FSU Professor Reinstated after “Jesus” Stomping Exercise!

Florida State University recently received some unwanted negative publicity when one of their professors “Deondre Poole” conducted a controversial and highly offensive experiment in his class. Ryan Rotela was one of 24 students instructed by Poole to write the name of Jesus on a sheet of paper in bold letters – Place the Paper on the floor – and finally stamp on it! Ryan refused, stating that he would not desecrate the name of Jesus!

Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

After voicing his opposition to his professor and later to school officials, Ryan found himself suspended from school. After this story was published, public outcry was so great that Ryan Rotela’s suspension was lifted and Professor Poole found himself on the receiving end of reprimand. The outry and protest escalated to the point where Poole was placed on Academic leave for his own protection.

In an interview with professor Poole shortly after his reinstatement he stated that the exercise was meant only as a demonstration of the power of symbols. Poole went on to say that he himself is a Christian. If he were a true Christian, Professor Poole would have been well aware that Jesus is “NOT” a symbol, he is the only begotten of the Father and our Lord and Savior!

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Phillipians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

After reviewing Pooles case the academic board of Florida State University claimed that suspending Poole would be a violation of academic freedom and has cleared him of all wrongdoing. Although Professor Poole received a measure of vindication from FSU, he should be more concerned about making amends to the Heavenly Father and repenting of the blasphemy he orchestrated against the Lord!

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
