homosexual scoutmasters

[bigedshult]

In I've seen the other day that the Boy Scouts were taken their charter away from home church. Because they heard he had us gay homosexual scoutmaster! I am glad to see that they took that stand. It is the right thing to do not to let gay are homosexuals the scoutmaster leading young men and young women out in the woods to learn about nature when they are against nature's way of life. The nature way of life is a man and a woman that is the way God set it up!

I don't believe there is anything wrong with a scoutmaster being gay.  Just because he or she is gay does not mean they are going to force their lifestyle on anyone else.  I don't go around thinking I'm superior because I'm straight.  We are all equal and God loves us all and we should all be treated the same.  I feel terrible for that scoutmaster who probably just wanted to be a mentor to kids, and now has to feel ashamed of what he feels in his heart. Shame on that community for being so closed minded!

I think that the community at large has become more understanding of homosexuality and that there are only a few people (like the person who started this post) and churches like the one referenced that are so close minded. Some people want to genuinely help youth get ahead. It is somewhat ironic that a church that professes God's love could turn it's back on a gay scout master.  Perhaps the church had it's own problems with homosexuality in it's ranks (Seems to be more common than scoutmasters) and was just trying to keep attention away from it's own scandals.

I'm with you two.  The God I believe in loves and accepts EVERYONE, no matter what they are born to be, so who are we to say God is wrong and we know better?  We have to stop this senseless hating over differences and come together if we're to have peace on our planet.   Christ said "Love thy neighbor as thyself.".  He didn't put exceptions on it, he included everyone.

I think I'd rather be the one teaching my kids the ways of nature  regardless of their sexuality but then my kids say Im a paranoid mom . lol probably that is so.

Why should 95% - 98% of society accept the perversion of homosexuality being FORCED on our children in ANY way shape or form?

I personally don't care one bit about someone's 'sexual orientation' and who they want to have a sexual relationship with, as long as that is a consensual understanding. I don't want to stone homosexuals to death or condemn them to hell or cause them any harm at all.

HOWEVER, I draw the line at having them placed in a 'protected class' status and granted 'special' considerations under the law. Be it a choice or a matter of genetics, it is a known and long running historical fact that homosexuals DO impose their lifestyle on others, in particular young boys (little has been studied with girls). Just look at the Roman Catholic Church, CENTURIES of willing acceptance of priests recruiting boys into homosexual encounters and COVERING it up.

Call me a bigot if you whish, but I see only bad in exposing children to homosexuals and their perversions. And YES it is perversion regardless of the 'cause'.

The world is so far gone today even when you show what God thinks of homosexuality it doesnt register with them.You even have people saying Jesus supports it!!Truly a joke where you see the mind-set of many in the world and when you tell them or show them the truth they tell you to go BLANK yourself!!!

Abraham asked God if he could find 50 righteous people to spare S&G.....he got it down to 5/10......they couldnt be found and the cities were destroyed for their depravity.What makes anyone today think Gods laws have changed?

It is a SIN in his eyes and always will be just as adultry,stealing,murder etc are!!But there is also forgivness to those that change their ways too.

You know i am always and forever reading posts that frown on gays and that it's the way GOD wants it.. and it's a sin. Well you know what else is a sin? Divorce.. I don't see everyone going crazy over people getting a divorse.. DO you know the punishment for divorse? Supposidly it is stoneing the woman.. I don't see people stoneing a woman to death because she has gotten a divorse.. DO you see anywhere in the pages where it says a punishment for gay people? I don't think so.. SO this world needs to get off the gay subject already... If your going to judge others by what you read in the bible you should JUDGE ALL OF IT.. Not just one thing you think is wrong and run with it.. LOL.. There is nothing wrong with being gay.. Your statements are  opinions.. Opinions that should be kept to yourself if you can't go about saying anything nice.. Facts and opinions are two diffrent things don't get them mixed up.. It's a free world if you don't like the way someone lives then turn away.. If you don't like what someone is doing then move.. If you can't handle change then go hide somewhere where nothing will change. I hate when people take things out of a bible and bring them to life of what they think GOD wants or NEEDS..This is why alot of people get steered away from Religion People are constantly trying to convert someone to their own beliefs.. I don't think it's against the law to be Gay.. I also don't belive it's against the law to have your own thought's and beliefs. So why try to convert people to yours? Also is it not in the bible to not judge others? What are you saying to youself when you are sitting here spouting out opinions like that? Is it not judgement of others?

Why does the Bible describe homosexual acts as unnatural and obscene? Because they involve sexual activity that was not intended by our Creator. Homosexual acts cannot produce offspring. The Bible compares homosexual activity to the sexual relations that rebellious angels, who came to be known as demons, had with women before the Deluge of Noah’s day. (Genesis 6:4; 19:4, 5; Jude 6, 7) God views both acts as unnatural.

The Bible assures us that God’s will is that “all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4) Though the Bible disapproves of homosexual acts, it does not encourage hatred of homosexuals.

Being a homosexual does not also make a person a pedophile.

On Divorce..........

When difficulties arise, Christians who honor their marriage do not hastily separate or divorce. (Malachi 2:16; 1 Corinthians 7:10, 11) Jesus stated: “Everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of fornication, makes her a subject for adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matthew 5:32) Opting for divorce or separation when a couple has no Scriptural grounds dishonors marriage.

Sorry to get off subject here....2 wrongs dont make a right......but bible doesnt hold back on this either.....
