Principal deems Jesus chant
offensive

I
have a lot of mixed feelings on this article. First a bunch of "Christians"
using the words "I love Jesus" as a cat call. Over the years I have
seen this sort of thing done by bible believing and spirit filled Christians
many times and in many ways that are equally vile before God. A major example
of this pride and arrogance is a pervasive belief both spoken and unspoken
that a "believers" is superior to and so much smarter in every way
shape and form over the filthy and corrupt unsaved, that the unsaved are ignorant
and stupid and knows nothing like the "believer" knows and this
is carried into many areas. Those that do these things walk in darkness and
walk in the image and likeness of their fathers the Pharisees.
At the same time I am concerned with the advancement
of political correctness, aka the thought police, aka diversity training that
it is now to the place that these have official offices in Roman Catholic
Collages and I have read elsewhere in Baptist and other fundamentalist collages
as well so that they (These ungodly humanistic atheistic organizations) are
pushing deeper and deeper into our culture seeking to subvert the general
populous from their traditional quasi “Christian” beliefs promoting instead
their anti God, Anti bible , anti Christian, liberal agenda.
Elsewhere
in Canada and I beleive Austrailia partors have been arrested and are being
tried in court for preaching against the sin of homosexuality under essentially
these same laws and statutes. Had the church been buzy preaching the Gospel
to every creature over the last 50 years things would be decidedly different
than what we see, but in the vaccum of the church and individual believers
being obediant to their calling the church is diminishing in number and stature
as the ungodly are being multiplied and are gaining power and stature.
Having come to
grips with their waining influence as far back as the 1990's quite a few church
organizations and ministries began to adopt the playbook from liberal activists
and seek to create lobbying groups to counter act their decline. As we have
written at length this is first unscriptural it is dirrectly againstthe commandmensts
of Christ and it is at best a temporary quick fix that ignores completely
the source of the problem -- that is the vast number of nominal christians
that have been dissuaded into these beliefs by a church that increasing does
not preach and teach chrsit and does not reach out to the poor as Christ commanded.
Isaiah

shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and
they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish. Moreover they that work
in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - A Catholic school principal has organized
sensitivity training for students who shouted "We love Jesus" during
a basketball game against a school with Jewish students. The word "Jew"
also was painted on a gym wall behind the seats of Bishop Sullivan
Catholic High
School students attending the Feb. 2 game at Norfolk Academy,
said Dennis W. Price, principal of the Virginia
Beach school.
Price who also watched the game, said the rivals exchanged
chants, "Then, at some point, our students were chanting, 'We love
Jesus.'"
"It was obviously in reference to the Jewish population
of Norfolk Academy; that's the only way you can
take that," he added.
Price said he sent a letter of apology to Norfolk. Dennis G. Manning, the academy's
headmaster, declined to comment.
Several Sullivan students met with Norfolk Academy's
cultural diversity club Thursday as part of a series of events aimed at
promoting tolerance, Price said.
He has arranged for the Virginia Conference for Community
and Justice and the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater to work with
students.
A message left for the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater
was not immediately returned Saturday.
Price also has consulted the Anti-Defamation League, a
national group that fights anti-Semitism.
"It is important that we work harder at having students
leaving here who are tolerant and understand how serious these kinds of things
are," said Price, who said diversity training will be incorporated
permanently at Sullivan.
