Boy Scouts Overturn Ban On Homosexual Scouts

April 22, 2013 2 Comments

In a week when the attempted poisoning of the President by an Elvis impersonating letter mailer barely registers on the news radar, it’s hardly a surprise that the Boy Scouts big announcement was ignored. The Scouts are reversing a long standing policy on homosexuals. They will allow homosexual scouts while continuing the ban on homosexual adult scout leaders. Is there any doubt they’ll reverse the adult ban within a few years? It’s been amazing to watch this happen. The progressives targeted the Boy Scouts and now suddenly a once core belief is being tossed aside. At this point it’s obvious the Scouts no longer have core beliefs of any sort.

The Boy Scouts allowed themselves to be pressured into making changes. Make no mistake, they were organized against. Progressives entered at the local level with the sole intent on forcing changes from above. It was coordinated and it was successful because the Scouts were unprepared for such an assault. A once Christian organization, teaching Christian values to young men now cannot call itself Christian. The end result will be the destruction of the organization as conservative families leave only to not be replaced with liberal families unless they have some sort of agenda they have to continue pushing.

Once again, the right has proven they don’t understand how the left operates. We sit back in wonder as society comes to accept the unseemly acts homosexuals engage in. Meanwhile the government schools have targeted children on this subject for nearly 20 years. The Boy Scouts were a target even before their successful lawsuit which allowed them to ban homosexuals. They were an easy target, it’s easy to gain entry into leadership where change can quietly be achieved. We conservatives sit back and do nothing thinking that because we on a lawsuit everything will be fine only to wake up in horror a decade later to discover the homosexuals infiltrated the Boy Scouts and reversed the policy.

What fools we are. The left has done this repeatedly and we still haven’t learned our lesson. If they can’t win at the Court, they’ll target your kids and make their changes in the future. The left has done this for the better part of a century and we conservatives never seem to catch on. We think we’re winning the gun control battle because the Senate couldn’t pass Obama’s bill but we’re losing. Why? Because at government schools all over the country progressive “educators” are teaching children guns are dangerous and the people who use them are evil and thus they need to be controlled. If you think leftists aren’t trying to infiltrate pro-gun organizations like the NRA, you’re out of your mind.

The Boy Scouts have no core values anymore. As such Christians should have no part in the organization. We have to create our own scouting organizations, whether they’re affiliated with our churches or connected nationally. It’s unfortunate, the Boy Scouts have been a good and decent organization teaching Christian life skills to millions of boys. By overturning the ban on homosexual scouts, the organization told all of us it has no core values. If they’re willing to change on this value, a core belief just a decade ago, what other “core” beliefs will they give up? How long before the Boy Scouts start promoting homosexual activity like the Girl Scouts? My boys won’t be in the organization to find out.

Homosexual Marriage A Failing Of The Church And Believers

March 25, 2013 20 Comments

The Supreme Court will be hearing two homosexual marriage cases this week. One seeks a reversal of California’s Prop. 8 which outlaws homosexual marriage. The second seeks to have the Defense of Marriage Act ruled unconstitutional. Our nation has long ago rejected the Christian faith and as such the Supreme Court will not even consider Biblical arguments against homosexual marriage, even though they should. The Supreme Court will rule 5-4 in favor of homosexual marriage, with Justice Roberts being the swing vote. Such would be an unfortunate decision as there is nothing Constitutional about the Supreme Court ordering states to legalize homosexual marriage.

There is nothing conservative or libertarian about homosexual marriage. Marriage is a social institution, created by God in the Garden of Eden. It has historically been between one man and one woman. Homosexuals have never in the history of mankind been granted to right to marry one another. That doesn’t mean homosexuals don’t have the right to marry, in fact they have the same right to marry as everyone else. They may marry someone of the opposite sex, there is no law banning such a marriage. The left is suddenly arguing that homosexual marriage is very conservative because it limits the power of government over marriage when in reality it is a massive government expansion of the definition of marriage.

