On Gender, Marriage, Sexuality, and the Sanctity of Life: Redeemer Classical School is committed to the infallibility of the Christian Scriptures in all matters of faith and life. Our aim is to be aligned with the truth of the Bible, even when that means being out of alignment with what is considered popular or culturally acceptable. Moreover, especially as it pertains to the statements below, Redeemer Classical School stands on

Scriptural truth.

On Gender: We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as either male or female, both in biological sex and in gender. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image of God (Gen. 1:26–27).

On Marriage: We believe that according to the Bible, marriage has only one appropriate meaning: the union of one man and one woman in a holy relationship intended to be exclusive and lifelong (Gen. 2:18–25). We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between men and women joined in marriage (1 Cor. 6:18 and 7:2–5; Heb. 13:4).

On Sexuality : We believe that participating in or approving of any form of sexual activity forbidden in the Bible (including unmarried sex, adultery, homosexual or bisexual behavior, and pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matt. 15:18–20; Rom. 1:24–32; 1 Cor. 6:9–10).

On Sanctity of Human Life: We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in his image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. (Ps. 139). We believe this is the starting point for all discussions related to the sanctity of life (e.g., abortion, euthanasia, war).

Are you in complete agreement with these statements on Gender, Marriage, Sexuality, and the Sanctity of Life?
