i have been wrongly punished for carrying on the word of god?

Question

so in my town the christian school only goes up to grade 8 so now that im a freshman i go to a public highschool. many of the kids here are not Christians but i usually ignore them until the other day. i saw two boys sitting on a bench around the back of the school AND THEY WERE KISSING ON THE LIPS.

i ran over there and forcefully pulled them apart and explained that what they were doing was sin and that they would burn in hell if they didnt repent.

this seemingly offended them and the bigger of the two pushed my away. one thing led to another and we soon broke down in a fight, mostly with me defending myself from the brute. the three of us got sent to the assistant principles office and his judgment was a surprise to me:

the gayboy that didnt attack me got off scott-free, while ther other had to serve detention for the next three days. I on the other hand got a weeks suspension. why was i punished when they had wronged?

Answer 1

You initiated the conflict so it is right for your punishment to be more severe. You may witness to those who you believe to be violating Gods law but you may not commit any act of violence (by laying hands on them you committed an act of violence even though it was slight) Jesus himself directed the faithful to follow the laws of the nation that they live in. Homosexuality is legal in the United States.

You do not participate in the actions that go against your God but you DO NOT strike at or cruelly ridicule those who are not on the Christian path. You may and should witness to them but if they choose not here your words then you go home and pray for them. Put the situation in Gods hands. Rash and thoughtless actions push the very people you wish to help further from the fold.

Answer 2

You might want to consider looking for a more effective method of discussion. If people might have listened to you, they will certainly not if the first thing you tell them is that they will burn in Hell. Hatred is abundant in this world, every action a christian takes should be motivated by love. We have no authority to bodily separate people in most any circumstance. Just remember that talking seriously but lovingly is the best way to communicate. Also, never let anyone forget that the "freedom of speech" we are supposed to have in this nation is not just for those who hate God.

Answer 3

U can't be puttin' ur hands on people. U don't have the RIGHT to make people believe as u do. U can offer some ADVICE & say a PRAY but that's the extent of it. Keep ur hands to urself. Exactly whose agenda were u enforcing when u got urself into this fight, u or Jesus? Isn't there a scripture, or some scriptures that tell u how to handle these situations.

Answer 4

It was wrong of you to pull them apart. Just because you're a Christian doesn't give you the right to decide what other people should do with their lives. You need to learn to respect other people and the way they live. Not everyone is going to see things the way you do. I am a Christian too by the way.

Answer 5

You were the instigator when you used force on them!! You were intolerant and a bully but most of all you carried out a criminal assault on them!!



Time to consider that had it happened outside of school you would have got a criminal record!!



You should also remember that violence has no place in christianity and that you showed christians in a very bad and nasty light!!

Answer 6

You were actually the aggressor. You attacked first. You did not respect their rights. You obviously crossed the line, because do you normally do that to all people kissing? No, it was discrimination against gays.



How would you feel if someone attacked you for reading the Bible? Yeah, it goes both ways.

Answer 7

Because the principle knew you were up to no good when you posted this question, you silly little boy trying to make christians out to be so silly as to run over and separate to boys kissing. that's just lame, try to think of a better story next time boy wonder.

Answer 8

Do you by chance live in the U.S. where people have the right to not believe what you believe? You could have mentioned your beliefs to them and not touched them and avoided this problems probably. Would you want them to run up to you and kiss you on the lips and say their religion requires it to be just? Didn't think so. Live and let live. Peace.

Answer 9

Ahahaha! You are either TRYING to cause conflict or you are an absolute fool.



If you say "many of the kids here are not Christian" how DARE you try and enforce YOUR beliefs onto them? That is just disgusting of you.



Ignorant.

Answer 10

Unfortunately, this is a very SADsituation that you will have to face more and more. (homosexuality) Stay strong in your faith. But it is not your responsibilityto pass judgement on others. That is for God alone.

Answer 11

Your faith is yours, it is not everyone else's. It is not your place to go around dictating to others that they should live by the rules of your faith. Get that into your head, or you're going to have a lot more trouble in years to come.

Answer 12

If this really happened, then the only thing I see wrong here is that he didn't beat you bad enough to put you in the hospital for a month.

Answer 13

because in some ways you triggered the fight you should not have ran over there and preached what you need to do is you can still have those views but just take the o i feel sorry for them approach but do not force religion down anybody's throats

Answer 14

You got the bigger punishment because you provoked the incident. Your punishment is well deserved. You have no right to force your views on other people.

Answer 15

Hi troll. How are you today? Did mommy let you use the computer, or did you have to stay up past your bedtime and sneak online?

Answer 16

As a Christian, I can say to you in love that you did not handle this right. It is not your place to forcefully break them up and tell them they are going to hell. It is your place to tell them that Jesus loves them and then pray that your word seed will grow.

Answer 17

i love God.



but yeah that was THE WORST way to go about that!

ok, yeah homosexuality is a sin, but so is lying and not respecting parents etc. it is not worst or no better than any other sin!!



and when spreading the word of God you use love and respect and patience, you DONT tell them they are going to hell for what they are doing!!!! again that's a horrible way to go about it. i recommend spreading Gods love, in a loving caring way instead of force full and rude way!!

Answer 18

Answer me this. How can a gay man or gay women change who they are? Jesus is a being of love. Do you really think Jesus, who is are lord is gonna lower himself to the hatefulness of mankind? I think the part condemning homosexuality was added by men, who seen it as wrong.

Answer 19

You should receive a warning of some kind like not being able to be 40ft close to him for your stupid actions.

Answer 20

sad isn't it? where i'm from there's a big issue about this school principle, who wrote this racist song(i consider it to be and many others) and it's teaching the kids the wrong thing. And to think that he's suppose to be a role model and set good examples like your principle suppose to. satan's world...

Answer 21

You physically assaulted two people without provocation. You're very lucky that all you got was suspension.

Answer 22

Judge not least ye be judged. If it is not life threatening M.Y.O.B. Leave the judging to Jesus or God.

Answer 23

I really hope this isn't a joke. That's freakin hilarious, go school! You're lucky you didn't end up in the hospital.

Answer 24

Because God is fake, you ******* Christians are stopping gay people from having what they desire, and you were raised to believe **** that is untrue. If gay people like to kiss let them be. I bet you don't even watch TV cause you say its a sin. ******* religion

Answer 25

you was standing up for what you believe in.I don;t know why you got a week suspcion .God is very proud of you for standing up for your convictions.Try next time to be a bit more suttle and don;t cause a scene,Public school is alot differnt than Christian school.

Answer 26

They hadn't wronged, what they did was not a sin, and I hope "the brute" gave you a good thrashing you nosy little git!

Answer 27

Christians will always be persecuted more harshly. Jesus said the world will hate us, because the world hated Him first. Keep up the good work, your reward will be greater than those who sit around and do nothing!



BRAVO! for your courage!

Answer 28

wake up! not everyone shares your belief. what you did is like forcing a stubborn child to take his "medicine". if you want to "change" them then INVITE them to you church or something.......think about it, what if an (stupid) atheist attacks you and tells you that believing on a God is a very "stupid" thing to do. would you like that to happen

Answer 29

Perhaps because you attacked them?

Answer 30

lol you were a little bold, blunt, physical, forceful.

Answer 31

What do you think you did wrong??

Answer 32

I smell a troll...

Answer 33

Jack@ss. If this isn't joking, i have a mind to slap you...

Answer 34

it wasnt your business.....but are PDAs allowed there??