Our nation is moving further away from God as the years go by. The decision the Supreme Court is likely to deliver should hardly come as a surprise to anyone. A century ago Christians abandoned education, handing it over to the state. Since then we have seen an explosion in the size and scope of government in our lives. The progressive movement knew and understood that to change the future they would have to separate children from their parents and from the church. They have been wildly successful. After just twenty years of pushing homosexuality as normal in the schools, 63% of the country has no problem with homosexual marriage. Among younger people, the number is even higher.

We Christians have erred in focusing on this issue and abortion to the exclusion of the underlying problem. While we’re right on these two issues and we’re right in actively opposing abortion and homosexual marriage, we’ve lost focus on the real problems. These are two fold. First while we focused on abortion and homosexuals, the church got progressively more liberal. This is particularly true at the nation’s Seminaries. To counter act that, many conservative evangelical churches have adopted an anti-intellectual stance. That has only hurt our cause more. We have to stand up to these people on an intellectual level, otherwise we’ll continue to lose the next generation of clergy.

Second, we stopped focusing on education. This is perhaps the bigger issue. We have legions of conservative Christians pretending like their 8  year olds are salt and light in the nation’s government schools. In reality, such parents are handing their kids over to Satan for six to eight hours a day. The notion that such young children can lead people to Christ is ludicrous. In reality, they’re being indoctrinated all day and you won’t be able to counteract that reading the Bible for 20 minutes after dinner. It should hardly be surprising that young people are fleeing the church in droves. When they were taught an anti-Christian worldview in government schools, why ever would we think they’d stick around the church as adults?

As the nation moves down the slow path to Sodom, we Christians have to get our house in order. We cannot allow ourselves to adopt worldly practices or force them into scripture in order to be liked by the world. We have to protect our children by providing them with a high quality, intellectual Christian education. Believers need to reject the last century of progressive education and return to classic Christian education. This can be done at home or in private church schools. Most importantly we need to remove our kids from government schools. If there is any lesson to be learned from the Supreme Court’s upcoming decision and from polling on homosexual marriage it’s that the progressive left gets what it wants by indoctrinating children at government schools. No Christian ought to let their children become a victim of such evil tomfoolery.

Science Explains Away Homosexuality Via Genetics

December 13, 2012 4 Comments

Self proclaimed scientists have declared they may have figured out why people turn out to be homosexuals. Rather than it being a purely genetic trait, which according to the left’s beloved evolution would have knocked off all the gays years ago, homosexual tendency is due to genetic epi-marks. These epi-marks help control how various genes are interpreted and expressed. It was a matter of time before a group of “scientists” came up with an explanation like this. The left has been desperate to call homosexual acts normal for the better part of a generation. Science is always their go to for turning the abnormal into normal. The problem though is that the evolutionary science the left relies on denies a soul and it denies human choice.

Several years ago science declared they had found a gene which for those who have it will cause them to be drunkards. We’re supposed to feel bad for drunks, we pretend like it’s a disease by calling it alcoholism. However we didn’t change drunk driving laws to accommodate the poor souls stuck with these gene. Most of us recognize that whether you have this gene or not, each person makes a choice whether to consume alcohol. Like with most things in life, we’re responsible for the consequences of our actions. Despite having this gene a drunk is responsible for his drinking and he isn’t able to get out of a drunk driving or other alcohol related offense based on his genes.

With the left sodomy is sacred. If homosexuals have a gene or some sort of epi-mark that is strong enough to make them homosexual then they’re off limits, we cannot criticize them in any way. Suddenly these people are deemed normal and not responsible in any way for their actions. They’re born this way after all and how dare you criticize it. Yet the drunk isn’t afforded such protections by anyone, much less the left.

We are responsible for all of the actions we engage in whether they’re positive or negative. We have a soul and a conscience which matter more than any gene. Science has spent the better part of the last two decades trying to explain everything away via genes. No doubt some of their work is very good when it comes to various diseases. But when they start getting into the world of behavior there becomes a major problem because science denies human choice. The dependency science has on evolutionary theory is evident here. The world can be explained away through a series of genes, our individual behavior explained away through genetics. We aren’t truly responsible, it’s just in our genes. The denial of a soul, of a creator is on display when science tries to explain human action via genes.

