31. # 24: Adam Adamato - your type is...
Ragusa   (07.04.06)
exactly what Israel needs in order to avoid the worlds (growing) view on Israel as you described. Your voice appears to be one of the few voices of reason displayed here. Even if you do not agree or even like a minority, TRUE democracy is accepting them, even giving space to provocative activities. Mr. Adamati, I wish your good and wise example will spread among your countrymen.
32. preserve human dignity
leora   (07.04.06)
Beautiful to see a rainbow coalition of Jews, lead by Rabbis and caring laymen, including secular, l,religious, Ashkenazi, Sefardi, Israelis by birth olim from all countries plus Catholics, and Moslem, acting to preserve human dignity
33. Go POOF one another elsewhere
Poofders ,   Israel   (07.04.06)
Since you are wanted and accepted all the world round, I am sure there is another place for you. In Jerusalem you are not wanted and not welcome, and no the Torah does not have room for you either, although maybe God does show you some pity! Please dont make your issues ours - we have enough mess in this world to clean up without you. Tzeitchem beShalom!
34. #'s 2 & 10
jman ,   il   (07.04.06)
to #2 i would like to say that technically there is no problem with having a gay lover eccept that according to the torah a homosexual man is to be put to death. to #10 i highly doubt that the torah would write something that is not possible. the rambam writes that it is permissible to preform any sexual act on a wife, aslong as the person finishes in the right place. therefore when the torah writes that "a man cannot lie with another man the way he would with a woman" it means preforming a sexual act of any sort. we should all pray that people should follow in the ways of G-D's holiness nomatter what there religous degree is. amen
35. gay rights
josh ,   jerusalem   (07.04.06)
the gays deserve their rights, but who said gay is right? for whoever wants to say that g-d created gays they are wrong! g-d created everyone the same, innocent helpless babies. g-d also gave people a choice of how they want to grow, hoping that everyone would pick to follow in his ways. however, some choose to be terrorists, bank robbers, ect. if you want to say this is not true, then why didn't he create everyone one way or the other? there are those that say its genetic, which is funny, then how were they born? and those that say its biological, please explain if 99% of the world is straight with one bio-chemical balance, you have to admit that there has to be a bio-chemical inbalance somewhere. lets leave g-d out for a minute. if the reason for people to have a reproductive system is to reproduce, than what is the logical reason for people to be born naturally gay, there must be something wrong.
36. Just let it Be!
JPL ,   USA   (07.04.06)
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Revelation 22:11-13 This world has reached this point in time. Just let everyone do as they wish to do. Each will be judged accordingly. Thus saith the Lord in the very last chapter of the last book of HIS HOLY WORD! Chistians, Jews, Muslims... let them march (though it's hard to bear), and let God do what HE must do acordingly. AMEN!
37. what GOD thinks of "being Gay"!
lissa ,   germantown , USA   (07.07.06)
Roman chapter1 :20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. ~~ this is right out the GOODBOOK!! if u want to talk aboutit with me (email me: msperry218@yahoo.com)!!
38. Gay Parade
Paul Collins ,   Victoria Canada   (07.09.06)
This gay parade must not be allowed to leave a stain on the history of the Holy City. It must be halted!
39. Do Not Desecrate The Holy City.
Marivn ,   Spanaway, WA.   (07.10.06)
This would be completely against Torah, and a slap in our Nations face, and who we are as a people. We are to be Kadosh(Holy unto our G-d). This would be an abomenation, and we would be judged by this act as a nation if we allow this atrocity. It clearly goes against the mitzvot of Torah, and goes completely against our G-d. Be Holy for I am Holy, declares HaShem, we as a nation shouldn't allow this to take place , we as a nation are heading the wrong direction, we need to be a people Kadosh unto our G-d, and we clearly have ungodly leaders running our nation, we are not a state, WE ARE A NATION, wake up my people we're heading down a slippery slope, and if we continue, we will be judged buy the hand of HaShem, if we are not being judged by Him already. Forget what the world wants and its pressure, but stand up for who we are, we are the Apple of G-d's eye, we need to return back to Him, and back to Torah. We need G-d fearing leaders, a PM who is obedient to G-d, and His Torah. Be strong my beloved, it is more important to obey G-d. We need to be strong and not crumble and not compromise, due to international pressure. Trust in HaShem, not man. We as a Nation need to get back on track, because we are heading in the wrong direction. We need to stand strong and united, and trusting in HaShem Amain. Marvin
40. #37, #38, #39 and #36
Forgiven ,   Heaven one day   (07.11.06)
You are sooooooo right!!! ( : #36 part of our job on earth is to warn sinners to repent of the Lord's wrath to come even if they refuse to heed it. How will they hear otherwise? The Lord is love, just, merciful and not willing that any should perish.
41. Gays CHOOSE to be gay.
Glenda ,   Houston, USA   (07.22.06)
What's next? A parade for liars? Thieves? Drug/Alcohol abusers? I expect that kind of debauchery in America but not in the Holiest City in the world. That is truly a disgrace. I will be praying and fasting against this.
42. Homo events
(08.05.06)
Israel cannot get GOD's help in this war if you do not CANCEL ALL HOMO EVENTS - ALL OF THEM
43. WAKE YE
GOD HELPER ,   JERUSALEM   (10.17.06)
TURN OR BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
44. spitting in the face of G-d
TJ ,   Lakewood, US   (11.08.06)
bottom line is - no matter what you believe about "gay rights" - the Torah clearly considers homosexuality to be a "toevah" - an abomination. Therefore, for all those of us who believe that Yerushalayim is G-d's holy city, allowing a Gay Pride parade to be held there is offending the King in His very palace (so to speak). It's particularly ironic for Ms. Satat to claim that this event will demonstrate that "Jerusalem is accepting of every human being created in G-d's image". If you truly believe in G-d and that people are created in "His image" (as it says in the Torah), you would also believe that G-d considers homosexuality to be an abomination.
45. Re: As Usual, Ovadia has it 100% WRONG
Nat ,   Cheney, USA   (11.21.06)
" 'The ultra-Orthodox community fears that holding the Gay Pride Parade in the capital would expose religious youth and children to homosexuality.' SEEMS THE ULTRAS WANT TO DO IT THEMSELVES: A Jerusalem yeshiva teacher was arrested for allegedly sexually molesting teenage students in a city yeshiva, police said on Monday. " A man molesting boys is not an example of homosexuality. That is pediphelia. While sexuality is about love between two adults, pediphelia is about having power and control over children. Pediphelia is sin, because children get hurt. Homosexuality is not sin. No one gets hurt. "Do undo other what you would want them to undo to you" Following this golden rule is he key to living a righteous life. Adam, if you want to help the movement for gay euality, please, don't associate pediphelia and homosexuality.
