The city of Philadelphia has decided to punish the Boy Scouts of America because it will not allow homosexuals to serve as Scout Leaders. City officials said they will charge the Cradle of Liberty Scouts Council $200,000 a year to use the city-owned headquarters. The Council was paying $1 per year (since 1928). The city owns the land on which the Council's 1928 Beaux Arts building sits.

The city says it is charging the scouts $200,000 a year because the scouts discriminate against homosexuals. But the city finds nothing wrong with their discrimination against the scouts because of the scouts' belief.

The action by city officials means that 30 new Cub Scout packs won't be organized, and that 800 needy kids will not be going to the Council's summer camp if the city charges them $200,000.

The Supreme Court ruled in 2000 that the scouts, as a private group, have a First Amendment right to bar homosexuals from membership.

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.1 John 2:23

If you do not believe Jesus is God you do not have the Father either.

Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 2 John 1:9

Friend I just say this because i want you to know the true Jesus of the Bible. If you do not you do not have salvation. Salvation is in Jesus alone.

John 1:3 says that Jesus created "all things", but in Isa 44:24, God says that he "by myself created the heavens and the earth" and asks the question "Who was with me?" when the heavens and the earth were created. How can this be since if Jesus had been created by God, then he would have been with God when everything else was created?

I just discovered that King James was GAY! And to top it off, he was NOT A CHRISTIAN!

Why are we reading this man's trash novel? There has to be a better non-gay, totally Christian version of the Bible that we can all agree to and authorize as our new Bible.

What version would you recommend if we are successful in boycotting King James?

not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit Titus 3:5

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8,9

Do you see what I am saying my friend? No work can get you in to heaven. God will not get all the glory this way if you earn any part of your salvation. You have to get rid of you pride and humble yourself to God. Repent and believe the gospel. Put your faith in Jesus alone to save you. Jesus is tne only way to heaven. I would not want to be in anyones shoes who told God they deserve to go to heaven because they were baptized!

So often we only look at "love" and think that is what this means, but I challenge you to make it real in your life, JESUS DID NOT OWN A 3 BEDROOM 2 BATH HOME AND HAVE 2 CARS . He had no horse, no donkey, no house/home of his own. He had no frig full of food or such of His time ??? And most of the time He was ignored, treated as an outcast by most of the people ????? Do you live like that ? And if not, are you really living close to how Jesus did ?
1 John 2 4-6 If someone claims, "I know him well!" but doesn't keep his commandments, he's obviously a liar. His life doesn't match his words. But the one who keeps God's word is the person in whom we see God's mature love. This is the only way to be sure we're in God. Anyone who claims to be intimate with God ought to live the same kind of life Jesus lived.

to sin: because Satan tempted them or somehow caused them to sin?

I'm not asking about any type of original sin, I'm saying if you steal a dollar from someone today, is it Satan that made you do it?

would you be smart enough to not end up in jail and live civilly?

is it possible to live your life logically with common sense and good morals?

or do you need to be saved and believe in something in order to live your life?

Be ye reconciled to God, not Jesus nor Christ,
but by, and through, Jesus-->Christ--> to God.

Romans 6:11
alive unto God through Jesus-->Christ-->Alive.
Romans 6:23
gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus-->Christ-->EL

2Corinthians 5:18-20
And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us TO HIMSELF by Jesus-->Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in CHRIST, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for CHRIST, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, BE YE RECONCILED TO GOD.

When "reconciled to God", then no longer a need for any
mediation of mediator, nor for intercession of intercessor.

But there is still the matter of "holiness with sobriety",
can you make it to the end without another drink of law?

May you all make it to the end written alive unto God(Grace)

this was stated by a christian earlier

"m chrtistan we dont think scientist r evil we kno god made cures for a reason but the evolution theroy is wut we dont lyk
( I MEEN HOW IN DA HELL CAN WE COME FROM A MONKEY)"

this is what wikipedia says:
Apes are the members of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates, which includes humans. Under the current classification system there are two families of hominoids:

* the family Hylobatidae consists of 4 genera and 13 species of gibbons, including the Lar Gibbon and the Siamang, collectively known as the "lesser apes"
* the family Hominidae consisting of orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans,[1][2] collectively known as the "great apes".

A few other primates, such as the Barbary Ape, have the word "ape" in their common names, but they are not regarded as true apes by most authorities.

Except for gorillas and most humans, all true apes are agile climbers of trees.
