Ball for playing basketball and net on table against dark background

Oak Hills Christian College (OHCC) has its campus just outside Bemidji, Minnesota. The small evangelical college was started in 1927 and in 2018 had only 108 students in its Bachelor of Arts and Bible certificate program.

Despite its small size, the college’s basketball team plays in the Northern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and recently lost 108 to 14 against North Dakota State University, which has a student population of over 12,000.

So the loss wasn’t all that surprising.

In fact, OHCC had only scored six points by halftime.

But what happened next reveals that times are changing for Christians, and we need to brace ourselves for what lies ahead.

Most of those following the game would be Gen Z, those who range in age from early teens to mid to late twenties.

They represent the next generation of responsible adults, managers, bureaucrats, business owners, teachers, politicians, and the like.

After the trouncing, Fox News reports that the insults against OHCC started on social media because, like most Christian colleges, it has standards involving sexual immorality which prohibits sex outside of marriage and also homosexuality.

Of course, many focussed on the school’s prohibition against homosexuality which was reported by Wikipedia, and took to X, formerly called Twitter, to mock OHCC.

Fox News provided a sampling of comments posted after the loss:

Here’s the thing: Oak Hills Christian is a homophobic institution that was granted a Title IX exemption to be allowed to discriminate against homosexual students. I wish they lost by more.

“Should’ve run the score up worse tbh.”

“i almost felt bad until i looked up the school,” one more person wrote.”

Certainly, not everyone was doing this, and not all the negative comments were necessarily by Gen Z, but many were condemning the Christian school and its policies.

Sadly, this falls in line with a recent poll that revealed something quite disturbing about Gen Z, that even shocked the pollsters.

A recent poll of Americans found that a shocking percentage of Gen Z believe that the holocaust, which saw six million Jews slaughtered in Nazi concentration camps, was a myth, the Western Journal reports.

Here is how those aged 18 to 29 responded when asked if they believed that the Jewish genocide of the last century was a myth:

  • 20% believed or tended to believe that the Holocaust is a myth. In other words, one in five Gen Z believe that the extermination of six million Jews in Nazi concentration is made up;
  • The number climbs to nearly 25% or one in four when you add in those who believe the number of those killed in the Jewish genocide was exaggerated;
  • Another 30% neither agreed nor disagreed with the statement that the Holocaust was a myth. They represent the significant percentage of Gen Zs who will go with the prevailing crowd;
  • Barely half of Gen Z (51%) believed or tended to believe that the Holocaust was NOT a myth; and
  • A further 28% of Gen Z believe the Jews have too much power in the US.

Of course, much of this is taking place because of what is happening in radicalized American universities.

Times are changing for both Christians and Jews, and we need to prepare ourselves.
