Englsh Assignment---No Point In Reading.

Jews have many beliefs. Teachings that they are pushed to learn and follow throughout life. The Jewish believe that God, their almighty creator, alone has made, does make, and will make all things. That it is wrong to pray to any being besides him. They believe that all the works of the prophets are true. Each person, is created in the image of God, this means that all people are created equal. Judaism believes that people have freewill, and are responsible for the choices made. The Torah, is the primary document of Judaism. Torah, which means “teaching”, is instructions to the Jewish people, from God. Teachings of how to act, think, and how to even feel about life, and death. Jews do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Jews believe, like most other religions, that human sexuality is a “potential source of sin”. Non-consensual sex, unsafe sex, manipulative-sex, are considered to be sinful. Some Jewish groups teach that the same rules apply to homosexuals as they do to bisexuals and heterosexual people. Other groups teach that homosexuality is abnormal, chosen, and unnatural behavior. Regardless the nature of the relationship it is considered sinful. Belief on homosexuality depends on the “faith group”.
