read"

"So many cultures, religions and countries undermine or subjugate women. I guess we can blame it modernity and feminism"

"Brueggemann stated that the Bible offends those who are liberals, this may be true but I'd rather not make this statement a political one"

Thank you Jesus, for the educational process. Glad there is a safe place to get all of that out of their systems!

I'm a "Bible College" student (although technically we're a Liberal Arts school, a step up! ;) ) and TRUST ME, this is completely accurate of things my peers say!

Heather, that's not exactly reassuring... Haha.
