Deuteronomy 22: 28-29 says that if a virgin is raped, the rapist may make a pimp of her father by paying him fifty shekels and then the daughter may choose to marry the rapist for "honor". That is not the word of God and to defend that is to defend and spread rape culture. If that is a "sacred" wedding and two guys can't get married, I'm calling bullshit. As a reform Jew, the only way one can be a true Jew is reform. Otherwise you are a rape-enabling parrot of some corrupt old world ruler that lied in the Torah. Any scholar of Torah will tell you there are enough contradictions that its sole divine authority is impossible. It's like sifting through sand to find gold. There is value, but there are also monstrous lies that have brought the worst consequences on us. When we teach that love it self is wrong, we betray King David, our very symbol, for he loved Jonathan more than any woman. And not as platonic brothers. Romantically. Brothers used to mean that too, and that double meaning survived to this day in the term of fraternizing--military personnel are banned from fraternizing, or flirting. Honor love and REFORM, or there is no Godliness.

Just yesterday on TV here in Israel we saw a young “model”, a brainless product of Israeli’s irreligious society, announce that she is marrying a famous Spanish non-Jewish footballer and that the wedding ceremony will be performed by the reform movement/church.<br />.<br />The reform church’s crime is that of presenting “an alternative” to basic Judaism. It is not by chance that most USA reform Jews supported Obama and then Hilary Clinton.<br />. <br />I understand that your article was provoked by attitudes to xian missionary activity here in Israel. Fair enough. But the greatest danger to Judaism at large is – IMHO – to American Jewry, particularly to those Jewish members of the reform church, which is distorting Judaism beyond all recognition. The litmus test – which only time will see – is how many grandchildren of reform church members will remain Jewish, wedded to Jewesses. <br />The Blog Ownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340333112806688455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395024306618621004.post-13667302820625094782018-05-28T11:19:43.185-07:002018-05-28T11:19:43.185-07:00You are absolutely right!
