Sex and the Church

A diocese in Los Angeles has elected the second openly gay bishop in the global Anglican Church, an issue that has caused deep division.

It is very clear that the homosexuality alluded to in the Torah as an abomination only refers to Jewish men who are obligated through the Torah to refrain from complete pleasure–the inner reason for the circumcision. The doing of the 613 Commandments requires Jewish males to be devoted to God’s Will more than man’s pleasure.

Sexuality is left in the hands of the people to regulate because there is no good or bad sexuality between consenting human beings. The Church has taken an extreme view substantiating it with a false rendering of the Torah.

Similarly, issues of life and death like abortion and Hell and blatantly incorrect according to the Torah on which their views are based; according to the Torah a pregnancy can be terminated within 40 days and not be an abortion–Hell is just not true, a distortion of Ghahinom a place where the soul goes for 11 months after to death to forget physicality.

The church is based in a belief system; we believe what we don’t know–the Cabala explains how knowing and essence are interchangeable. The Torah states Man knew woman; he knew her, he did not believe in her.
