Name calling right off the bat. How Christian of you. But don't bother with the humor. The last thing I need tonight is a dose of your homophobic, holier-than-thou blather.
I don't care if this school bans the children of a homosexual. They're a private school and they are entitled to ban anyone they want for any reason or for no reason at all. But please don't try and wrap this in a veil of moral outrage when you outrage is highly selective. Jesus said those that divorce and remarry are committing adultery. Quibble all you want about the difference between Mark and Matthew about permissible divorce, the fact of the matter is that adultery is a sin, and those who divorce and remarry are living an adulterous lifestyle. But that's OK to the school, because there is sin they like and sin that they don't like. Homosexuality is sin that they don't like. A heterosexual could probably punt on 8 out of 10 commandments and as long as they kept the tuition checks rolling in their kid could remain a student in good standing. A homosexual could keep all 10 and their kid will get booted.
Either the school is serious about sin and morality or they are not. Either they look on all sin as wrong or they do not. Anything else is hypocrisy, and this school has that in abundance.
I pray that you'll learn from this, and that it will bring you closer to the Lord.
Save your prayers. I've had enough hypocrisy for one day.
>>Name calling right off the bat. How Christian of you.<<
I called you no such name. I said your response is typical of the pro-sodomite crowd. Those who defend sodomites. If you felt insulted by that because of some guilt by association, or if you identified with them, then that is something you need to work out, not me.
>>The last thing I need tonight is a dose of your homophobic, holier-than-thou blather.<<
Homophobic - I was waiting for that. It didn't take nearly as long as I thought.
And if you consider Biblical exegesis "blather", then you've got deeper issues than I previously thought.
>>I don't care if this school bans the children of a homosexual.<<
Yes, you do, or else you wouldn't be posting on this thread. This has struck a chord with you, for some yet-to-be-identified reason.
>>Jesus said those that divorce and remarry are committing adultery.<<
No, and again you take His sayings out of context. As I'm pressed for time, you can read Gill's commentary on that particular passage for a thorough explanation. Your attempts to use the Bible to trick Christians is pathetic, and you're displaying your utter lack of Biblical understanding.

>>Quibble all you want about the difference between Mark and Matthew about permissible divorce<<
You're the one with the issue over who's saying what. I'm content with what's written.
>>fact of the matter is that adultery is a sin,<<
Yep.
>>and those who divorce and remarry are living an adulterous lifestyle<<
Only if the divorce was for any reason other than fornication.
>>But that's OK to the school, because there is sin they like and sin that they don't like.<<
That's quite a serious charge you level against the school. How doyou know the school hasn't taken such measures with the children of divorced parents in the past?
>>Homosexuality is sin that they don't like.<<
I should hope so. I don't like it either.
>>A heterosexual could probably punt on 8 out of 10 commandments and as long as they kept the tuition checks rolling in their kid could remain a student in good standing. A homosexual could keep all 10 and their kid will get booted.<<
Again, how do you know any of this? This is one story that received media attention, and you've jumped to scores of conclusions regarding those "homophobes" at the school.
>>Either the school is serious about sin and morality or they are not. Either they look on all sin as wrong or they do not.<<
My guess is they do, or else we wouldn't be having this conversation. All sin, every single one of us, saved and unsaved alike. Sodomites, on the other hand, tend to have a very high-handed, "in-your-face" approach to their sin, and therefore make public the sins that are typically kept quiet.
The girl in question got in trouble for speaking to the crowd with another female friend. She didn't get in trouble for talking to one person, she was addressing the crowd. Now, what could she be saying to the crowd that would get her into so much trouble at a Christian school, considering the make-up of her home life? The article doesn't say, but if I were a bettin' man, I'd place some money on the fact that she was making statements very similar to yours, in defense of perversion.
Of course, I can't be sure. None of us can. But I have a feeling that if she was simply taking to the crowd about ice-cream cones or the latest trends in denim, no one would have made an issue.
>>Anything else is hypocrisy, and this school has that in abundance.<<
Now I see you've made a judgement as well.
>>Save your prayers.<<
Won't happen, friend.
>>I've had enough hypocrisy for one day.<<
Then turn to the Truth of the Living God. It's the only place you'll find complete honesty.
Jesus said that he who divorces for any reason other than adultery has sinned.
But the key difference you secularists pretend not to see is what you have already been told.
It is one thing to sin. It is a whole other thing entirely to set up a rival good to God's. It is one thing to sin and repent. It is a whole other thing entirely to say that evil is good.
Homosexuals are proclaiming that God's definition of wrong is to be ignored. It is not just sin. It is openly defiant rebellion against God. To tolerate sodomy is to say that God's definition of "abomination" is to be ignored and political correctness carries more weight than God's laws.
