Heidelberg Disputation, pt. 21A

"A theologian of the Cross, CALLS a thing WHAT it IS."

The Boy Scouts of America now welcome predatory sodomite youth; this policy will ONLY lead to welcoming predatory sodomite adults. This is incompatible with Holy Scripture, the Lutheran Confessions, and Christian faith. Scouting henceforth, is IN-compatible with Christians, and with the LCMS.

Period.

For 37 years, I enjoyed membership there; long before I was a Lutheran - long before I was in the LCMS - long before I was a Pastor. I achieved the Arrow of Light Award and the rank of Eagle Scout. I earned numerous awards as an adult - Woodbadge, District Award of Merit, Scouter's Training Award, Vigil Honor in the Order of the Arrow, amongst many others. I even worked for the BSA for several years, including while a student at CTS - Ft. Wayne. But on May 23, I, my sons, and ALL MORALLY STRAIGHT Scouts & Scouters, were voted OUT of the BSA. Did OUR morality change? Or did the BSA's? WE - the MORALLY STRAIGHT - WERE voted OUT.

I intend to burn my Eagle medal, all my uniforms, and every badge, patch, award, plaque, & certificate I was ever awarded, and mail them BACK to the BSA - postage due. I will NEVER allow a PREDATORY SODOMITE to disgrace anything I ever earned.

For those who continue to charter BSA units, keep these MANY things in mind;

1) The BSA formulated this policy last fall, and foisted upon the membership, for their 30 pieces of silver from AT&T, and other pro-homosexual businesses, who - like termites - had wormed their way into the BSA's national executive committee.

2) EVERY PROFESSIONAL SCOUTER WAS FORCED TO SIGN A PRO-HOMOSEXUAL PLEDGE OF SUPPORT, TO KEEP THEIR JOB. Over 100 professionals nationwide REFUSED to sign, and were FIRED.

3) WHEN (not, "if") you catch two teenagers making out in the corner of your church basement during a Scout meeting, and you attempt to break it up, YOU - and YOUR CONGREGATION - WILL BE SUED for sexual harassment, discrimination, & the like, and the SYNOD WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT YOU LEGALLY! Our classical position notwithstanding, your Scouting charter will trump that (since obviously you KNEW the position of the BSA, and decided to keep the unit anyway), and legally, you will be ON YOUR OWN.

4) Pastors - you ARE the shepherd of your flock - and as such, you MUST sometimes FIGHT OFF THE WOLVES. WILL YOU ALLOW the predatory sodomites to prey on YOUR YOUTH? Your members? Your congregation's good name & standing in the community? Because you are INVITING the wolves INTO your fold, by remaining with the BSA.

Offer your units the ability to BECOME Trail Life USA units, or DUMP THEM. IMMEDIATELY. As you SHOULD'VE done on May 23rd, when the BSA ceased being MORALLY STRAIGHT.

What hath light, to do with darkness? What hath the LCMS to do with the BSA, and their PREDATORY SODOMITES? NOTHING at all.

Warning Against False Teachers of the Law

3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work--which is by faith. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm. 8 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
