Gay is abomination

There are some key Bible verses about homosexuality to understand the biblical view of gay relations. The most commonly quoted Bible verses are Leviticus and Leviticus , which state that it is an abomination for a man to lie with another man as he would with a woman. Homosexuality is abomination. The Christian Right says so all the time, and non-religious LGBT activists say it too, to relegate religion to humanity’s dustheap.

After all, isn’t that what it says in the Bible? No—and progressive religionists should not use the word.

Using other biblical texts as a type of intrabiblical commentary provides the rational behind the biblical prohibition of homosexuality and why it is called, “an abomination.”. Leviticus – Homosexuality is an abomination in God’s sight. 2. Leviticus on death punishment for homosexuality. 3. Jude describes God’s punishment for Sexual immorality. 4. Ezekiel 2. Romans confirming Homosexual is a sin.

Old Testament verses explained. 1. Christians must always start with the Bible in order to hear God’s Word on any subject. His commands are not optional, and he states clearly, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination” (Leviticus ). People of Jewish faith should "give up their lives" rather than follow new government guidelines to teach children about LGBT relationships, an ultra-orthodox Jewish judge has said.

He was speaking in response to guidance issued this year requiring school curriculums to teach an awareness of LGBT issues. Mr Krausz is a retired Jewish judge, known as a dayan, who was involved with Manchester Beth Din , a body which oversees matters of Jewish family law and other issues within the Jewish community. Manchester has a gay village area and hosts an annual Pride celebration.

Mr Krausz was angered by an Ofsted decision to give Beis Yaakov, an orthodox Jewish girls' school in neighbouring Salford, a "requires improvement" rating partly because pupils were not being taught about sexual orientation and gender identity. As reported in the Jewish Chronicle , it prompted him to send leaflets to Jewish faith schools declaring all Jews were "obliged to give up one's life rather than comply" with the guidance.

It's the position of the whole orthodox community. We must be prepared to sacrifice our lives. He added while "we don't try to offend anybody", the laws of the Torah could not be changed "even if that means giving up our lives or going to prison". Mr Krausz urged Jews to "stand firm" and described the government's guidelines as a "terrible decree". Rabbi Charley Baginsky, of Liberal Judaism, a group that promotes a progressive form of the religion, said Mr Krausz did not represent most Jews.

She added: "These views are not held by the vast majority of the Jewish community and the vast majority of people of faith in general. Rabbi Warren Elf, of Southend and District Reform Synagogue, said a recent conference in Manchester had brought together faith leaders to discuss how to deliver diverse education more effectively. He said it was "important to listen and understand what is actually being taught".

Manchester Beth Din said Mr Krausz was no longer associated with it but declined to comment further.
