"The Bible says homosexuality is a sin. The Boy Scouts do not."

Actually, the Bible says that homosexual behavior is a sin.

[NonValueAdded]

What happened to “love the sinner, hate the sin?” I fear this decoupling will only hasten the fall.

[Cheerio]

Mine is, and I hope they all cut ties.

It’s just too bad that the leadership within the scouts has devolved into this mess. Maybe instead of punishing the kids by disbanding and defunding the troops, maybe we should work to throw out the malevolent deviant homosexual perverts in the leadership positions within the oranization. Somebody made these decisions, against everything the scouts stand for, they need to be singled out, and told in no certain terms that they have no future in the scouts, and they either leave, or get thrown out. Oh, and I would like to see an axe grinding badge added.

The enemy of men's souls has always used homosexuality and sexual perversion to destroy nations, societies, relationships and the family.

It was sexual perversion that destroyed the Roman empire and it's certainly doing so in the US. Life is all about relationships....ruin, split, divide and injure those and you're fast going down the road of destroying the nation in whole.

Additionally...pedophilia is certainly on the heels of homosexuality...and bestiality not far from that.

The barbarians are here and active....seen and heard now in full view of the audiance....leaving a trail of destruction in their path.

The Mormons I don’t care about, but it saddens me that the Methodist Church has taken the road it has taken over the last 15 years with its bogus open hearts open minds mantra. The national convention has sold the church’s soul right out from underneath the smaller more conservative local churches that are tied to the national convention by tithes.

I know many Methodist’s from my small home town where the younger ones have gone to the SBC church and the older ones basically just too old and sad to leave a church they have been in for 50+ years. The small town church I went to with my wife, between my Baptist churches, went from a healthy membership of over 200+ on any Sunday to maybe 15-20 on a Sunday now.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

At least some churches are holding to biblical laws. Given the current political climate the best they can do is follow St. Paul’s advice-”...come out from among them.”

The Bible says homosexuality is a sin. The Boy Scouts do not

---

We can thank Boys Scout leaders who are liberal, those easily intimidated and the mormons. Had the mormon’s prophet not changed their stand on homosexuality (for political purposes) this would never had happened. I'm glad my God doesn't change. They don't see that their beliefs are changed by mere men who many times do it for political reasons.

he Scouts’ two largest religious sponsors, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the United Methodist Church, both said they intend to remain involved

Of course they will. The Mormon "church" isn't Christian, and the United Methodist Church has for the most part become so liberal and unbiblical that it can no longer be considered an authentic, bible-believing Christian denomination. My Godly Methodist grandparents who passed on to Heaven in the '50s would leave the current UMC in a heartbeat if they were still living here on this sin-cursed ball of dirt.

[BuffaloJack]

The Boy Scouts held out for quite a long time, but the commies and liberals prevailed.
I’m not abandoning them because they are being coerced into their current situation. Maybe they could make a stand again if given enough backing.

[greene66]

No way in blazes will my family have anything to do with the Scouts ever again. I hold the whole organization in abject contempt. They are a disgrace to everything they once stood for. I truly spit on them.

Some people on the thread think that there is no need to get out of the BSA - keep the good with the bad, be a good influence, etc.

This is totally the wrong attitude, unless it veils an acceptance of homosexuality. The homos will rule the BSA, and everyone will shut up -- or even be forced to vocally support homosexual behavior, as everyone in the DOJ must, as silence is now taken to mean the homophobia evil of "disapproval".

He said the new policy fits the beliefs of most religious groups that sponsor troops.

Interesting that Gibbon said that one of the signs of the fall of the Roman Empire was the decay, not the decline of religion.

For those homosexual apologists on FR who are troubled that Roswell Street Baptist Church is dumping it's Boy Scout program, then they should also know that, in the New Testament, there is a thing that can be practiced call withdrawing fellowship. That is what Roswell Street church is doing.

Also interesting that the pro-homosexual lobby charging into to battle with their short-swords drawn screaming, "Love the center, hate the Sin!" are up against a difficult wall found in Chapter One of Romans. Verse 18 and following describe a society under the judgment of God. One of the symptoms of God's judgment is homosexuality, found in Verses 26 and 27.

But here's the point I wanted to make. In verse 28, Paul says that God gives the unredeemed people in that judged society over to a depraved mind--that is, they are incapable of understanding Truth. They reject it. Also in a judged society, there are a number of characteristics of people in a condemned society including murder, strife, deceit, envy, and practicing things that they understand are worthy of spiritual death, but they go ahead and practice them anyway. (Hence the reason for homosexual guilt. They understand that it is one of the things that signify spiritual death, but they go ahead and practice it anyway.)

Then there is the matter of the haters-of-God, found in verse 30. The Greek word so translated is theotugeis. My son did research on the word. In virtually every other time the word is used in other Greek literature usage from the time of Homer, he found that the word actually means God-hated.

At the very least, those who want to defend homosexual behavior on the basis of Hate-the-sin-love-the-sinner seem to be on very shaky ground. Because in a society that is under the judgment of God, homosexuals are listed among groups of people who may be hated by God, depending upon which Greek language authority you wish to agree with.

Argue theology or ignorance all day. If you somehow wish to defend homosexuality and their sin, you may be defending people who are hated-by-God.
Now, for those offended by my point, your argument is not really with me. Your argument is with the authority of Holy Scripture. And no, I don't think this belongs if some religious part of the forum. It was raised here, the discussion belongs here.

From the Florida Family Policy Council regarding defiant uniformed scouts and leaders marching in a "geh pride" parade in Utah:

And so it begins... And the really sad part is the BSA's National Leaders do not have the courage to pull these rebel troop's charters as they promised to enforce BSA's policy. They will just cower once again to gay activists. Afraid to cross them, they will turn a blind eye and allow them to continue defying BSA policy. The BSA has no idea how bad the legal and social repercussions will be of the can of worms they have opened up in changing their policy on open homosexuality. This is just an early "Exhibit A" as to why this was all a horrific mistake to inject sex and politics into the Boy Scouts.

Instincts say it’s repugnant.
