Reply To: Blaming the Same Gender Unions: A Personal Rant

At this point in the discussion, I’m just viewing the Torah parts and trying to debate them as I would in yeshiva. I enjoy this, as I’ve looked up all the sources here and thank you all for giving me where to look and what to learn.

If this is too tedious for you, I’ll stop

1. Lot was a rasha at the time, with a zechus. His zechus was keeping quiet in mitzrayim about Sarah. R’ Dessler asks why this was the zechus which saved him, and not his hachnasas orchim in sdom, which nearly got him killed by the natives.

2. Lot in no way can be a proof. He was a Goy! He never fully joined Avraham, and, in fact, his descendants, in part, were forbidden to become gerim

I have, in no way, ignored chazal. Still waiting to see that a yid gets punished for a goy’s actions.

And if that is the case, still awaiting proof that our role as Frum yidden is to try to protest and educate the goy. If anything, I’d think such actions of the goyim should awaken us to do more mitzvos, work on our avodas Hashem, as we might need many more zechusim than usual
