A CHRISTIAN woman teaches at a CHRISTIAN school teaches CHRISTIAN values and now everyone has lost their beans.

You don’t have to agree with what the school teaches, but this shouldn’t be this surprising to people.

Who is surprised? People are pointing out that it doesn't mesh with their own Christian values and that it's not a very smart move for the wife of a politician with continued ambitions on the national level to be affiliated with an institution that practices/preaches such discrimination and rejects science.

If it doesn’t mesh with their own Christian values, then they are not true Christians. You can’t try to adapt a religion’s fundamental teachings to your own preferences.

And it doesn’t really matter if Karen Pence decides to teach there, because it’s no secret that Mike Pence is a Christian. Her teaching there isn’t going to change what people already know about the Pences. They’ve already been publicly outspoken about their beliefs.

And their beliefs are not Christianity as I understand it

Christ would certainly not approve of their open bigotry

DP...the point is, there is Christian and then there is (Evangelical/Pence) "Christian." The two are not aligned. See the difference?

What contradictions exist between Pence’s “Christianity” and regular Christianity?

Hate to break it to you but there is no single "Christian" belief system. If that were the case there wouldn't be so many different denominations and the Protestant reformation would never have happened.

You're right, any thought Pence would give to running for President is dead on water because between the two of them they alienate too large of a group of Americans. Most Americans, especially younger generations, don't like the anti-gay religious stuff. So better that they're just open and out there about their belief that gays should be discriminated against and banned from certain jobs and schools etc.

You know why, because everyone has someone gay in their family or among their friends and while some people won't accept that person, more and more people realize how ridiculous it is to reject someone for being gay. Even the Pences must have someone in their extended family who is gay, and the people in that extended family who love that gay person and accept them as they are are not going to vote for Pence.

Well, a lot of people suspect Pence himself has proclivities...

So, there’s that

You are right that there are different versions of Christianity, with different denominations having different beliefs. But the Bible is very clear on homosexuality, it isn’t one of those things that can go either way. Christians should re-enforce what the Bible says. Pence re-enforces the biblical view of homosexuality. I’m not saying you should agree with Pence, but he does support what the Bible says, so to me he is a true Christian.

Uh, there was a LOT of homosexulaity documented from the biblical era.

I bet Pence eats shrimp and pork. That's against the bible, too.

Only people who take the Bible literally believe that. Some of us Christians are not literalists. Are you knocking my belief by casting aspersions on me and my fellow Christians who are not Bible literalists? BTW, that is a VERY Protestant interpretation. Catholics don't read everything in the Bible literally.

We aren’t bound by the Old Testament laws. We are bound by the New Testament laws.

No eating pork and shrimp:
-Commanded in the Old Testament
-Never commanded in the New Testament

No homosexuality:
-Commanded in the Old Testament
-Commanded in the New Testament as well (Romans 10:4, Galatians 3:23-25, Ephesians 2:15)

Your argument is convincing at first, until you study how biblical law works.
