DJC49, I see your point about identity, and about gay people being "proud" of their sin. What I meant was that every sin, gay or not, was so bad that Christ had to die so we could be forgiven. I also understand the concerns about the impact on the other students. I'm more concerned what message expelling them sends about who the gospel is for. The school could be teaching the relevant Biblical truth and prepare the students for the world's view of homosexuality, which they're going to hear eventually anyway. But I realise it must have been a tough decision. I just have seen way too much "gay bashing" coming from Christians. I strongly believe that as Christ's representatives on earth we need to remember that Jesus came into the world to save sinners, and people in homosexual sin fall into that category like everyone else. Most of what I read written by Christians about homosexuality is so lacking in love. Instead of explaining that their lifestyle isn't their true identity but a sinful choice which God hates, and He will free them from it by His grace and love through Christ if they turn to Him, we seem to just only be telling them that their lifestyle is sin and God hates it. A bit of a tangent, but I hope it explains a bit where I'm coming from. God bless.
I don't understand... was the school's purpose to only provide an education to kids who were already Christians? If not, why not let these girls stay and continue to teach them from Scripture about the need to repent of sin and turn to Christ? Sure, teach that homosexual behaviour is sin (and that in itself will cause you problems, but the Bible says it so we know it's true), but expel them? Would the school expel straight students who appeared from myspace.com to be conducting an inappropriate relationship?
I don't understand why so many Christians think what the school did was right. It makes me cringe. Homosexuality is just another sin like any other. We have no right to reject these people from society. We need to love them and point them to Christ, same as we do for any other sinner.