We Christians cannot get caught up in the science worship of the left. We should never seek to explain human behavior via genetics. It really shouldn’t matter to us one way or another whether someone has a gene which gives them a greater tendency to be a drunk, homosexual, whoremonger, liar or pick your sin. For believers, our genes don’t dictate these things. The fall of Adam has forever polluted mankind and his genes with the stain of sin and of death. It really should surprise none of us that genes have been polluted with the death of sin. But our genes are hardly an excuse for our own choices and actions. Surely we cannot go to God on judgment day and tell him ‘well it’s really all Adam’s fault not mine at all.’ While the science worshippers try to explain away our evil via genes, we must repent and recognize that we alone are responsible for our actions.

Joe Paterno: Typical Government Bureaucrat

November 9, 2011 2 Comments

We don’t normally discuss sports on this blog and we aren’t really going to discuss sports in this post. The situation with the football program at Penn State is less about sports and more a lesson in government bureaucracy. It’s also a good example of what happens when supposedly decent men keep quiet.

For those unaware, former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was arrested over the weekend and charged with molesting eight children. Sandusky had retired in 1999 but was allowed to keep an office on campus and was given other perks. He had apparently been accused of inappropriate conduct in 1998 and one wonders if that didn’t lead to his retirement in 1999. Especially considering Sandusky was only 55 when he retired. In 2002 a Penn State assistant coach apparently witnessed Sandusky sodomize a boy in a locker room. The assistant coach told head coach Joe Paterno that he witnessed something inappropriate, though it isn’t clear if he told Paterno exactly what he witnesses. Paterno then went up the chain of command and told the athletic director Tim Curley about the incident.

The problem for Joe Paterno is that he didn’t do anything else other than go up the chain of command like a typical government bureaucrat. His graduate assistant coach did the same thing. This is what government does, move problems up the chain thus ridding yourself of a problem. But this isn’t just annoying paperwork or some trivial matter. We’re talking about an old man sodomizing a boy in the Penn State locker room. A rational person doesn’t witness this sort of thing and pass it on to his head coach, who then passes it on to his boss. A rational person may do that but they’ll also call the police. Joe Paterno, supposedly the moral king around Penn State, should have called the police not just moved the case up the chain.

I suspect that the 1998 accusations led to Sandusky’s forced retirement. If this is so Joe Paterno certainly would have known about it. Which makes his inaction in 2002 all the worse. He would have known Sandusky posed a threat, even if prior to 2002 Paterno believes the accusations overblown when he heard about the boy being sodomized by Sandusky that ought to have confirmed that his former assistant was a sexual predator.

Instead of going to the police or at least sending his graduate assistant coach off to the police, Joe Patenro did nothing. The end result of Patenro doing nothing is that more boys were sexually assaulted on Penn State’s campus. Joe Paterno isn’t responsible for the sexual assaults, only Jerry Sandusky is responsible for what he has done. But Paterno could have stopped this a long time ago and his inaction put Sandusky in position to molest boys. Joe Patnero, like most government bureaucrats, did the least amount of work possible. He told his boss and from all accounts never followed up and never did anything to protect children.

Having said all of this, it would be ridiculous to fire Patenro during the middle of the season. Joe Paterno has been the head coach at Penn State since the 60′s. Until this inaction he’s had a more or less stellar reputation. He did everything a government bureaucrat is supposed to do and it would be ridiculous for the bureaucracy to punish him for not doing more when the bureaucracy frowns upon employees doing more. Paterno deserves to retire at the end of the season, which is likely what he would have done anyway considering he’s coached from the press box all year.

The real lesson here is that when good men remain silent bad things will escalate. If you see someone molesting a kid, call the cops. Don’t just go up the chain of command. Don’t assume that someone else will do their job. Take control yourself and call the cops. The result of Paterno’s inaction is that at least four or five kids were molested. It’s possible that many more were in fact sexually abused by Jerry Sandusky, more victims have come forward in the past few days. Paterno did all that was necessary within the government bureaucracy at Penn State. But that just isn’t enough.

