August 25, 201016 yr You feel sorry for a child with two loving parents? All kids should be so lucky.
August 25, 201016 yr You feel sorry for a child with two loving parents? All kids should be so lucky. Agreed.
August 25, 201016 yr And, then...these could be Christian Lesbians who want their child to be schooled in a Christian tradition. Lesbian/Homosexual...it doesn't mean one isn't Christian. i think you have some great post and I agree with you a lot. But IMO you can not be a Christian and be gay. It says right in the Bible that homosexuality is a sin. A person IMO can get away from homosexuality and be saved, just as you can drugs, gambling, stealing. But if you continue to be gay then you are going to hell.
August 25, 201016 yr So does a "private" school have the right to reject an African American child because his/her parents are African American?
August 25, 201016 yr 1 Corinthians 6:9 says the unrightous will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Then it lists several sinful acts and one of them is homosexuallity. Actually homosexuallity isn't one of the things listed. Some take effeminate and interpret that has homosexuallity but it does not state homosexuallity. Matthew 7:13...2nd Timothy 3:16 I am confused what these have to to with being gay. I am no expert on the bible so can you elaborate for me? i think you have some great post and I agree with you a lot. But IMO you can not be a Christian and be gay. It says right in the Bible that homosexuality is a sin. A person IMO can get away from homosexuality and be saved, just as you can drugs, gambling, stealing. But if you continue to be gay then you are going to hell. Where exactly does it say that?
August 25, 201016 yr Author So does a "private" school have the right to reject an African American child because his/her parents are African American? I would imagine that a "private" school has the right to reject anyone for any reason...because they are private.
August 25, 201016 yr You are right it does, and all I can say is that Paul is writing from his world view. Paul also says that people should not marry, yet, I see Christians getting married every day. Paul says that women should be quiet in church - there are many, many denominations that allow women to be ministers, even to men their own age. Paul also says that the "wifes body does not 'belong' to her, but also to her husband". At least in my house, "no" still means "no" regardless of what Paul says about my wife's body also being mine. Paul says not to take people to court, yet Christians do it every day. Paul says not to associate with anyone who call himself a brother but is sexually immoral or GREEDY, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. Jesus says - in contradiction to Paul - I have not come to call the righteous but the unrighteous. He ate with sinners, even the loathesome tax collectors. Jesus was more at home with the sinners that the religious right of his day. What do I do when Paul contradicts the teachings of Jesus? Paul also says (still in 1 Corinthians 6) that "Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial." What does that mean exactly. What does Paul say about divorce, what does Jesus say. Paul does us not eat with sinners but then he goes on to say that if a believing wife stays with her unbelieving husband, the husband will be sanctified through her - what does sanctified mean here. I post this not to be argumentative but to show why it is not so easy for me to simply say, well Paul said, so there you go. If you have faith in the Bible, Paul is writing from the direction of God. I think that trying to break down the written word as being from the point of view of the person who wrote the verse is a humanistic stance toward the Bible, and not one of faith in its teachings. I once again will say that I find it difficult that we are supposed to believe the verses that we choose to.
August 25, 201016 yr Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with man kind, as with womankind: it is abomination Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with man kind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Jude 17 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha , and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh , are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. If you turn away from sin then you can be saved. But you can not keep sinning and expect to go to heaven. if you are saved you will be living a Christian life, being a homosexual is not living a christian lifestyle. Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve Of course it is my opinion and what I am taught in church. Do not be fooled into thinking it is ok to be gay and go to heaven. A lot of false teachings and beliefs.
August 25, 201016 yr I'll explain this in one word: TEXAS You can bet your lunch money that before they denied entry into the school they checked the books looking for a reason to invoke corporate punishment. They want to punish corporations?

Since you like Leviticus so much I assume you don't eat pork or shellfish since they are considered an abomination as well.
August 25, 201016 yr I am glad the girl has someone that loves her. I feel sad she has to be brought up in a lifestyle that obviously doesnt believe in dating or marrying men. So is the girl going to always be scolded if she has a boyfriend or looked down on by her 2 moms if she isnt like them. Either way this is what is wrong with society.
August 25, 201016 yr I know lots of gay people, none of them are recruiters. Some have kids and they don't care what their child's sexual preference is or will be. Actually, most gay people I know are far more tolerant and open minded than most posters on here.
August 25, 201016 yr Obviously they are open minded. You dont have to recruit gays. The little girl will be brought up in the lifestyle and think that is the way.
