On Wednesday the Southern Baptist Convention took an official stand against the gay Boy Scouts of America, saying the practices of homosexuals are contrary to the oath of a scout to do his duty to God.
This was in response to the irresponsible and immoral decision by the Boy Scouts of America to allow openly gay scouts into the membership.
Since Southern Baptist churches are independent, the leadership can't tell a church it has to sever ties with the Scouts.
According to the website of the Boy Scouts of America, approximately 108,000 Boy Scouts are sponsored by the Southern Baptists. The largest protestant denomination in America warned the Boy Scout leadership that allowing gays into the membership would result in many Southern Baptist churches to stop sponsoring troops.
Since the Southern Baptist Convention has an alternative boys youth program in place called Royal Ambassadors, it's unclear why the churches it represents don't completely leave the Boy Scouts, as the Boy Scouts are irrelevant, it's the raising of godly young men that matters.
The perverted idea that boys should remain in the Scouts because of it being considered an evangelistic opportunity is totally wrong and unbiblical. You don't place unsuspecting boys in the midst of a perverted and evangelistic lifestyle for the sake of supposedly winning some to Christ. Willfully exposing children to homosexuality is sinful, and to do it in the name of Christ even worse.
Jesus and John the Baptist, in the beginning of their ministries, said "repent," that means to turn away from your sin and believe in Christ. To remove repent from the equation in order to be considered "tolerant" is a sure way to lose all salt and light the people of Jesus Christ are called to be.
All real Christians need to totally break away from the Boy Scouts and start their own programs, if they already don't have one in place. The name Boy Scouts has no meaning, and it adds nothing to the training and experience of boys to have that name attached to them.
The Boy Scouts have been completely compromised, quit using the tired old mantra of staying on to change them from within. It isn't going to happen. Leave the Boy Scouts and let them become the irrelevant organization they are already on the way to becoming.

Growing Number of Kentucky Churches Reject Gay Boy Scouts
In a move that any real church obedient to Jesus Christ should do, some in the central Kentucky area are no long supporting the Boy Scouts of America for rejecting the Christian faith and allowing homosexual boys into the organization.
Standing against this tide is Severns Valley Baptist Church in Elizabethtown, Kentucky and Rineyville Baptist Church in Rineyville, Kentucky, who publicly announced they will no longer support the former quality organization.
Southeast Christian Church in Louisville has also pulled support from the Boy Scouts, one of the largest churches in Kentucky.
Severns Valley Baptist Church, which has over 4,000 members stated:
“the new Boy Scout policy doesn't adhere to Biblical and church standards.”
Rineyville Baptist Church Pastor, Mitch Ash rightly said the new policy isn't "in line" with his church's beliefs. More importantly, it's not in line with the Bible either.
James "Chip" Armishaw, the Scout Executive/CEO of the Blue Grass Council, continues to flaunt the decision:
"At the Blue Grass Council, I take great pride in creating an environment where people and religious organizations, who may disagree on a variety of topics, still work together to achieve life-changing benefits to youth through its program."
This isn't about some petty disagreement, this is about the eternal lives of homosexuals who are increasingly being coddled by so-called churches in the name of tolerance, even though their eternal lives are at stake.
And the idea that Armishaw focuses on the pathetic idea of the Scouts offering "life-changing benefits to youth" while young boys in the Scouts will be evangelized to the lifestyle, while gays are reinforced in their sinful lifestyles, is a direct assault on the commands of God Himself.
The greatest life-changing benefit is for everyone to repent from their sin and sinful lifestyles and come to Jesus Christ. To ignore that is to ignore the most important thing in the world. The gay Boy Scouts of America now do that.
Christians everywhere must remove support for the gay organization completely and totally, while not being afraid to verbally let it be known.

Kentucky Church Ends Ties to Gay Boy Scouts
Now that the boy scouts are going gay, it's inevitable that churches that truly follow Jesus Christ will break all ties with the organization.
That has already started to happen in Kentucky, as Southeast Christian Church announced it will break ties with the Boy Scouts of America, citing the polarizing institution it has become.
Barry Oxley, chief executive of the Boy Scouts' Lincoln Heritage Council, said this:
"Our focus is helping youth grow into young people of character and integrity through a program of fun and adventure."
Now that the boy scouts went homosexual, the new idea of fun is one that is ungodly and opposite of who Jesus Christ is.
It's people like this Oxley who better get educated quickly as to what character and integrity is. It is not the acceptance, promotion, or tolerance of sin that is probably condemned as much as any sin in the Holy Scriptures is.
What has happened is the Boy Scouts have now opened the door to anti-Christian behavior condemned by God almighty, and that means this organization needs to be totally and completely abandoned and rejected by the Church.