14 Year Old Suspended For Opposing Homosexuality In German Class

September 23, 2011 4 Comments

14 year old Texas high school student Dakota Ary(we’ll reserve judgment on a mother who would name her son Dakota) was suspended from school for telling a friend in class he thought homosexuality was wrong. Ary was in German class wherein the teacher appears to have led a discussion, in German, about religion and homosexuality. It appears that the school suspended him not for talking to his friend but because he opposed homosexuality. The boy was apparently warned by the school not to voice opposition to homosexuality in class.

This entire situation exposes the level of indoctrination taking place in government schools today with regards to homosexuals. This a 9th grade German class, why exactly are they talking about homosexuality. In German no less. This teacher appears to have a history of forcing this issue on students, going so far as to post pictures in his classroom of men kissing. While everyone is up in arms over the absurdity of the suspension, the real issue is that the topic of homosexuality is even being discussed in a German class for 14 year olds.

The topic of homosexuality has no place in the government schools, much less in German class. Yet it’s a topic that is mandated for favorable indoctrination at the government schools in California for children as young as 5. There is an effort taking place in the government schools to make homosexuality normal, which it is not. Not only are they attempting to make it normal, they’re attempting to exalt it. For Christians this is yet another reason why we shouldn’t be sending our children to government schools. For taxpayers, one wonders why we put up with these schools wasting time and money indoctrinating students on fringe issues when the kids can’t read or do math at grade level.

Nothing of course will be done about this teacher who is wasting time in German class pushing a homosexual agenda. Tenure likely protects him, which should outrage all of us. Tenure was meant to protect the academic freedom of college professors. It was never meant to protect grade school teachers from being fired for inappropriate conduct. There ought not be academic freedom in K-12 education. There is no need for it, teachers have no business teaching anything other than what the school has told them to teach. Tenure only protects bad teachers from being fired and it protects radical leftists from being fired for indoctrinating students.

Dakota Ary is yet another victim of the radical homosexual agenda which seeks to demonize anyone, particularly Christians, who oppose it. These people are trying to glorify that which is evil and unseemly. That schools don’t have any problem punishing children who dare express an opposing viewpoint ought to concern everyone. Especially so when we’re talking about German class. Ary’s suspension was ridiculous on its face but the topic of discussion in a 9th grade German class was more ridiculous. If you think this isn’t happening at your government school, you’re sadly mistaken.

What Is The Church To Do With Homosexuals?

July 9, 2011 3 Comments

It appears that the Presbyterian Church USA will be allowing openly homosexual pastors. This after several other mainline protestant denominations have ordained homosexuals over the last decade. Meanwhile a church in New Jersey is offering a summer camp for homosexual teenagers. What we are witnessing in the church today is a move away from scripture, which clearly condemns homosexual acts and lust as sin. These churches are moving in the direction of cultural marxism, which seeks to separate us from our traditional Christian heritage. There can be nothing more separating for us than to glorify and accept sin.

Leviticus calls homosexual acts an abomination. In Romans Paul writes:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Romans 1:21-27

It is clear that homosexual acts and lust are forbidden by scripture. These denominations, professing to be ever so wise and tolerate, are nothing but fools. We must call on them to repent and turn from this wickedness. Likewise, we should also call on homosexuals to repent and turn from their wickedness.

What are we to do with the so-called gay Christian? There is no magic cure all for those who find themselves mired in the sin of homosexuality, just like there is no magic cure all for the drunk or heterosexual fornicator who burns in his lust. We in the church must be willing to accept the sincere repentance of homosexual sinners and like any other believer we must hold them to account when they sin. Like we wouldn’t tolerate fornication among single heterosexuals, we must not tolerate homosexual sexual relations. But we must be willing to forgive and we must we willing to help them overcome their sin, just like we would for any other sinner, ourselves included.

We in the church have spent to much time demonizing homosexuals, to the point where at many churches even repentant homosexuals are unwelcome.  This is a grave mistake. I understand that the radical homosexual movement is perhaps the biggest threat to the Christian church today. We should no doubt fight back against the absurdity of homosexual marriage and the normalization of homosexual acts. But at the same time, we have to be careful not to  demonize these sinners to the point that they never consider seeking repentance.

