Therefore, one\u2019s biological sex must be affirmed and no attempts should be made to physically change, alter, or disagree with one\u2019s biological gender \u2014 including, but not limited to, elective sex reassignment, transvestite, transgender, or non-binary gender fluid acts of conduct\u00a0(Genesis 1:26-28). Students in school will be referred to by the gender on their birth certificate and be referenced in name in the same fashion,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/florida-school-will-only-refer-students-biological-gender-rcna43545\">NBC News<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, transgender identity\/lifestyle, self-identification, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful in the sight of God and the church (Genesis 2:24; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; I Corinthians 5:1; I Corinthians 6:9; I Thessalonians 4:2-7),\u201d he continued. \u201cStudents who are found participating in these lifestyles will be asked to leave the school immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After McKeen was targeted for his statement, he asserted, \u201cWe\u2019re not going to change because God\u2019s not going to change. We are not going to be hateful, but we are not going to back away from this policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s funny for us to \u2026\u00a0 be painted as hateful,\u201d McKeen told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/christian-school-refuses-change-long-held-policy-excluding-sexual-behavior-alleged-death-threats\">Fox News<\/a> on Sunday, revealing the school had \u201cmassive law enforcement\u201d on Friday. \u201cWe have fielded hundreds, probably thousands of phone calls Thursday, Friday over the weekend, with just some of the most outrageous things: People threatening to burn my house down, threatening to kill my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I backed down from something like this, I\u2019m abandoning what God has said is the truth,\u201d he continued. \u201cI \u2026. kind of rack my brain to like, \u2018How is this hard for people to understand? This is what God said.\u2019 This is one of the many reasons we have a Christian school, and we\u2019re not going to abandon this policy. God has spoken on these issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t expect any of our students who are not married to be sexual, whether it be bisexual, heterosexual or homosexual. I tell people, if a kid came in the doors, exclaiming how he was having sex with his girlfriend, that student would be expelled, as well,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur parents are so supportive,\u201d he said, then cited one man who donated $5,000 to the school telling them to \u201cstay strong, keep the faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cMany of them came to church this morning,\u201d he said. \u201cThey go to other churches normally, but they were here this morning to support. And we\u2019re seeing tremendous support from all over the country even though we\u2019ve been getting a lot of hate calls and hate mail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe God has picked us for this particular time to just encourage [like-minded people] that, \u2018Hey, there are things worth standing up for, and we\u2019re going to do that,\u2019\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The school administrator for a devoutly Christian Florida school says he and his family have received numerous violent threats because of the school\u2019s firm stand affirming Biblical morality.
