\nThe Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah<\/em><\/p>\n

COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is formally proposing to accept homosexuals as scouts:<\/p>\n

19 April 2013<\/p>\n

The Boy Scouts of America<\/a> announced Friday a proposal to allow gay youths to join the program, a move that, if approved, would mark a dramatic shift for one of the nation’s oldest and most traditional youth organizations…<\/p>\n

Supporters of lifting the ban include several prominent Scouting board members, corporate funders, President Obama<\/a> and his Republican challenger in last year’s election Mitt Romney<\/a>, several U.S. senators, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg<\/a> and others. Petitions purportedly bearing 1.4 million signatures were presented at Scouting headquarters in Texas.<\/p>\n

But the ban retained strong backing among important Scouting constituencies, including the Southern Baptist Convention and conservative groups like the Family Research Council.<\/p>\n

The BSA proposal here is another indication that less and less in the USA understand biblical morality or the consequences of immorality.<\/p>\n

In New Zealand, sadly as expected (see\u00a0New Zealand seems to determined to recognize \u2018same-sex\u2019 marriage<\/a> and New Zealand having worse drought in 30 years while it tries to legalize \u2018same-sex\u2019 marriage. What did Amos write?<\/a>), it has approved “homosexual marriage.”<\/p>\n

19 April 2013<\/p>\n

New Zealand became the 13th country in the world to approve same-sex marriage and the first in the Asia-Pacific region…The legislation is expected to come into effect in New Zealand in August…Other countries to legalise same-sex marriage include Uruguay, which passed laws last week, as well as Canada, South Africa, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Argentina, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark.<\/p>\n

Both the moves in the USA and NZ are consistent with declines in morality, and an increased disrespect for the Bible and the warnings in it.\u00a0 Many in Australia are excited about this move in New Zealand (http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/travel\/new-zealand\/8572708\/Tourisms-rainbow-connection<\/a>), but Australia has so far resisted making the same mistake (though they are looking into it ).<\/p>\n

Notice why God allowed Sodom and Gomorrah to be destroyed:<\/p>\n

7 as Sodom and Gomorrah<\/strong>, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example<\/strong>, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 7)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

6\u2026the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes<\/strong>, condemned them to destruction, making them an example<\/strong> to those who afterward would live ungodly (2 Peter 2:6)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

God had the example recorded in the Bible so that people would realize that promoting homosexuality is not appropriate and is dangerous. Notice something else from the Bible:<\/p>\n

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man \u2014 and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.<\/strong> 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them<\/strong>. (Romans 1:18-32)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Leaders in the USA and NZ are approving activities that should not be approved.\u00a0 The Bible also teaches:<\/p>\n

12\u2026Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths.\u201d (Isaiah 3:12)<\/p>\n

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Keeping the Ten Commandments reflects love. Breaking them and\/or condoning those that do is evil. This should be clear to those who believe the God of the Bible.<\/p>\n

But many in the USA and other Anglo-dominated lands seem inclined to truly listen to those who are strongly advocating wrong changes in the moral direction of the land. National repentance is the only real long-term hope for the Anglo-peoples (and it seems to be too late for that). <\/em><\/p>\n
