"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death."--Proverbs 14:12
Like a malignant cancer that relentlessly spreads and methodically kills the body, leftism has spread to yet another iconic American organization. Recently, the Boy Scouts of America announced that they may soon admit homosexual members and leaders into their organization.
From nbcnews.com: The Boy Scouts of America, one of the nation’s largest private youth
organizations, is actively considering an end to its decades-long policy of
banning gay scouts or scout leaders, according to scouting officials and
outsiders familiar with internal discussions. If adopted by the organization’s board of directors, it would represent a
profound change on an issue that has been highly controversial -- one that even
went to the US Supreme Court. The new policy, now under discussion, would
eliminate the ban from the national organization’s rules, leaving local
sponsoring organizations free to decide for themselves whether to admit gay
scouts.
Undoubtedly, the Scouts are considering dropping the ban against homosexuals because of the relentless pressure that the militant Gay Rights Movement has exerted against them for nearly three decades.
And that's tragic. This isn't about exclusion, bigotry or promoting hatred of homosexuals; it's about upholding biblical values and instilling them in impressionable young boys who are constantly being bombarded with evil by a depraved culture. Since the Boy Scouts are a private organization, they have a right to promote those values without outside interference or intimidation. Those biblical values also teach young men to remain celibate until marriage; to be honest, to succeed in school through academic achievement and to become solid citizens and good role models for young children.
Homosexuals argue that they do the same things and it's wrong to keep them out of the Scouts simply because of their sexual orientation. While that argument makes sense to many folks, it doesn't make sense when an organization such as the Boy Scouts has historically promoted a biblical worldview. Not only does the Bible condemn the homosexual lifestyle, it also condemns a host of other behaviors such as fornication, greed, adultery, excessive drinking, extortion, thievery and idolatry. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) The Scouts don't want to admit those who are involved in these vices either.
Ironically, as the United States becomes more "tolerant" toward "alternative" lifestyles such as homosexuality, lesbianism and transgenderism, Russia becomes less tolerant towards these lifestyles. So what? Who cares about Russia?
Well, consider this; Russia is rapidly rising militarily, politically and very soon economically. In the not too distant future, Russia is going to begin exporting her influence by force all across the planet. And a big part of Russia's political influence is derived from the Russian Orthodox Church that doesn't hide its contempt for homosexuality. Here's a quote from the Rev. Sergiy Rybko: "Until this scum gets off of Russian land, I fully share the views of
those who are trying to purge our motherland of it. We either become a tolerant
Western state where everything is allowed--and lose our Christian and moral
foundations--or we will be a Christian people who live in our God-protected land
in purity and godliness."
If the Russians eventually do succeed in forcing their cultural values on America and the western world, then homosexuality is finished. The Boy Scouts may be losing their influence, but those who spread their influence by force usually win out. If they do, the Boy Scouts will go back to being what they once were. Because they won't have any choice.
