Last Thursday, as the House of Representatives debated H.R. 5, the Orwellian “Equality Act,” a seemingly exasperated Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) arguably revealed the true nature of his party’s radical legislation. In response to Rep. Greg Steube’s (R-Fla.) speech quoting the Bible, Nadler declared that “what any religious tradition describes as God’s will is no concern of this Congress.”
The Equality Act would enshrine the concept of “gender identity” into federal civil rights law, mandating that Americans kowtow to biologically false transgender identities. Steube quoted the Bible to express the fact that millions of Americans object to transgender identity on religious grounds and to warn that the Equality Act constitutes rebellion against God.

For thousands of years, Jews have relied on the Torah, The Written Law, and subsequently on the Talmud, the Oral Law, as a guide to the practice of Judaism. One generation has followed another seeking to understand this voluminous literature that Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin (18
th century) characterized as the blueprint of the world.

On Thursday, the House of Representatives passedH.R. 5, “The Equality Act.” Three Republicans joined with every single Democrat to support the bill, which now moves to the Senate. The bill will require 60 votes to pass in the Senate, due to the filibuster. Conservatives and other Americans concerned about the act should reach out to their senators and urge them to oppose the bill.
The bill would amend federal law to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, among other things. It would expand the arenas in which non-discrimination law applies and explicitly gut religious freedom protections.
Equality Act calls Bible a bigoted document, says rabbinic group
Claims Genesis is promoting “discrimination” through “sex stereotypes”
The Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), representing over 1500 traditional, Orthodox rabbis in matters of public policy, called today for the rejection of the Equality Act as “a direct attack on Jewish religious values and practices.” The Equality Act, H.R. 5, is slated for votes on Thursday in the House of Representatives.
In a letter sent Friday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the CJV argued that according to the Equality Act, a person is deemed “bigoted” if he or she adheres to traditional Jewish doctrine.

Apostle Professor Kwadwo Nimfour Opoku Onyinah, a former Chairman, Church of Pentecost, has advised politicians not to act like the Jewish Biblical despot, King Herod.
His self-aggrandizement was phenomenal as he was only concerned about his comfort and position, and cared less about the welfare of the people.
King Herod, also known as ‘Herod the Great’ was a Roman client King of Judea in Israel, who reigned between 37-4 BCE.
Jewish historians and religious theologians say King Herod ordered the massacre of the innocent children during the time of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Apostle Opoku Onyinah, delivering the sermon at Parliamentary End of Term Thanksgiving Service/Festival of Nine Carols, at the weekend, said politicians should not concern themselves with benefits their positions would bring to them, but work towards ensuring the welfare of every citizen.
