The second Interest Center was presented without interference because the devil was defeated. One response to the boy scouts not allowing homosexual leaders, given in the second Interest Center, could have been misunderstood and is therefore repeated at the end of this response.

For those in the first or second Interest Center, left in complete confusion or painful misunderstanding, we thank God for the opportunity to give this response via the world-wide web.

• God desires all (homosexual and heterosexual) to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the Truth (I Timothy 2:4).
  
• All (homosexual and heterosexual) have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)

HOWEVER: Homosexual and heterosexual people who choose to live in sinful rebellion against God and His Word (they do not believe God's Word, or they change it to justify their sin), separate themselves from God’s grace, forgiveness and salvation.

• THE LAW: Yes, sadly and tragically, at one point, God does give up those who live in sinful rebellion against Him and His Word to their sinful desires. (Romans 1:24-25).
  
• THE GOSPEL: The wonderful Good News, is that homosexual and heterosexual people who continue to fall into the same or other kinds of temptation and sin, but fully realize their need for a Savior to forgive their sins (over and over again, as many times as they require - Matthew 18:22),live in God’s grace and forgiveness and receive His salvation. They are saved by grace, through faith. It is a gift of God, not dependent on anything they do or do not do, but on what God has done for all believers, through Christ. (Ephesians 2:8).

Which homosexual people will not be saved? Homosexual people, who through sinful rebellion choose to separated themselves from God’s grace, forgiveness and salvation by continuing the practice of homosexuality or lesbianism in thought, word or deed.

Once again we need to express our appreciation for those who shared their faith and God’s Word in this Interest Center. While this Interest Center was chaotic,confusing and even frightening, we were eye-witnesses of the power God's Word has over Satan. Also, we do not believe that the clear and precise explanation above would have been given if the questions and concerns expressed in this Interest Center had not been so passionate or dangerously confusing and misunderstood.

No specific answer was given to this question, rather two questions were asked:
• (1) Did the Boy Scouts make this determination or rule because they hate homosexuals?
• (2) Did the Boy Scouts make this determination or rule because they want to make a statement of faith against the sin or practice of homosexuality?

Participants of this Interest Center were asked to answer these two questions to help them make a determination as to the right or wrong of the boy scouts rule to exclude homosexuals from their leadership. The right or wrong of this issue was not determined in this Interest Center and will not be determined on this Web Site.
