  There is a distinct difference between fornication and homosexuality in both the Torah and in the Bible.

  Fornication is when a man and a woman have sex out-side of G-d’s design. There is, on-the-other hand no provision it the Torah/Bible for homosexuality. It is unnatural.

  Name one example in the Torah or the Bible where a homosexual relationship is either spoken about in a positive manner by any of the Jewish patriarchs, the prophets or any of the apostles? One?

  Name one example in the Torah or in the Bible where a homosexual relationship is blessed by G-d? One?

  Beside act of homosexuality, there is also filicide and cannibalism in the animal kingdom.

  Should we follow these examples also – think before you post.

  Since when do people look to the animal kingdom as a paradigm for moral standards?

  That’s right – G-d bless America you socialist moron.

  This is the same guy who once said he was afraid every time the police got behind him while driving in the United States. You’ll notice that Smith is not afraid when white folks pay to watch one of his films.

  There is one good thing about Bolsheviks – they’re predictable.

  Gehinnom: Hell

  Only truly righteous souls ascend directly to Gan Eden, say the sages. The average person descends to a place of punishment and/or purification, generally referred to as Gehinnom.

  The name is taken from a valley (Gei Hinnom) just south of Jerusalem, once used for child sacrifice by the pagan nations of Canaan (II Kings 23:10). Some view Gehinnom as a place of torture and punishment, fire and brimstone. Others imagine it less harshly, as a place where one reviews the actions of his/her life and repents for past misdeeds.

  The soul’s sentence in Gehinnom is usually limited to a twelve-month period of purgation before it takes its place in Olam Ha-Ba (Mishnah Eduyot 2:9, Shabbat 33a). This twelve-month limit is reflected in the yearlong mourning cycle and the recitation of the Kaddish (the memorial prayer for the dead).

  Only the utterly wicked do not ascend to Gan Eden at the end of this year. Sources differ on what happens to these souls at the end of their initial time of purgation. Some say that the wicked are utterly destroyed and cease to exist, while others believe in eternal damnation (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Law of Repentance, 3:5-6).

  Gan Eden and Gehinnom

  Only the very righteous go directly to Gan Eden. The average person descends to a place of punishment and/or purification, generally referred to as Gehinnom (guh-hee-NOHM) (in Yiddish, Gehenna), but sometimes as She’ol or by other names. According to one mystical view, every sin we commit creates an angel of destruction (a demon), and after we die we are punished by the very demons that we created. Some views see Gehinnom as one of severe punishment, a bit like the Christian Hell of fire and brimstone. Other sources merely see it as a time when we can see the actions of our lives objectively, see the harm that we have done and the opportunities we missed, and experience remorse for our actions. The period of time in Gehinnom does not exceed 12 months, and then ascends to take his place on Olam Ha-Ba.

  Gan Eden and Gehinnom

  The place of spiritual reward for the righteous is often referred to in Hebrew as Gan Eden (GAHN ehy-DEHN) (the Garden of Eden). This is not the same place where Adam and Eve were; it is a place of spiritual perfection. Specific descriptions of it vary widely from one source to another. One source says that the peace that one feels when one experiences Shabbat properly is merely one-sixtieth of the pleasure of the afterlife. Other sources compare the bliss of the afterlife to the joy of sex or the warmth of a sunny day. Ultimately, though, the living can no more understand the nature of this place than the blind can understand color.
