关于足球外围平台

The 足球外围平台 (GCS) Statement of faith is a summary of our core Christian beliefs which are derived from the Bible and which are also based upon historic, 正统的, 基督教的共识.  我们相信圣经中描述了神的属性, 包括他的爱, 神圣的, 和不变的.  We believe all people have a sinful and broken nature which manifests itself in various ways in various people.  正如圣经所解释的那样，这些罪恶的行为违背了上帝的旨意.  圣经也给我们圣洁生活的智慧, and God has given us His Holy Spirit to grow us in sanctification so that behaviors which please God are possible.  Our student body at GCS comes from a wide variety of denominations and churches which have statements of faith which may differ from the school’s position contained herein.  因此, 这份声明阐明了学校对婚姻的看法, 性, 性别, 这个职位对学校对员工和学生的期望产生了影响.  我们员工的政策详见GCS员工政策手册. 

We believe marriage has only one meaning: the covenantal uniting of one man and one woman in a single exclusive union, 正如圣经中所描述的那样(创世记. 2:18-25). We believe that God intends His gift of sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (我的天哪. 6:18, 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman and that any form of sexual behavior outside of the marriage relationship is clearly outside of God’s will and sinful.  一些例子包括, 但不限于通奸, 淫乱, 同性恋行为, 双性恋行为, 人兽交, 乱伦, 和使用色情(马太福音. 15:18-20; 我的天哪. 6:9-10).  

We believe that God’s design is the wonderful 和不变的 creation of each person as male or female in the womb of their mother.  这两种截然不同的、互补的性别共同反映了上帝的形象和本质. 1:26-27).  拒绝上帝在子宫里给的性别就是拒绝上帝对那个人的设计. The school does not condone intentional attempts by a person to change one’s biological sex nor will the school refer to students by 性别-specific pronouns other than those in alignment with their 性别 in the womb.

We also believe that there are circumstances in which a school must react to an employee or student’s behavior when it does not align with our beliefs.  We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of 足球外围平台 as a Christian ministry and to provide a Biblical role model to the 足球外围平台 students and the community, 员工必须同意并遵守这一声明, and that parents and/or guardians agree that their students will abide by this Statement on Marriage, 性别, 和性(马特). 5:16; Phil. 2:14-16; I Thess. 5:22)就读于加斯顿基督大学.

Our policies and practices flow from our 信仰声明 and are also intended to guard against instructional disruptions at school (see Parent/Student handbook for specific policies).  当一个学生的行为方式与这个陈述相矛盾时, 学校的管理将采取以下方式:

• 我们将把我们与父母的合作重点放在门徒训练上, 指导, 帮助学生理解圣经中关于婚姻的思想和行为, 性, 和性别.

• 虽然我们相信上面提到的上帝设计之外的性行为是有罪的, 我们也相信神赐救赎和恢复给所有承认并离弃自己罪的人, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Rom. 10:9-10; 我的天哪. 6:9-11).  我们相信，每个人都必须得到同情, 爱, 善良, 尊重, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31). Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of 足球外围平台.  Sinful treatment of any student by another is not tolerated (see Parent/Student handbook for conflict, 骚扰, 以及欺凌政策).

• 学生指导, 纪律, 他们在子宫里的性别，也要照神所赐的性别，接受辅导.  我们会让学生在子宫里使用与上帝赋予的性别一致的代词. 学生必须穿衣服, 使用洗手间和更衣室, and participate on athletic teams which align with their God-given 性别 in the womb (see Parent/Student handbook for further language and context).
