Therefore regarding human sexuality, God has chosen to bless sexual relations solely within the covenant of marriage.


In light of God's authoritative institute of marriage, regarding human sexuality, God has chosen to bless sexual relations solely within the covenant of marriage (as defined immediately following).

Hence, all sexual expression outside of marriage (referred to in the New Testament as “porneia”), including but not limited to adultery, premarital sex, homosexuality, and pedophilia, are inconsistent with the clear teaching of Scripture and the Lord’s Church (Matthew 5:32; Romans 13:12-14; I Corinthians 6:9-11; Galatians 5:19-23; Ephesians 5:1-3; Colossians 3:5; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-4).

Further, lascivious conduct, transgender behavior, and the creation and/or distribution and/or viewing of pornography, are incompatible and out of step with the gospel of Jesus Christ as taught in the Bible.
