The Dangers Of Homosexuality
Hyades:

Why did you choose a name which sounds like the name Hades which is synonymous with Hell?
--- Quote ---Nature of Satan
U Christianity's belief in Satan is rooted in the event that took place in the Garden of Eden, where the serpent, believed by Christians to be a manifestation of Satan, is the perpetrator of evil who succeeded in tempting man into disobeying G-d's command not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. According to the Christian perspective, which is based on a misinterpreted passage from the Hebrew Bible (Ezek 28:13-18), Satan was originally one of the angels in the Heavenly Host, but his rebellion against G-d caused him to fall from grace, ergo the common reference to him as a "fallen angel":
Revelation 12:9(KJV) - And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Satan/Devil has his own power and authority, which he uses to oppose G-d and perpetrate evil. This view reflects the influence of pagan religions, such as the religion of ancient Greece, which had Zeus/Hades, and the religion of ancient Rome, which had Jupiter/Pluto. This dualism of the forces of good and evil in a state of constant battle with each other, a state of affairs that will prevail till the "end times", characterized these and other ancient pagan religions.

HUH!??? I chose it from the Hyades, since I love astronomy (not astroLogy, which is complete nonsense). And the Hyades are the most beautiful star cluster along with the Pleiades which appear here in Germany when autumn comes and the night sky become more filled with numerous bright stars and constellations. I have never thought about Hades. Hyades means "Rain Stars" as they announced the rain in ancient Greece after the dry summer months.
As for your other post: I said unkind because someone said G*D hates homos. I think it is a hard thing to say. We have a revenging G*D and a forgiving one. But also our G*D is different as allah, since allah does not know forgiving, only hatred and thus creates hatred in the hearts and soulds of muslims. Our G*D is a loving G*D loving with rigidity and strictness - just like a father.
:)
And we should behave the same way. Being like fathers and brothers. Tolerating others' failures even though we are not okay with them and even less commit the same mistakes. And they have chosen their destiny, so I let them live their lives as long as they let me live my life... ;)
AsheDina:
I dont agree with ANY mystical teachings. What about the HAG Madonna studying Kaballah??
Hyades:
Madonna studying Kabbalah is somewhat strange. But if she likes it and it makes her happy, why not?

--- Quote from: the thing on March 17, 2009, 02:57:17 AM ---It seems that where I live, in the UK, they are really trying to make homosexuality the norm, and marriage between man and women the abnormal. For example they have made it compulsory to teach children from the age of 5 that homosexuality is normal and acceptable.
Just out of interest what is the Judaic punishment for sodomy, and general homosexuality?
Thanks

Male homosexuality is punishable by death.
Female homosexuality is not mentioned in the torah explicitly although many Rabbis consider it to be included in the warning not to follow the way of the Egyptians and therefore it would be forbidden but not a capital crime.
Sodomy, if by that you mean anal intercourse between a man a woman, that is not forbidden at all. However it is not a good idea and undermines togetherness between a husband and wife since it only gives the man pleasure and usually cause the woman intense pain.
