(AgapePress) - A conservative black pastor and alumnus of Michigan State University (MSU) is condemning his alma mater's decision to provide a scholarship for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans-gender students of color."

The new scholarship for black homosexual activists will be available next spring and administered by the school's Office of Financial Aid and Office of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans-gender) Concerns. It was warmly welcomed by such campus groups as the MSU Same Gender Loving Students of Color, Internationals, and Allies and the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Trans-gender Faculty, Staff, and Graduate Student Association.

Bishop Ira Combs, Jr., of Jackson, who attended Michigan State, calls the scholarship "nonsense." According to Combs, it is just another attempt by homosexual organizations and other liberal groups to redefine American culture by eliminating moral boundaries.

"The only one that probably will be able to stop them in the end will be God, because they will not be stopped; they will always try to find other ways to push and promote their immoral agenda," he says. "It's unfortunate that the university has embraced this corrupt ideology and has not taken a stand for traditional values."

Combs, the founder and pastor of the Greater Bible Way Temple and an ordained elder of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc., is confident of ultimate victory over those who are pushing that immoral agenda.

"This is an attack by individuals who are secularist, humanist, socialist, communist and [who] embrace all of these particular philosophical doctrines to try eradicate from within -- and we have to continue to fight to prevent them from doing this. And we shall and will do so," he says. "In the end, we shall prevail."

Combs says the support for homosexual activism at MSU is nothing new to higher education. For years, he says, homosexual activists have been pooling their resources in order to proliferate their agenda on university campuses.
