of the National Executive Committee of the Evangelical Mission of the Interior. Legal Authority of the Christian Reformed Church in Cuba.
hereby wish to express our disagreement with the recently approved measure legalizing transsexual operations and our concern that modifications are made to the Family Code in order to legalize homosexual unions, raising them to the status of marriage and allow adopt children by homosexual couples and transsexuals.
After our members and congregants approached us conveying their concern and praying for guidance and direction of God have resolved to know our deepest disagreement. Our decision is not born of a sense of homophobia, as Christians advocate that every man or woman has been made in the image and likeness of God and deserves respect and consideration.
applaud the Cuban government devote its efforts to promote full social integration of any individual. Approve that the Cuban state, as is their duty, to ensure to all Cuban citizens fulfilling their most basic rights. However, when the Bible our only rule of faith, life and conduct, we disagree with these measures have been taken. God instituted the first human family. A man and woman, Adam and Eve were the first members. God blessed their union by saying "It's not good that man should be alone. I will help meet "and created to complement the woman. Woman complements complements man and man to women. God also said, "Be fruitful and multiply" and God saw that what he had done was very good.
In the creation story of Genesis we see the how the Lord designed the institution of marriage, we believe that the only way possible and everything should not be considered as such.
Our concern also arises from a real interest in the moral and ethics of our society. The family is the basic unit of society and any dysfunction or twisting occurs magnified it will manifest itself in society. So we understand that the social product of households consisting of two persons of the same sex is harmful and detrimental to Cuban society. We know
heed our words and take them into account. Rev.
Enrique M. Alvarez Cepero.
President of the National Executive Committee.