Boy Scouts Destroy Themselves, Open Doors to Homosexuals
The Boy Scouts of America have signed their own death warrant, as voting members of the organization approved a measure which would lift a ban on openly gay boys being allowed to participate in activities.
In a bizarre statement, the BSA said this:
"While people have different opinions about this policy, we can all agree that kids are better off when they are in Scouting."
NO BSA, kids are no longer better off being in scouting. Now it has become and anti-Christian organization where homosexual boys will be allowed to evangelize unsuspecting and vulnerable boys to their lifestyle.
Even worse, the BSA justified its actions, making the former mission of the organization a banner to gather around.
"The Boy Scouts of America will not sacrifice its mission, or the youth served by the movement, by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, divisive, and unresolved societal issue," the BSA said in a statement.
Voting in gays has already sacrificed the mission. There is no longer a mission when boys can engage in homosexual behavior while allegedly being committed to God.
Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's executive committee, rightly noted, "We are deeply saddened. Homosexual behavior is incompatible with the principles enshrined in the Scout oath and Scout law."
Think about it a moment though. Why be saddened? Who cares about something called the Boy Scouts? It no longer exists. For years there have been Christian alternatives, and people need to take their boys out of the Boy Scouts and lend their support to them. It's the experience that matters, not the name.
And when the scout leaders do the same, then it will be known that this was one of the stupidest things the Boy Scouts could have.
It now needs to be totally and completely abandoned.
As for the Mormons, let them start their own scouting group as well.
Their needs to be a complete exodus from this new Sodom. If you don't take your boys out, don't act surprised when they tell you they were somehow born gay and there's simply nothing they can do about it. Oh yeah, your sons will tell you that while holding the hand of their boyfriend.
Get your boys out of this now despicable organization. There is no more honor residing in this failed entity.

Keep Homosexuals Out of Boy Scouts
Opinion
A Louisville, Kentucky homosexual is trying to pressure the Boy Scouts by using the media to twist the arm of the United Way so it'll denounce the Boy Scouts for its ban on gays in leadership and in being Scouts.
The United Way and others need to resist this because homosexuals don't belong in Boy Scouts because of their predatory behavior and evangelistic lifestyles.
As for funding, if the United Way wants to find itself losing millions in funding, let them denounce the Boy Scouts for their brave stand against the encroaching lifestyle which opposes everything the creator and Savior of the World, Jesus Christ, stands for.
Greg Bourke was rightly removed as a Scout leader once he confessed to being gay, as are all of those that refuse to repent and turn from their sinful lifestyle.
According to United Way executive Pete Hahn, funding decisions are left to United Way boards. The United Way needs to know that Kentuckians overwhelmingly oppose the homosexual lifestyle and would punish them financially if they denounce the Boy Scouts in any way.

Boys Scouts Going Gay?
In what could be a moral disaster, the Boys Scouts of America appears to be caving on the issue of excluding gays from leadership in the organization.
At this time, what appears to be a trial balloon, the Boy Scouts organization has thrown out the possibility of leaving it in the hands of local groups and their donaters as to whether or not to allow homosexual leaders and youth members into the organization.
It's a disaster because there is no way to police the organization and who the members are.
For example, what happens if there are jamborees involving Boy Scout organizations from a variety of areas, some of which allow and others which forbid homosexual involvement? Those who expect there to be no gay leaders and members involved, will now have their boys exposed to the aberrant lifestyle, which is always evangelistic in nature, no matter what the proponents assert.
If the Boys Scouts of America goes forth with this compromise, we need to immediately take our boys out en masse, and allow them to see just how deeply we oppose this outrageous measure.
For Larue County and the surrounding area, we need to let the organization know we won't settle for these actions by the national organization, and will stop funding in any way, shape or form the Boy Scouts in this area.
There are plenty of ways a similar group can be put together, one that is safe and focuses on what the Boy Scouts are supposed to be focused on; not to create another group involved with social engineering which could result in our young boys being exposed to and recruited in this lifestyle that is opposed by Jesus Christ and the Bible.
