“I reject “kneeling at Satan’s altar” as a description for this.”
Sounds like you reject the idea that God is Sovereign and will judge...but then, modern America believes “That’s kind of an old testament fundamentalist phraiseeical view”. But a nation that gives God the middle finger salute cannot claim His protection or blessings. Nor can an organization, nor a man.
There is nothing natural, admirable or acceptable about a man sticking his penis in a man’s butt. Butts are not designed for penis insertion. Even most heathen can figure that out, as can most stallions, lions, coyotes, etc. This reveals the total corruption of morals in the BSA & America.
You don’t have to LIKE God as Judge, but He is.
“They knew all the time that there is a God, yet they refused to acknowledge him as such, or to thank him for what he is or does. Thus they became fatuous in their argumentations, and plunged their silly minds still further into the dark.
Behind a facade of “wisdom” they became just fools, fools who would exchange the glory of the eternal God for an imitation image of a mortal man, or of creatures that run or fly or crawl.
They gave up God: and therefore God gave them up—to be the playthings of their own foul desires in dishonouring their own bodies.
These men deliberately forfeited the truth of God and accepted a lie, paying homage and giving service to the creature instead of to the Creator, who alone is worthy to be worshipped for ever and ever, amen. God therefore handed them over to disgraceful passions. Their women exchanged the normal practices of sexual intercourse for something which is abnormal and unnatural. Similarly the men, turning from natural intercourse with women, were swept into lustful passions for one another. Men with men performed these shameful horrors, receiving, of course, in their own personalities the consequences of sexual perversity.
Moreover, since they considered themselves too high and mighty to acknowledge God, he allowed them to become the slaves of their degenerate minds, and to perform unmentionable deeds.” - Romans 1, which is NOT in the Old Testament
I’m glad we have YOU as the model of perfection.
Oh, wait......(hint: don’t go casting any first stones if you know what I mean....)
