include "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" in the district's nondiscrimination policy

So the Rev. Baity supports discrimination against gay students.

I wonder if Jesus Christ, who spent much of his time with the sick, the poor, prostitutes,criminals, drunkards and other outcasts, would take the same position?

Yes.

And if you need the quotes from Jesus or the Bible condemning homosexuality as evil, you aren't qualified to be posting about it. Look it up for yourself.

BTW, Jesus never condoned being a drunk, prostitute or criminal. Quite the opposite.

Reverend Baity is standing up for and speaking the truth, Wacky! Since homosexuality is a behavior, not a group "identity", and the behavior is not values neutral, and is condemned in every monotheistic religion in the world as unnatural, immoral, and medical science proves it is unhealthy and spreads all manner of disease, there is every reason not to promote it. Rather, it is is a kind and charitable act to call it what it is, and help young people avoid falling for the pro-homosexual propaganda.

When Jesus associated with the lowly, such as prostitutes and criminals, he told them to change their ways! And as far as the sick, he healed them in body and even more important, in spirit. As far as the poor, he told them to lay up riches in Heaven. I don't know why you're lumping "poor and sick" in with "prostitutes and criminals".

Jesus never tolerated sinful or immoral behavior. He told people to clean up their act, and to turn their love to God, and live a godly life.

It looks as though Rev. Baity is attempting to follow in Jesus Christ's footsteps, rather than offend him by promoting or "celebrating" immoral sex acts under the banner of "tolerance" like so many other CINO reverends and other members of the clergy (shall we say Episcopalian?).

Actually, no. He wouldn't Jesus would simply kill unrepentent homosexual students and be done with it.

Second coming/Sodom & Gomorrah ping.

Jesus did hang out with the above. But here you want to misdirect the discussion. For what did Jesus say to the Pharisees when they questioned him about with whom he ate?

Well?

Here, the synpotics tell us just what Jesus said in response. If you're not willing to click that link, I'll tell you what Jesus said. He said: It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. Yes, the sick. Jesus compared sinners to the sick, those who needed help, yet here you are apparently trying to say something else, contradicting what Jesus said.

"So the Rev. Baity supports discrimination against gay students."

Ahh. Social liberal. Shilling for the homosexual agenda by implying it is noble and straightforward... the opposite of what it is. It has nothing to do with fairness, and everyone on FR knows it.

Your are a Wacky Kat....

JC had some political position and paid the price. Besides, homosexuality is a mental disorder Wacky Kat and Rev. Baity has guts to speak the truth..

Rome allowed conquered people to keep their Gods and their customs. So who did JC upset so much and why?

The Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) with their "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" policy would have never survived in this time period.

How did he support discrimination against gay students?

I wonder if Jesus Christ, who spent much of his time with the sick, the poor, prostitutes,criminals, drunkards and other outcasts, would take the same position?

He spent his time healing and helping them, not rejecting the idea that they need help.

True compassion for homosexuals demands they receive treatment, not tolerance.

Shalom.

Surely Jesus Christ would not be in favor of the homosexual lifestyle being legitimized. Homosexuals need to be forgiven (just like everyone else), not told that they are a special group with a normative lifestyle.
