The Supreme Court?

The Supreme Court?

     I have been asked to respond to the recent US Supreme Court decision.

     For good reason Hashem calls homosexual relations an abomination. “You shall not lie with a man as one lies with a woman, it is an abomination.”[i]

     The intense sexual desire that comes upon males with puberty is actually for the good. Hashem puts it there for a very holy purpose. He wants His World to be filled with healthy families. Without that strong sexual desire very few men would marry and go through all of the struggles that married life brings.

     When Hashem first created Adam he saw that it was not good for man to be alone so He created Eve, the first woman. Remember, the Torah is not only a history book but a guide for each of us in every generation. Eve was taken from Adam’s body instead of being created a separate being. But, why? Hashem could just as easily have created her from the earth as He did Adam.

     As soon as Adam saw Eve he knew that she was his. He said of her that she was the bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh. The Torah says of this; “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and cling to his wife and they shall become one flesh.”[ii] 

     A marriage is not the coming together of two equal partners. A marriage is the coming together of two halves to make a complete one.

     The perverting of the sexual desire does not produce a family. A perverted relationship comes merely to satisfy lusts. The Torah tells us not to follow our hearts and our eyes as they will lead us astray. Our intellect must rule our heart.

     The US Supreme Court’s decision comes to satisfy the hearts of a very small twisted minority. But the real problem is that their immoral decision has spread to the entire nation. The law-abiding children in America will be raised believing that homosexuality is normal! This is a huge error.

     The fact is, as all will see in the end, the US Supreme Court is not really the Supreme Court. On the day of our true judgment we will stand before the Supreme Judge. And guess what? He is going to judge us according to His Torah and not according to the US Supreme Court’s perverted ruling.
