Rabbi Steve Greenberg: Trembling Before G-d

www.filmsthatchangetheworld.com
Do you suffer under the verse of Leviticus: "Thou shalt not lie with a male as one lies with a woman"? In 1996, Rabbi Greenberg challenged the portion of Leviticus that has defined the sexual prohibition of homosexuality in the Jewish community.

I have deep sympathy for LGBT people, but to say that hearing peoples' stories will change Rabbis' interpretation of the verse is ludicrous. The verse and its interpretation is pretty clear cut.

[hross233]

imagine what it takes to twist what G-d has written to make it what you want it to mean. If this is true then its okay to murder a jew? its okay to lie? surely we can change the meaning to make it okay? Who are you fooling? Yourself. man makes a lie a truth. worse, he lies to himself. else why can't I change the scripture to do anything I want and change the truth into any thing I want. I can make the Torah to mean not for jews, i can make it mean whatever I want. whats next?

@hineni53 Yes but I mean imagine you could also murder someone than you decide not to murder someone, etc.. abracadabra...

@prepstarr25 If homosexuality is a choice then turn gay then straight then gay etc...abracadabra....

@Gullytale The torah (old testament) clearly prohibits homosexuality. The torah prohibits live and let live mentality. All Abrahamic traditions support the bible. The world generally supports the bible as well as it is reflective of the reality. I follow the bibles your lifestyle is against the bible and you are trying to rationalize it by your religion the religion of homosexuality itself, the only one in the world that preaches it as an ultimate lifestyle choice, despicable and its your loss.

@prepstarr25 What is even more sickening, and telling, about you Prep, is your profile. And that cRAP you call 'music' is the most telling of all. I wish you ALL the best in this life, and the next one.

But seriously - I don't want to share that place with you, cause honestly - and again I mean no real dis respect - for me, your 'heaven' would be my hell. Bit of a dilema there. And I know now, from ur profile again - that indeed I do live a far 'purer' life in that sense that you :)

@prepstarr25 I am not lost, or dead, and don't need your help. I'd really like to know what 'activities' you are referring to ? Do you know me ? Are you some pervy voyeur ? Your type usually are. Don't hold your breath waiting to see anything though, or you're likely to turn blue, then black, then 'lost and dead' :-) I bet I live a 'purer' life than you do, or ever have. Who do you think you are, judging me, you hypocrite ?!!! Preppy, understand this. I DO NOT want to share your 'heaven'.

[prepstarr25]

@elanaadler Not at all this is sickening.

[prepstarr25]

@Gullytale In the pope's words himself one should not allow homosexuality onto themselves but they shouldn't judge it on others. I do not promote your activities or your views but I have done my part to try and help you to bring you back from the lost and dead. May you and all others return steadfastly to a pure and healthy path.

@prepstarr25 I have not 'encompassed' anything. I am what I was created to be, and have spent years working in healthcare and education. Looking after the sick and dying, and helping children learn and learn well. You make God in your own image, judging, when you are specificallly warned againt this. Judge not that you be not judged, and YOU have judged me, when you know nothing about me. You are the one playing with fire, YOU are the one gonna get burned. Take heed :-)
