The article says many Orthodox synagogues are becoming accepting of homosexuality. No ultra-Orthodox synagogues are mentioned. Also, Modern Orthodoxy DOES NOT accept it (Ivanka and Jared are Modern Orthodox).

[yldstrk]

Of course. And they should be made welcome. So the rabbi isn’t preaching to the choir.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Homosexuals, Satanist, Druids, Wiccans and anyone else are accepted, just NOT homosexuality.

Accept the sinner not the sin.

[tuffydoodle]

The bible warns against people that teach false doctrine.

[Dr. Sivana]

And here I was fearful from the headline that the Greek Orthodox Christians were getting wobbly on that issue.

[Tax-chick]

They should be welcomed, and they should be taught that sinful sexual activity is sinful and that they should not do it.

Can gay and lesbian teens find a home in Orthodoxy?

SHOULD gay and lesbian teens find a home in Orthodoxy?

Are muzzys Islamic if they pray to JESUS?

Are Christians ‘true to their faith ‘if they accept folks who continually/constantly ignore the teachings of the bible??

etc etc etc

[Alas Babylon!]

Sure! Why not?

And let’s also welcome serial killers—even those still up to their tricks and not yet put behind bars! Hey, they’re people, too! God made them just like He made you and me.

And let’s not forget thieves, burglars, and muggers.

And what about sadistic bastards who like to cause pain in others? What are they? People! Just like me and you!

God loves ALL of us.

And all he asks in return is your believe in Him, and you follow His commandments, and treat others with love and do to them as you would want them to do to you. So simple.

Hang on...

Whoops. Uhm... Nevermind.

The bible warns against people that teach false doctrine.

Orthodox Jews don't follow the Bible.

[COBOL2Java]

Well, correction. They don’t follow the Christian Bible.

[rusureitflies?]

Find a home? No probably just rent without a lease.

[freedomfiter2]

They’re supposed to at least follow the Torah which declares homosexual acts to be capital crimes.

[Salvavida]

Depends on what “finding a home” means. There cannot be accord with darkness. Homosexuality is sin. But all people should be welcomed to hear the word of God, Christian or Jew. How else are they going to change?

[Yosemitest]

You need to study a little deeper.

" For the time is come
that JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN at the house of God:
and if it FIRST BEGIN at us,
what shall the end be of them that obey NOT the gospel of God?
And if the righteous SCARCELY be saved ,
WHERE SHALL the ungodly and the sinner APPEAR ? "

Read again

" Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. "

And read again:

" But he that heareth , and doeth not,
is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth;
against which the stream did beat vehemently ,
and immediately it fell ;
and the ruin of that house was great. "

Remember, if we do NOT OBEY Our LORD:

Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.
Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations,
even these that remain among you,
and shall make marriages with them,
and go in unto them, and they to you:
Know for a certainty that the LORD your God
will NO MORE DRIVE OUT ANY of these nations from before you;
but THEY shall be snares and traps unto you,
and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes,
UNTIL YE PERISH FROM OFF THIS GOOD LAND
which the LORD your God hath given YOU.

You must remember this:

" ... seeing ye are dull of hearing.
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers,
ye have need that one teach you again which
be the first principles of the oracles of God;
and are become such
as have need of milk,
and not of strong meat.
For every one that useth milk
is unskilful in the word of righteousness:
for he is a babe.
But strong meat
belongeth to them that are of full age,
even those who by reason of use
have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. "

Homosexuals had to "Earn their REPROBATE MIND" by refusing God ~ not once, ~ not twice, ~ but THREE times!

You need to not only read, BUT STUDY this link
I especially agree with its last paragraph.

" The Church NEVER can and NEVER will give satisfaction—
and the homosexualist knows it,
for he knows the words against him are INERADICABLE
—to the declared and impenitent homosexual,
the person who, through an act of the vermiculate will,
has identified his person with a sin,
whether HE DEMANDS ACCEPTANCE OF HIS SIN
through "love,"
or VINDICATION
THROUGH IDENTIFICATION OF HIS PERCEIVED ENEMIES AS BIGOTS.
Whether HE PRESENTS HIMSELF as an object of love or indignation,
what HE DEMANDS in either case IS ACCEPTANCE
not of the person,
but OF THE SIN-bound and SIN-DEFINED person.
HE DEMANDS the declaration of SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY that
THERE IS NOTHING OBJECTIVELY DISORDERED about this BINDING OF MAN TO SIN,
and ASSURANCE that THIS MONSTROUS AMALGAM can indeed ENTER the kingdom of heaven.
This can NEVER HAPPEN among Christians UNTIL THEY ABANDON Christianity,
WHICH IS AT WAR WITH EVERY SIN,
and whose indelible constitution
places ALL PERVERSIONS of the perfect man
AT THE MUZZLE of its canons. "

There will be NO HOMOSEXUALS ( NOT ONE ) in the afterlife.
They WILL BE ASHES UNDER the soles of your feet ! ! !
