Boy Scouts Reconsidering Excluding Sodomites
[Boy Scouts
reconsidering policy against gay membership by Ashley Fantz CN] "The Boy Scouts
of America is considering changing its longstanding policy against allowing
openly gay members, according to a news release from the organization.
The organization, which has 2.7 million members, is "potentially discussing"
doing away with its national policy after months of protest, including hundreds

Boy Scouts reconsidering policy against gay membership
Homosexuality is: forbidden (Lev. 18:22), considered an abomination (1 Kin.
14:24), punishment for (Lev. 20:13), unclean (Rom. 1:24, 26, 27).
Hope you're right.
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: [Term Sodomite] "So, I don't see anything that says homosexual in that definition."
[What God Thinks of Homosexuals by John MacArthur] "Male homosexuals, sodomites, and, by the way, if I use the term sodomite a lot and sodomy a lot, it's because I feel that's the best term to define this. The worst term is gay. Gay is a term that was invented in order to take the stigma away from this particular thing and to make it seem rather frivolous and fun and light and so forth. And homosexual is a little too clinical, but Sodom is the Biblical term. Sodomy is a term used biblically to define it, and a sodomite, not only speaks of the sin itself and the activity itself, but implicit in it is something of God's attitude toward it. So that's probably the best term to use, although it may not be the most popular with people who are involved in this kind of sin." Full text: What God Thinks of Homosexuals
