SCANDAL: Oral sex At Oral Roberts University?

Who's sorry now?

That would be the CFO at evangelical Oral Roberts University, as the latest "family values"/"Christian Right" scandal unfolds. Why? Because there goes the donation money.

John Hagee, a member of the ORU board of regents, said the university's executive board "is conducting a full and thorough investigation." Colleagues fear for the reputation of the university and the future of the Roberts' ministry, which grew from Southern tent revivals to one of the most successful evangelical empires in the country, hauling in tens of millions of dollars in contributions a year. The university reported nearly $76 million in revenue in 2005, according to the IRS.
This could get juicy, folks. Is Mrs. Roberts really Mrs. Robinson? Is the First Lady of Oral University engaging in oral sex with underage males????? This is the wrap up of what's being talked about so far....

• A longtime maintenance employee was fired so that an underage male friend of Mrs. Roberts could have his position.

• Mrs. Roberts - who is a member of the board of regents and is referred to as ORU's "first lady" on the university's Web site - frequently had cell-phone bills of more than $800 per month, with hundreds of text messages sent between 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. to "underage males who had been provided phones at university expense."

• The university jet was used to take one daughter and several friends on a senior trip to Orlando, Fla., and the Bahamas. The $29,411 trip was billed to the ministry as an "evangelistic function of the president."

• Mrs. Roberts spent more than $39,000 at one Chico's clothing store alone in less than a year, and had other accounts in Texas and California. She also repeatedly said, "As long as I wear it once on TV, we can charge it off." The document cites inconsistencies in clothing purchases and actual usage on TV.

• Mrs. Roberts was given a white Lexus SUV and a red Mercedes convertible by ministry donors.

• University and ministry employees are regularly summoned to the Roberts' home to do the daughters' homework.

• The university and ministry maintain a stable of horses for exclusive use by the Roberts' children.

• The Roberts' home has been remodeled 11 times in the past 14 years.

The simplest definition. I could think of in hopes you might understand it is...

To be evangelical would mean to be merely Christian, that is, founded upon, motivated by, acting in agreement with, spreading the "good news" message of the New Testament of the Holy Bible.

Evangelicalism

I don't approve of them, for reasons mentioned in the article.

Jesus told his disciples they had to give up everything they owned to follow him. He would make them fishers of men. When they went out to spread as message, Jesus and his disciples didn't do it riding around in an expensive limo or flying around the countryside first class in an airplane or sleeping in expensive 5 star hotel rooms being catering on hand and feet wearing $3000.00 designer Italian suits. Knowing full well there are less fortunate (homeless, sick and starving people) in the world.

Actually,

They do follow Christ, but not the same way that the Catholics follow Him. For evangelicals everything has to be black or white, good or bad, saintly or evil. This is why much of Bush's message is presented in this format. Bush once said, "Either you're with us, or you're with the terrorists." This is the type of mindset they are most comfortable with. It isn't possible, from their point of view, to be against the illegal invasion of Iraq and yet also be against terrorism.
