in all the original autographs. Its authority is not limited to

spiritual, religious, or redemptive themes but includes its assertions
|

in such fields as history and science.

before and after birth. The abortion of an unborn child or the active,

The only legitimate marriage, based on the creation ordinance in Genesis
|

1 and 2, sanctioned by God is the joining of one naturally born man and
|
||
one naturally born woman in a single, exclusive union as delineated in
|
||
Scripture. God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a
|
||
woman who are married to each other and has commanded that no sexual
|
||
activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
|
||
Any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication,
|
||
prostitution, homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexual conduct, bestiality,

incest, pornography, abuse, or any attempt to change one’s gender, or

Gender and biological sex are equivalent and cannot be separated. A

person’s gender is determined at conception (fertilization), coded in

||
the DNA, and cannot be changed by drugs, hormones, or surgery. Rejection
|
||
of one’s biological sex (gender) or identifying oneself by the opposite
|
||
sex is a sinful rejection of the way God made that person. These truths
|
||
must be communicated with compassion, love, kindness, and respect,
|
||
pointing everyone to the truth that God offers redemption and
|
||
restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking his mercy
|
||
and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
