Traditions on homosexuality sometimes go beyond what the law actually says, especially in regard to female homosexuality. We'll be looking at the actual literal wording of the law, surrounding and related passages, and we'll discuss the implications of these commands. Also, we'll discuss the concept of a homosexual lifestyle (including gay marriage).

What is Homosexual?Homosexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between members of the same gender. As a sexual orientation, homosexuality is "an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions" to people of the same
sex. It also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions.
What is the Torah?Torah, "Instruction", "Teaching" or "Law" has a range of meanings. Common to all these meanings, Torah consists of the origin of Jewish peoplehood: their call into being by God, their trials and tribulations, and their covenant with their God, which
involves following a way of life embodied in a set of moral and religious obligations and civil laws. In rabbinic literature the word Torah denotes both the five books "Torah that is written" and the Oral Torah "Torah that is spoken". The Oral Torah consists of interpretations and amplifications which according to rabbinic tradition have been handed down from generation to generation and are now embodied in the Talmud and Midrash. According to rabbinic tradition, all of the teachings found in the Torah, both written and oral, were given by God through the prophet Moses, some at Mount Sinai and others at the Tabernacle, and all the teachings were written down by Moses, which resulted in the Torah that exists today. The majority of Biblical scholars believe the written books were a product of the Babylonian captivity (c. 600 BCE), based on earlier written and oral traditions, which could only have arisen from separate communities within ancient Israel, and that it was completed by the period of Achaemenid rule (c. 400 BCE).
Who are RTC?Remember the Commands (RtC) is about seeking to do what the Creator has asked and about searching for His truth according to the text of His law. We want to move beyond traditions, such as the traditions of Christianity, Orthodox Judaism, Messianic
Judaism, and Karaite Judaism, and try to look at what the text actually says. RtC seeks to value what the Holy One requires and advocate for the return of His people to His ways.
