Are you for real>???? He was constantly challenged that he spent time in the homes of sinners. He was asked why? He said it is the Sick that need the physician...

Buddy the Christ I believe in probably wouldnt be recognized by you today..... in the same way he wasnt recognized 2000 years ago. You better look again at WHO Jesus came to save. Ask yourself the question as you read....." If I was a charicter in and around the stories of Christ who would I most likely be? Would it be the tax collector that cried out humbly in the synagog "Father forgive me a sinner" Or the pharesees that were constantly nippin a Christ trying to trap him???and figure out why they didnt have to change their behavior.

I'm not a buddy - and that's condescending! I would ask you to re-read what I wrote. He asked people to leave their sins. He didn't try to convince people. He gave them a clear invitation to "follow him" that meant they left where they were - they left their sin behind.

These are all wonderful platitudes about how Jesus would have welcomed these lesbians into his arms, and I encourage you, if you are Christians, to feel free to reach out to people like this and bring them the Word.

With that said, I'd like to point out that this is a school we're talking about, not a church, not a religious missionary organization. This is an organization whose sole purpose is the education of children within a Christian environment in order to reinforce the Christian beliefs that are under such heavy assault everywhere else in the world. Those who run the school understand that instilling such values can only be done successfully within a partnership of school and parents, each reinforcing what the other teaches, but the majority of the influence coming from the parents. So, if the parents, as in this case, have willfully rejected Biblical teachings, the school underestands that their attempts to counter that influence are pointless. Furthermore, allowing this family, and it is the family that is accepted, not just the student, to belong to this school is to allow an ideology which is exactly contrary to that which you are trying to teach to get its foot in the door of your school, with increasing levels of "tolerance" to follow.

If you wish to reach out to such people as these unrepentant lesbians, do so, and bear the burden of reaching out to the lost yourselves. Do not require that burden to be carried by the children just so you can imagine yourselves to be more Christ-like.
