Gay Marriage

The California Supreme Court will hand down a ruling on Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage today. The ruling decides whether voters had the right to amend the state Constitution to solidify the definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

The Torah is very specific about the question of marriage and sexual orientation; marriage is a contract between a man and a woman, but these laws in the Torah are meant only for the Jewish People whose men are commanded not to be sexual with another man–woman have no problem or prohibition against being with another woman.

One of the seven commandments given to the world by Noah 4000 years ago was to make laws concerning sexuality; meaning there are no specific laws and each community has the right enact their own boundaries.

The 52 percent who voted to restrain the definition of marriage to a man and a woman is indicative of twice YHVH/26 and also the gematria of Behama/Animal. Our planet is called in the Zohar-Book of Secret Tavel, a term used to indicated the commingling of animal and human because it is on this planet where the animal of the earth and the human of the soul combine.

Much of life depends upon how we dance the amoral animal with the human soul.