There is no hope in the homosexual death style. There is however hope in Jesus Christ and we ought not deny that hope to homosexuals who seek repentance. The church is open to all kinds of sinners who seek mercy and forgiveness through the blood of Christ. Surely homosexuals must be offered the same mercy and forgiveness. We must never tolerate their sin, in fact we shouldn’t tolerate any sin. But we must open the church up to homosexuals and work with them on their sin. Accepting their sin as normal isn’t going to do them or the church any good. But showing them love, kindness and mercy will do both the sinner and the church good. Christ calls on us to do just this.

Radical Homosexual Agenda Taught To 5 Year Olds

June 6, 2011 16 Comments

Out in California the government schools are pushing the homosexual agenda hard. One aspect of this is by pushing the idea that we can choose our own gender. I generally hate the term gender as it is a term that has been taken over by the left. There are only two sexes, but according to the radical homosexual activists there can be a dozen genders. I will however use the term gender so as to not confuse anyone.

In any event, the government schools are pushing the idea of “gender identity” to kindergarteners. They begin by asking these kids whether various toys are “boy toys” or “girl toys.” They then are read a radical homosexual activist book disguised as “anti-bullying” called “My Princess Boy.” This book is meant to confuse 5 year olds about gender issues. The purpose here is to normalize that which is abnormal, namely boys dressing up and acting like little girls. Not to be out done, the schools are teaching 4th graders it’s ok to be a boy one day and a girl the next. Once again, all of this is meant to confuse children and move then further away from Christian and western views on gender identity.

It’s very easy to dismiss what happens in California as radical and crazy. But historically the government schools across the nation have taken their cues from what the schools in California do. It’s interestingly the same thing with law, when the California legislature passes radical legislation suddenly that legislation is passed in just about every other state. The left-wing bureaucracy throughout the nation looks to California for inspiration and guidance. So what goes on in California ought to be of great interest to those of us who don’t live on the left coast.

These issues are important because what these leftists are trying to do is separate children from the morality of their parents and the basic traditional Christian morality this nation has subscribed to for centuries. In other words, the schools are pushing cultural marxism. Worse, these leftists are pushing a deviant sin as not only normal but desirable for little children. We’re not talking about a bunch of adults in college, we’re talking about kids as young as 5. This also isn’t a matter of tolerance and acceptance. Should people be expected to accept and tolerate sinful deviancy as though it were normal?

There is surely an agenda out there to normalize and even glamorize homosexuals and other sexual deviants. This is little more than a radical branch of feminism. Feminism wants to not just raise the lot of women in society, it also wants to tear down men. What better way to do that than destroy masculinity by teaching boys it’s not only normal but desirable to dress in pretty pink dresses and act like girls. This agenda is godless and lacks Christian morality, in fact it lacks any traditional morality. It separates children from the past and tears down traditional society. Whoever would want to such a thing? The radical progressive left. They have always been quite up front about such things.

Parents need to be aware of what’s going on here. The best way to fight back against this propaganda is to remove your children from government schools. Some people will insist that fighting back within the schools is the way to go. I’m here to tell you there is no fighting back against the entrenched, left-wing government school bureaucracy. The way to fight back is to remove your kids, and thus remove funding for your kids, from the government schools. Homeschooling is the best way to ensure your kids aren’t subjected to the homosexual agenda. There are many private schools that won’t subject kids to such propaganda as well.

While we must fight back against the normalization of deviant homosexuals, we must also take pains not shut these people out of the church. Homosexuals are sinners like everyone else and there is a place for such sinners in the church, so like as they repent and flee their sin. We in the church must be waiting with open arms to accept repentant homosexuals and we must be willing to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them. We must never draw a line in the sand and declare that once someone identifies as a homosexual or engages in homosexual acts that they can never be part of the church. How wicked and un-Christ like such a position is. We must boldly tell these people that they are sinners in need of Jesus Christ, we must never back down from the Biblical position. But we must never shut the church door on this group of sinners, or in fact any group of sinners. We must fight the propaganda being taught to school children, but we must also go to great lengths to offer the alternative to death in sin, which is of course life in Jesus Christ.
