My apologies sir. or maam. no disrespect intended. You may believe he just stuck his head in the bar and said follow me, and that may help you sleep at night, but I dont think that is a serious interp. of what the scripture says. He did not come like the pharisees thought another David to conquer the romans, he was born in a stable. His friends were fisherman, Not the clean cut folks we have pulling into ports around the world today. ( sarcasm) The point is Christ told us to go into this world and make followers. We are to be in this world but not of it. That means Christ didnt engage in sin but constantly engaged sinners. Not with a Bible in hand but most likely a cup of cold water and in some cases maybe a beer.

Tell me, do you think Jesus would have kicked this girl out of a Christian school?

Not that it matters, but I'm female...so with that out of the way.

You're being willfully obtuse with my answers, and you are twisting what I'm saying. I never said Christ was Ostrich-like. Not sure about the beer, quite sure about the wine. Quite sure that he was comfortable in his earthly skin and welcomed people from whatever pit they were in, what he didn't allow was wallowing in that pit. Once they had the good news, they were expected to get out of the pit. (Even the prodigal son, had to leave the slop to get back to the good stuff).

I think if it was Jesus, and he had an eye to eye with the parent's, they would either come to know him, and leave their sinful relationship, or they would walk away and take their daughter with them.
