The
Seven Precepts of Noah- described
by John Gill in his book
'Practical Divinity' remind
one of the Decalogue. One can see that abortion was regarded as
murder and homosexuality definite sin. These precepts are probably
still valid categorizing sin correctly. It is somewhat ironic that
people violating two of the seven precepts in such quantity are also
the greatest contributors per capita to global warming and potential
mass lowland flooding. Global warming sea level rising 80 feet by the
year 2100 may be an adjustment for the kind of people that violating
Noah's precepts.
If
the U.S. Supreme Court lacked fundamental integrity and honesty, or
perhaps adequate intellect to realize what marriage is, one might
wonder what alien force corrupted them or broke up social and
political cohesiveness as if dissolving the strong force binding
protons together. Original sin conditioned mankind to hate the good
and prefer evil. In marriage two become one flesh. The union of two
genomes become one new genome-a human infant.
Human
genomes are compatible only male and female to conjugate and become
one new genome. That is the mystery of marriage. Society sanctified
it. It has a legacy from Adam and Eve and symbolizes the marriage of
the elect to God through the Lord; individual human souls share the
spirit of God. Humans and God also have different 'genomes' (except
maybe for the majority members of the U.S. Supreme Court). Humans are
saved through the grace of the Lord and Jesus Christ so they are
bonded into God.
If
the class genomes cannot theoretically combine to become one new
genome then marriage does not occur. The court doesn't know that not
all words are abstract or purely symbolic-some words are
representational. Homosexuals cannot marry, people and monkeys cannot
marry, hippopotamus and humans cannot marry, dogs and cats and
donkeys and people cannot marry. The court doesn't get it or perhaps
believe they've power of God to define reality for-themselves. The U.S. Supreme Court
showed it does not care about truth, and has the power to put over
the big lie.
The
High Court failed to comprehend marriage and promulgated a
fabrication, a fiction, a dissimulation, a falsehood, an error, a
lie, a deception upon the public with force
de majeure as
if truth is only what they say it is.
Gill write in Practical
Divinity that; "this conjugal union, male and female, become
one, even one flesh, (Gen. 2:24; Matthew 19:6) which union is
therefore very near and strict, and, indeed, indissoluble but by
death, excepting in one case, unfaithfulness in the one to the other,
by adultery or fornication, (Rom. 7:2; Matthew 5:32) and this state
is to be entered into with mutual consent; indeed, with the consent
of all parties who have a concern in it; with the consent of parents
and guardians, under whose care single persons may be; and especially
with their own consent, for none are to be forced into it against
their wills; no, not by their superiors; it must be their own
voluntary act and deed: and being thus entered into, it is a very
honourable state (Gen. 1:27; Mal. 2:15)."
Here are the precepts of
Noah-of ancient lineage. It is easy to see that the High Court has
again sided with wickedness.
Quoting
Gill from page 450; "for it is asked, “who is Ger Toshab; that
is, a proselyte allowed to dwell in Israel? (the answer is) Whoever
takes upon him, in the presence of three neighbours, that he will not
commit idolatry.” It follows, “R. Meir, and the wise men say,
whoever takes upon him the
seven precepts which the sons of Noah obliged themselves to observe.”
Others say, “these do not come into the general rule of such a
proselyte. Who then is one? He is a proselyte who eats what dies of
itself; (or) who takes upon him to keep all the commandments in the
law, except that which forbids the eating of things which die of
themselves;” 331 but the usual account of such a proselyte is, that
he agrees to observe the
seven precepts enjoined the sons of Noah; 332 six of which were given
to Adam, the first man, and the seventh was added to them, and given
to Noah,
and are as follow: 333 a. Concerning
idolatry;
by this a son of Noah was forbid to worship the sun, moon, and stars,
and images of any sort; nor might he erect a statue, nor plant a
grove, nor make any image. b. Concerning
blaspheming the name of God.
Such an one might not blaspheme, neither the proper name of God,
Jehovah; nor any of his surnames, titles, and epithets. c. Concerning
shedding of blood, or murder,
the breach of which command he was guilty of, if he slew one, though
an embryo in his mother’s womb; and one who pursued another, when
he could have escaped from him with the loss of one of his members,
&c. d.
Concerning uncleanness, or impure copulations;
of which there were six sorts
forbidden a son of Noah; as, with an own mother, with a father’s
wife (or stepmother), with another man’s wife, with his sister by
the mother’s side, with a male, or with mankind, and with a beast.
e. Concerning
rapine, or robbery and theft;
of which such were guilty, whether they robbed a Gentile or an
Israelite, or stole money, or men, or suppressed the wages of an
hireling; and the like. f. Concerning
the member of a living creature, taken from it while alive, and
eating it:
this is the command, it is said, which was to Noah, and his sons, and
of which the Jews interpret Genesis 9:4. g. Concerning
judgments or punishments to be inflicted on those who broke the above
laws:
this command obliged them to regard the directions, judgment, and
sentence of the judges appointed to see the said laws put into
execution, and to punish delinquents."
