I am the first person who is completely blown away by the Grace of God. Can you point me scripturally where Jesus approached someone 7 times and asked them to go and sin no more? His message hasn't changed from generation to generation.
The one person (the rich man) who explained why he couldn't follow 'right now' never made the choice.
I'm not saying it's right to call people ugly names or throw them away. But I believe it's a mistake to misrepresent or misconstrue how Jesus approached sin and redemption. Paul was pretty harsh about it too.
When someone outside of the Christian Faith tries to manipulate Biblical principles (like these two women) it needs to be addressed, quickly and with grace and calm. If the situation changed, I'm sure the school would take the girl back on at least a probationary period.
I think that parents that send their kids to Christian Schools (or homeschool) get to decide as a family when and how to approach things that are outside of a Biblical family unit, not have it thrust on them by a couple with an agenda.

If the Lord Jesus himself approached me in the flesh with his saving power, then I would have to agree. But I was not witnessed to by Him, but by imperfect followers. It was a struggle for me to come to faith. It was warfare that people did on my behalf. I am sure that I heard the gospel many, many times before finally submitting to Him in desperation.
No, the message has not changed. Thank God for that. But it does sometimes take time...not immediate.
