doesn't stop you from presenting yourself as a greater authority than Paul

Baloney!
In other words, you can't refute anything I've said.

passing judgment on Christians who are much more "Biblical guys" than you are

I see...it's ok to pass judgement on an innocent child, but don't point out the hypocrisy of those who judge!

unrepentent sin

What about the sin of rejecting an innocent child?

then you also criticize Jesus Himself for the same thing. For He commands us to put Him above all others, including our parents

Are you telling me Jesus commands you to punish a child for the sin of the parent?

By her own public statement, quoted in the article, Shay Clark does not place Jesus above her "parents.'"

Do you?

The school is adhering strictly to the teachings and example of Jesus and his apostles.

Sounds like Islam!

Well, radioman, Jesus, Who is God, Who has been here since the foundation, and Who has always been with the Father, expelled our parents, Adam and Even, from the paradise of the garden and punished all the generations for their original sin. So what do you think the answer to your question is?

Oh, my, my, my. Adhering strictly to one's principles puts one in league with Islamics?

Some people might think you need rest.

What a lame strawman. The child is being 'hurt' due to the dishonest actions of her alledged 'parents', plain and simple. They sought to use this as a wedge issue to force a Christian Church to condone homosexual behavior. They used this girl as a pawn in their little game. So who's punishing/hurting who? Behavior has consequences and these 'parent's' actions have cause this to occur.

This isn't about religion, despite what the other posters say.

If you don't like the answer I gave you in post 272, maybe we can take things one step further...

The Father punished the blameless Son for our sins so that we might escape our richly deserved punishment and He did so with the full cooperation of the Son.

How is that, radioman?

It's all about balancing justice with mercy.

The court sends the murdering family man to prison and his child is now without a source of support. It's too bad, but if he isn't sent to prison, murder goes unpunished.

Just as God balances His perfect justice with His perfect mercy, we must balance our imperfect justice with our imperfect mercy.
