The issue at stake is the public *flaunting* of homosexuality, and the seeking of approval and acceptance for those who agitate for societal legitimization of that "abominable" conduct.<br /><br />Rav Aharon Kotler OB"M, a leading Torah Sage of the previous generation, warned decades ago that the greatest threat we Jews face is not intermarriage or assimilation, but rather distortion of the Torah (Mishnas Reb Aharon 1:2:3:6).<br /><br />We are Jews only by virtue of the Torah with which The Creator has graced us. To invert His Torah into a means of rebellion against Him, threatens our very identity, and even survival - spiritual and physical.<br /><br />The Almighty Himself is The True Source of all true compassion. He Himself brands the homosexual act as a capital crime, and an "abomination" ("to'aivah").<br /><br />To even insinuate any denigration for those who exhibit the Torah-required ATTITUDE required by that term - as it appears in Lev. 18:22 and 20:13 - smacks of heresy, ke'firah. <br /><br />And to arrogate the "compassion" pulpit in doing so brazenly imputes (sic) the True Compassion of our Creator, Who warns us to shun that which is truly harmful for us. <br /> <br />Any "Rabbi" who doesn't understand THAT - understands <br />NOTHING about authentic Judaism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
