Two things:
1) Congratulations to the school for standing on solid, moral, principle.
2) A BS article in that the liberal writer doesn't understand that the child can not have two parents of the same sex. The writer must understand that the child would not have been born with "parents" such as this.
We must remember to lover the sinner (all of us) but not endorse and/or condone the sin...
Love ya, Grig. But my first instinct is to protect the other children.
Depends on what the definition of "is" is...
Phillipians 4:8-9: 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 4:
1Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"[a]made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
7But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. 12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
13It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken."[b]With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, 14because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. 15All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Gonna answer my post #33?
I did answer the question, though, that you were attmepting to pose...
The school is part of the church, and a family is a family... with mom and DAD, to them! the Homosexuals are living in open sin. Their children are exposed to that. The church cannot take the children away, nor can they allow their students to question the church's authority. Rules are there, which they feel are Scripturally based. Do you have a problem with Scripture?
Do you think we are supposed to spend our time in bars, and brothels, or with our brothers and sisters, in Christ? Should we ignore the open sinners, or give them our approval, tacitly? What does the Bible say?
Nobody has answered my QUESTION about why two dykes, together for 22 yrs, have 3 DAUGHTERS, under 22 YO? I find that totally against all wisdom and propriety! NAWGA?
Punishing a girl for her parents' sins? That is not very Christian to me.
Yeah... The pastor at the church that I used to go to thought similarly. He was all for actively homosexual pastors. Of course he did not believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. He also did not believe that God was love. He believes that love is what society defines it at the moment.
He used to get really upset when people would rely on God's Word rather than what he said was right. Many people leave that church once they grow as Christians.
Paul never met Jesus. I read and try to follow the words of Christ, not Paul.
Well, since you called me a bunch of names I'll have to change my thinking until you stop calling me names! LOL!!! Liberal tactics at their best!
One good piece of evidence that they are *not* Christians, thereby making your application of Paul's instructions to the Corinthians erroneous.
Do you think we are supposed to spend our time in bars, and brothels, or with our brothers and sisters, in Christ?
I was not aware that bars & brothels were part of this 'Christian school.'
Should we ignore the open sinners, or give them our approval, tacitly? What does the Bible say?
We should teach the truth. In this case, the girl should be taught that her "parents" are lost sinners in rebellion against God.
>>I believe in my faith<<
Which evidently is not rooted in the Word of God. Feel good sentimentalism is not faith, ma'am. Rejecting sin, exposing the works of Satan, and clinging to Christ for salvation is.
>>I do not want to get into a theological discussion with you.<<
The Bible also instructs us to be prepared to give an account to what we believe and why. Please, defend your beliefs.
Seems a bit hypocritical, considering all the gay priests.
Acts 9:1ff-
1Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest 2and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5"Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked.
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. 6"Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
7The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
10In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, "Ananias!"
"Yes, Lord," he answered.
11The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."
13"Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem. 14And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."
15But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. 16I will show him how much he must suffer for my name."
17Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." 18Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, 19and after taking some food, he regained his strength.
Hmmmmmmm....... I don't know what you've been readin'!
The article says they have been together for 22 years...not that they are 22 years old.
While Jesus was alive? Did he ever hear him preach? Dis he spend any time with him other than this minute long conversation in a 'vision'?
The article refers to three children, one of which is 14, and is no longer allowed in the school.
Clark and her partner have been together 22 years and have two other daughters, ages 9 and 19.
Read, and question it, with me...
You are showing the most extreme example of ignorance, I have ever seen displayed. Do you know nothing about the early church? Do you not have an understanding of who wrote the Scriptures, and why?
Paul is credited with writing more words in the Bible, than any other writer. His letters were written to the early Christians, spread through the new world, to correct matters of dispute, and heresy. He is not only the most prolific, he is considered the foremost AUTHORITY, on Jesus.
Maybe you ought to start with Matthew, and read through Revelations, then get back to me...
Sorry but to me that is false Christianity. I read Matthew Mark Luke and John. Thats it, no Paul.
