I don’t agree that it should be called the ‘Fuller definition’. The only authority under which marriage should be defined by a Christian college is the Biblical definition. If God is not our ultimate authority why is the institution defined as ‘Christian’?

There’s a great movie called Time Changer from the 1990’s. If God is not our authority for not stealing, for example, we have no basis for anything the Bible teaches against. God is the One we answer to not other humans.

I was basing my comments on what the Fuller president said in his op-ed: “At the same time, we acknowledge that faithful Christians—through study, discernment, and lived experience—have come to different conclusions about covenantal relationships.”
