10 Reasons for Practicing Muslims to Enroll at SWBTS

In honor of today's Southern Baptist Convention's Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary report and what will be President Paige Patterson's apology for admitting a practicing Muslim at the seminary - in violation of the school's Charter and Consitution, not to mention the sacred Scriptures which require a professing CHRISTIAN to be able to minister the Gospel effectively - I thought I'd give 10 Reasons for Practicing Muslims to Enroll at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to illustrate the absolute absurdity of what the school and President have done in admitting a practicing Muslim. 

If you are unfamiliar with the news of a Muslim student being allowed entry into the Southern Baptist premier theological seminary, I would encourage you to read the multiple articles I've written against such a practice. What has been written has been picked up by national media and have led us to where we are today. 

It's difficult for people to speak truth to power. I was the first to write about this issue, and I've continued to press, even when others thought admitting a Muslim at SWBTS was for "evangelism" - that is, in hopes of "winning the student to Christ." 

I'm not afraid to point out the error of such thinking. It's wrong for any of our seminaries - no matter the personal power the Presidents believe they have - to admit a Muslim into their schools. 

You won't understand my sarcasm below until you have the background by reading these stories.

The Underlying Problems with Educating Muslims at SWBTS

Now, you are prepared to understand: The Top 10 Reasons for Practicing Muslims to Enroll at SWBTS (sarcastic):

1). You will be given your own private room so nobody will be offended by your prayer life or you theirs.

2). You will be allowed to smoke tobacco, just as long as you don't do it in front of administration and as long as you will allow the administration to pretend you always abide by 'the moral code' (for the record, many of us believe the administration's moral code against 'smoking' is puerile).

3). You will be given an on-campus job at the seminary, working among other evangelical pastors in need of work as well. The seminary does a good job providing for their own.

4). You will not have to listen to long introductions or stories from missionaries about their work in foreign lands as you sit among them at Prayer Breakfasts. They will, of course, be kind and personal with you (as they always are), just not reciprocal in sharing their own stories.

5). You can obtain the most inexpensive accredited Ph.D. in theology with an emphasis in 'archaeology' on the continent of North America, funded by Southern Baptists.

6). You won't have to attend all the required seminary chapels or be expected to share your faith during the week.

7). You will join other 'cousins' attending SWBTS who believe something other than what the administration deems the truth.

8). You will never have to worry about being picked to speak at the Southern Baptist Convention on the advantages of obtaining an SBC seminary degree.

9). You will leave SWBTS with a working, intimate knowledge of SBC mission work around the world.

10). You can put on your 'resume' - Ph.D. Southwestern Theological Baptist Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas, and be denied employment in every Sharia Law country and then request asylum in the US and help your fellow cousins as they build mosques on US soil.
