Nah, but it's always best to consult them when you discover you've been set up by homosexual dogs.
The Parable of the Running Father...I love it.
I disagree with your postmodernist view.
Seems to apply here then, doesn't it?
In this particular case, with this particular kid, it does.
My point, however, as both of us have stated, is that "It depends on the kid". It should not be an "automatic" based solely on the parents.
And they made it sound as if the school was skulking around: As the family gathered outside the school for a news conference Friday, students and staff peered at the scene out of the windows.
Fine-- then change the school's conditions of enrollment. Hello???
And it further points out that He associated with them to teach them, convert them, and turn them from their wicked ways.
Well, DJ, you know how we religious types love to peer out windows at scarlet letters we embroider on sinners...
Yup. The kid had given up his lifestyle to come to the Father and he was welcomed. Where in this article did these women do that?
Did the Father run to the Prodigal son while he was still in the pit, or was he on the road to see the Father and see if there was a place in the servants quarters. He didn't assume anything. Yes the Father ran to him (one of my favorite Benny Hester songs by the way) but the Father didn't run to him in the pit in this instance.
We have to leave the pit - anything else would cheapen every stripe that Christ bore to forgive us.
The school is not a political organization, nor does it appear to be an evangelical ministry it's as was previously posted an educational organization. They get to make the rules.
I'm at this point done, we can agree to disagree on the finer points, but I can't agree distort the Word of God.
LOL! I suspect I may be already!
Yup. While they're giving news conferences to trumpet their sin. ;)
John Edwards, is that YOU again? ROFL!
And with that, I bid you a pleasant tomorrow...uh...today. I gotta go to bed!
"I have as yet to discover an organization of adulterers, murderers and theives who formed political organizations and lobbies so that they can perform their sins openly and proudly, with full government sanction and even special benefits."
I DO, those organizations are called the Senate, the house of Representitives,the supreme court, you are forgeting all 50 states had laws against adultery, fornication, homosexuality.... and it was your parents senators that changed those laws.
For all your other paragraphs I am not arguing that. I agree, it is invading and breaking down the culture. I am not arguing against it. What I am saying is now that this story is out it has poisend the minds of non believers by showing Christians as hate mongerers. If the lesbian couple wanted to teach in the school then she would have to go. But this kid just wanted to go to school. It was handled in a manner not reflecting the love of Christ. That is what I am arguing nothing else.
Good night, pleasant dreams!
And what if the administration had just prayed about it and said, our goal is to reach these young girls "parents" for Christ so lets let her stay for that reason. You think we would be up this late right now?>
If they did consult with lawyers they have bad ones. I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on tv, however couldnt the arguement be made that A her sister went to the same school and had no invasion of homosexual agenda. B Does the administration ask all parents if they are married or about moral sin in their lives and then decide if their child should be kicked out? C. What about the parent that is committing incest with their child, do they ask that?
I think they are going to get dinged leagally because they pulled this girl out because of the parents behavior. Not because the child didnt sign or follow the morality code.
Many will say Lord Lord and I will say go away I do not know you......
Is that post modernist?
Which were turned away sad more in scripture the sinners, prostitutes, posessed? Or those that thought they were righteous?
Your sexual orientation should have nothing to do with anything at all. Yet, why is it that homosexuals use their sexual orientation to identify or validate who they are? Is life that bereft of flavor and spice for them? Are they that shallow?
Has anyone ever heard a phrase similar to this?...."You know Bob. He's that heterosexual guy in the mail room."
Of course not.
The new season of "The Apprentice" with Doanld Trump features one contestant who said, "Wait until they find out I'm gay. Watch their attitudes change toward me."
First of all, how would they find out what this person's sexual preferences are? Second, maybe the change in attitudes is not due to this person's sexual preference but because of the fact that this person just has to let everyone know what he does in the bedroom. Maybe they never cared.
Next time the urge hits one of them to spout off and declare their sexual preference, perhaps they'd be better served by sitting down and shutting the hell up. No one cares.
