"The most important point about homosexuality is that it is a religious rather than a moral sin."...... "Homosexuality, by contrast, which involves consensual sex and no deception, is only a religious sin and not a moral one"

I'm sorry I'm confused. I thought sins against God were far more serious than sins against man. If this is so, then how on earth can he say homosexuality is ONLY a religious sin?

Ignore that. It is confusing. It is NOT "simply irrelegious" but not immoral to engage in homosexuality.

It is equally immoral to worship false gods -- although I'm presuming Rabbi Boteach's read might be "That's simply irreligious".

You're not confused. This Rabbi is and he is an advocate for cvil unions. He is purposely trying to compartMENTALIZE sins according to his own misguided standards rather than what the Old Testament states. He's a leftie.

It's not you who is confused it is this male parading around as a Rabbi that is confused.

It is quite clear in the OLD testament, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach that homosexuality is an abomination to God.

Lev.18

[22] Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination

God went out of His way to state that homosexuality is an affront to Him personally. As you know he created a woman for man and NOT a man for a man. Man and woman are designed for each other. To violate that design and purpose is a slap in the face of God. He never intended a same sex relationship. It is immoral and a sin in the eyes of God and this is not a "religious sin". It is a sin against God.

The Ten Commandments are also sins and immoral. I can't believe that this "Rabbi" would try to compartmentalize some as "religious sins" and some as "immoral". This Rabbi has an agenda of advocating civil unions for homosexuals, hence the silly obfuscation of "religious" v.s. "moral" sins.

All sins are immoral. Having said all that don't believe for a nano second that I walk on water. I don't however I do know what sin is and what offends God. Homosexuality, for anyone with any knowledge of God's Word KNOWS that this is an ABOMINATION to Him. I dare say that homosexuality may be WORSE than breaking the Ten Commandments.

Be wary of World Net Daily ... they used to be a credible source ... as you can see ... that is not always the case.
