Yeah, right. Like being a conservative christian makes you any less apt to be a homosexual. Just ask a priest.

You obviously took that statement the wrong way, and then confirmed your ignorance with your last sentence.

Probably we should change the law so that children with Christian parents can't go to public school.

the funny thing about all these hardcore Christians is their complete intolerance of those who do not follow their beliefs, which is the EXACT opposite message of what Jesus Christ preached.

Christianity is a cult that grew around Jesus' name, and has little if nothing to do with what Jesus taught.

That is certainly what all the cults say that will gladly straighten you our on what He really did teach.

I agree.

I agree.

That's kind of pointless argument since the OP wasn't actually questioning the legality of the action, just the moral disparity between the policy of the school and their proclaimed faith. Hence the subtitle, which I agree with.

As long as they don't receive government money, it's their business.

Also, the Constitution says that I have the "right" to say "fvck them"...so say I.

True, I will give you that.

I didn't want to take this into too much of a theological debate but you are correct on OT law vs NT.

Is there a standing order now to punish sinners? Of course not. Were there times that God used people as a method of punishment? Yes.

God used people as a method of punishment? What's that supposed to mean?

This is, of course, why He said He's be back.

I'm familar with Christian School policies - a lot of them have that type of clause. If parents ran a liqour store, or strip club their kids would no longer be allowed to attend. Also if the parents were not married, and living togather, they would also be in violation of the policy, and their kids would no longer be allowed to attend.

Being black is not a lifestyle....

You are wrong. What Jesus said is "You are forgiven go and sin no more.

Jesus never said. "OK, do whatever you want" You may agree or disagree, but Jesus never said "go and sin on more".

Who did jesus say should be throwing the first stone?

Why don't we look and see what that was about?

8:1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
8:2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple,
and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them.
8:3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery.
Having set her in the midst,
8:4 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
8:5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such.
What then do you say about her?"
8:6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of.
But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
8:7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them,
"He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
8:8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
8:9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience,
went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last.
Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
8:10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said,
"Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"
8:11 She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said,
"Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."

He did not condemn her, but neither did endorse her behavior. He didn't say "Keep it up".

Cool they just helped that kid learn to "Honor thy father and mother" even if the case just has mother 😉

Have to agree on this one. It's a private school. It's a ridiculous and narrow-minded decision by the school but it's up to them to decide their admission standards.

yup

My point is that there is a great deal of misunderstanding on both sides. Whatever Jesus found immoral, he didn't tolerate. What was Jesus's POV on this? I don't know. I do know that Jesus wasn't supposed to be Santa.

Hell, "Blessed are the meek", he even liked us LIBERALS!

Good question.

Ask the "muscular" Christians who kill and exclude in his name.

Expelling the student is an excellent example of how some Christians think it is their job to punish.
This action is not supported in the Bible and reflects badly on all Christians.
Jesus would not have expelled this child.

 

[jjzelinski]

Actiing as Christ would and acting in Christs name are to entirely different things, as is demonstrated by many, many Christians.

 

[db]

And even though these folks do not represent all Christians, nevertheless, most people will see it that way. That's why true Christians must speak out to those who do these things.

I disagree, in fact this is a case of walking the walk. It's their belief that homosexuality is a major sin and they are just adhering to their beliefs. As a private institution based on religious beliefs I can fully understand why they would do this.

They do have a legal right to do this. But in my eyes, as a Christian, I don't think it's right morally. WWJD? Turn the girl away? No. I don't think He turned anyone away, much less an innocent child. Homosexuality is as sinful as pre-marital heterosexuality. And all of us are sinners.

They like to make homosexuality a "hardcore" sin because it's one sin most don't have to worry about comitting.

Nicely put. Jesus didn't preach to the choir, he hung out with the scum of society. The sick are the ones in need of a doctor, not the healthy. IMHO being a school brings an interesting dynamic to it. I don't believe a church (Christian) should ever turn away people , however at a school kids are a lot more succeptable to the worlds ways. Perhaps it would have been a great opportunity to reach this childs 'parents'.
