Southern Baptists Consider Resolution on Scouting

Southern Baptist convention leaders have proposed a resolution expressing their opposition to the Boy Scouts of America's new policy allowing gay scouts.  The resolution also calls on for the Boy Scouts to remove from executive and board leadership the individuals who earlier sought to allow gays as both members and leaders without consulting the many religious groups that sponsor Scout troops.  While the resolution doesn't recommend that Southern Baptists drop ties with the Scouts, it expresses support for those churches and families that decide to do so. 

I have a perfect resolution for the Southern Baptist Convention.  The convention should have no ties with the Boy Scouts.  Any previous ties that the convention has held with the Boy Scouts should be immediately dropped.  NO qualms about it.  They shouldn't sponsor them nor be a part of their organization given the fact the current leadership of the Boy Scouts of America wants to welcome homosexual Scouts as leaders.  Not only that but any of the leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention that still supports the Scouts or is sympathetic to the Scouts (since they're welcoming homosexual Scouts into the organization), then they shouldn't be serving in any capacity in the Southern Baptist Convention.  Sodomy is an abomination in God's eyes and Romans 1 makes that abundantly clear.  The church has no business in yoking up with any organization that sanctions anything that's a direct violation to God's word.  Sodomy is a direct violation of God's word.  The Southern Baptist Convention needs to drop all support from the Boy Scouts of America.  I know that sounds bold but that's the truth.  God says the church isn't to mix with the world.  You can't support an organization that sanctions something as abominable as sodomy.
