High Court scraps Dutch Reformed Church decision against same-sex marriagesThe Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has scrapped the Dutch Reformed Church's decision not to recognise same-sex marriages, declaring the policy unlawful and invalid. AlexMitchley Yawn! 🙄 The church should be able to make up their own shit as they go along. The LGBTQWTF's who are crazy and credulous enough to willingly join this superstitious book club must face an uphill in perpetuity like the rest of them. You can't reform stupidity anyway. AlexMitchley Dr Gaum and his son will go down in history as using the judicial system to force a minority issue on the majority of the church and ridiculing the Bible's directive on this matter. Gaum and co may have won the battle but God's truth on marriage cannot be denied. NG_Kerk AlexMitchley Same sex is a crime
