Activist Judges in Jesus' Nazareth Orders Spousal Rights for Homosexual Couples
NAZARETH, November 15, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Nazareth District Court ruled 2-1 yesterday that Israel is required to recognize inheritance rights between homosexual couples. The court ruled that since the inheritance law makes an allowance for non-married common-law couples to have inheritance rights, homosexual couples must also be allowed those rights.
The clause in the inheritance law states, "a man and a woman who live a family life in a joint household, yet who are not married to each other," are to be granted the same inheritance rights as married couples. While the state argued that "man and woman" could not be interpreted to mean homosexual partners, Judges Nissim Maman and Gabriella (De Leo) Levy ruled that since that clause was initiated in 1965, "there have been wide-reaching changes in interpretation, and legal rulings have widened the meaning of the term `partners' to include common-law partners, as well as same-sex common-law partners."
Thus the judges said the phrase "man and woman" does not mean "not a man and a man" or "not a woman and a woman," but rather "a couple who is not married."
Judge Menahem Ben-David dissented. "The letter of the law is clear and unequivocal and you cannot read into it any meaning other than what is written - `man and woman.' The letter of the law cannot tolerate the interpretation according to which this would be `man and man'," he wrote.
Ayin Mem applied to the courts to inherit his homosexual partner's estate since no provision was made in his partner's will.

Forget disciples. The courts are starting to mandate Jesus and his 12 life partners. Only a matter of time before polygamy and gay polygamy are on the table too.
Why again did God protect the people of Israel -
Judges in nations besides the U.S. are playing the game - be interesting to read about the people's reaction -
Homosexual Agenda Ping. I guess the Israeli judges who go for "gay" rights are not religious Jews. Unfortunately.
Let me (NOT Scripter - I'm in charge now!) know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
Polygamy advocates are closely watching the progress of gay marriage. Legalizing polygamy is next.
Here it is - I let everyone know I'm "in charge" now!
Aha - I feel the awesome power coursing through my veins...
It's a continuum. The question is, where is the end? Remember the German cannibal couple? At least the eaten one was involved "consensually". /sarcasm.
So will this be appealed?
Will they do a DOMA?
few details in this.
So has Nasareth become a san fanceeeeesco of the east?
Polyamory -- say, two men and three women in a "marriage." Legalized pedophilia and incest, as well. Eventually, if marriage means everything marriage means nothing -- people won't even bother getting married. In some European countries, shack up couples have almost as many rights as married ones.
May it carry you for a long time, my friend. :-) You crack me up.
Humor is a gift from God. He's got the best sense of humor, of course. If we can't laugh, there's something seriously wrong.
Good, clean humor.
I'd rather have laugh wrinkles than frown wrinkles!
Indeed. Humor is a huge part of our lives as well. I read in a periodical something about it being the best medicine. :-)
Good for the liver.
:-)
If there is an amendment in the Constitution saying that "marriage is between a man and a woman", there should be a following statement in brackets )"a" meaning one, not two or more).
Right. It's unfortunate that that must be spelled out, though.
Ancient Christian gnostics claimed that they could read Scripture and discern 'secret knowledge' {commands} from God. Strangely enough, it seems that the secret commands always ran counter to the actual wording of the Bible. Thus gnostics were anti-marriage, anti-children, and pro-every sort of sexual experimentation.
Today's activist USSC judges and federal judges claim to be able to see "penumbras and emanations" in our Constitution and code of law........secret knowledge unknowable to the rest of us. It's amazing how these 'penumbras and emanations' not only always run counter to the actual wording of our Constitution but also unleash upon society the very things approved of by the gnostics.
But let us not forget that today's activists are socially and intellectually "enlightened" {major sarcasm}.
This article just got posted over here as well:

There are some people supporting this "gay" marriage/civil unions/inheritance, if anyone wants to go over there and impart some common sense into the thread, be my guest!
