Dutch Reformed Church. Nederlandse Kerk.10 March 2019.
I have noted that the South African Constitutional High Court has ruled that same sex marriages have to be recognized by the Church.
1. The South African Constitutional Court only came into being after 1994.
The Union of South Africa was in 1910.
The Republic of South Africa was in 1961.
The Dutch Reformed Church is much older than any of the above mentioned.
Christianity Stated more than 2000 years ago.
2. It is the Republic of South Africa and the South African Constitutional Court that has sinned, and sinned greatly.
The following needs to be considered.
Jeremiah 7:16-20
"Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger. Do they provoke Me to anger?" says the LORD. "Do they not provoke themselves, to the shame of their own faces?" Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place?on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched."
Jeremiah 44:17-25
But we will certainly do whatever has gone out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, were well-off, and saw no trouble. But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been consumed by the sword and by famine." The women also said,"And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make cakes for her, to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her without our husbands? permission?" Then Jeremiah spoke to all the people?the men, the women, and all the people who had given him that answer?saying: "The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and did it not come into His mind? So the LORD could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you committed. Therefore your land is a desolation, an astonishment, a curse, and without an inhabitant, as it is this day. Because you have burned incense and because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD or walked in His law, in His statutes or in His testimonies, therefore this calamity has happened to you, as at this day." Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women, "Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt! Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ?You and your wives have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled with your hands, saying, "We will surely keep our vows that we have made, to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her." You will surely keep your vows and perform your vows!?
Boys will be boys and girls will be girls.
Once a boy always a boy. Once a girl always a girl, and both act differently to each other.
They have different functions. The two together produce children.
A lock and a key are joined together and become one. They perform a function that is right.
Two locks can not become one. Two keys can not become one. Impossible.
There are consequences to force same-sex marriages. It is discriminates against those of opposite sex who marry.
Not even the Constitutional Court can change that. That the opposites is what the Great God created.
The Roman Catholic Church used the Queen of Heaven as the base to Worship Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ.
The Reformed Churches are not far removed from that!
