No, you are full of standards. God values forgivness. That is His standard. He championed that and this school from hell rejected it.

We agree; but to be complete, we have to say that God also values repentence. Jesus was kind to those who acknowledged their sins, and very harsh on those who would not do so.

If we go by the example of what Jesus said to the thief on the cross, forgiveness comes to those who recognize that they need it.

The school probably knows more about this lady than we do, so I'm not necessarily ready to condemn them for their actions; I have a sense that she's much better off away from them, however.

I'm more interested by what's on display on this thread.... those who clearly reject the path of forgiveness, on the assumption that they know the facts well enough to conclude that she's an unrepentent sinner (based on a news article, no less).

"Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."

"...we have to say that God also values repentence."

That's correct. That is between her and God though.

"Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."
