A Christian school in Searcy, AR expelled two homosexual students b/c they refused to get counseling for their lifestyle. I have to wonder however, how long will it be before the Feds snatch away their funding/accreditation unless they re-admit them.

THREE WEEKS before the end of the school year?? What is this, the school punishing the kid for the sins of the mother?

They could have waited until the end of the school year, FOR THE LITTLE GIRL'S SAKE. Sheesh. California: it's always either one extreme or the other. No in between.

bump .... have to think about that one as it puts my love of privacy and liberty right up against Christian beliefs.

I'm inclined to side against the school though. Jesus was pretty hard on the institutions of the day.

Now it dawns on her . . .

He promised that if Silvas quit her job, he and the church would forgive her...

There's someone in the Bible who said, "Only God can forgive sins". Hum.......Yea, Jesus said that.

It's a private school, with a contract between the mom & the school.

It's none of anyone's business.

Boy that "Christian" school sure showed that little girl! That will teach her to pick a Mom who strips. She should have played it safe and picked a welfare Mom.....

So the lawsuits begin, I assume.

I understand the Christian school being concerned about the kind of 'information' this woman's daughter might be sharing with her classmates. Nevertheless, as long as there aren't any problems, I think a Christian environment at least during school hours might overcome some of the affect of the mother's lifestyle choices. They should have let her stay.

This issue of whether Jesus would have let the daughter finish school with her mom being a sinner is being misportrayed.

The mom was given a choice to repent, quit skanking around the juice bar setting a bad example for her daughter a find a job with the help of the church and a tuition waiver.

Becuase she still wants the money she refuses and so the church expels the daughter from school

Forgiveness has been offered and spat upon with the leaking to the press.

"I thought the church was supposed to accept everybody," she said. "That's my understanding of what God is about. "

A lot of people believe this. But few use scripture to back up their belief.

"I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to tell her," she said.

Hm. Let's help her out.

"Honey, Mommy's a cheap tramp who makes money by stirring up wild, intense desires in men that are wrong, and that she has no intention of fulfilling. Mommy has men look at her naked, like she tells you never to do. Mommy lied to the school, and is now acting shocked because they think she shouldn't have."

Would that work?

"rigid and unforgiving"

What part of when Jesus forgave the whore and said GO IN SIN NO MORE did Ms. Silvas not understand? Forgiveness did not come without some part of responsibility on the part of the forgiven to not keep sinning. I have to support the schools decision. If it had no standard for enrollment for both parents and children it would be a public school. I notice she said part of the reason she took the job was to pay for tuition, I dare say it would be better for her child to be in a public school with a good example of a mother, than in a Christian school with a mother who directly defies God's word daily. My guess is this is the "next level" for Ms. Silvas. I am willing to bet my bottom dollar this has been an ongoing discussion of she must change her lifestyle or face consequences and now it looks sudden but is in fact not.

She's a prostitute. Being the daughter of a prostitute shouldn't be that easy and comfortable, except maybe in Denmark.
