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.

I dont feel I have twisted anything. I will point out something in the Prodigal son that most Christian miss....

And while he was still a long way off the Father saw him and ran toward him.....

Now tell me does God wait till we have crawled back on bloody knuckles to ask for forgiveness? No HE runs toward us.

Now in that story Who do you think Christ wants us to act like the Father? or the Older Brother?

In this Christian School story Who is the administration acting like...??? The Father or the Older brother?
