I can certainly appreciate that position. I just wonder if it might be more important to shape her spirit in a Christian way and create a strong bond with a loving church community.

Paul wrote this to the Corinthian church... it still applies:

I Cor 5: 1ff- 1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife. 2And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this? 3Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present. 4When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature[a] may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord...

...9I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

12What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."[b]

New International Version (c) Zondervan.

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.

Read between the lines. 2 lesbians send 'daughter' to a Christian school.

IMHO, this was a planted contrived conflict by homosexuals seeking to sensationalize or to contrive a lawsuit.

Going to the school will not save the girl's soul, but the honest response of the school might place an indelible mark of righteous behavior upon her soul when she comes to a decision point where she needs something worthy of faith.

If she is under the impression her parents are faithful, she'll have to discern between Scripture and their action in sending her to the Christian school originally as opposed to their behavior in disobedience to Scripture.

No- this is just the gay agenda storming the gates ...they can not stand the fact that some people refuse to accept their lifestyle as wholesome...etc...they don't want tolerance but complete acceptance. I say no...if parents are not following the teaching of Christianity then a Christian school has the right to refuse to accept their children.

Mom, I understand your point...I do. Gods grace is bigger than a private school (where most of the time the Christian witness is lacking). Lets pray that she gets plugged into a "good", Bible believing church where she will be loved and cultivated into a fine young Christian lady. One of the hardest lessons Ive had to learn is that people (who have been created in the image of God) will almost ALWAYS let you down. If she is a Christian already, she should already know to focus on what Christ has done and is doing and not what man has done and is doing.
