A group of evangelical leaders who released “the Nashville Statement” on Tuesday -- reiterating Christian viewpoints toward same-sex marriage and transgender rights -- have come under fire from Nashville's mayor and critics on social media.
The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW), consisting of a number of evangelical Christian leaders, published a manifesto aimed at addressing issues of sexuality. It was endorsed by scholars, pastors and leaders at a Nashville conference Friday.
“The spirit of our age does not delight in God’s good design of male and female. Consequently, confusion reigns over some of the most basic questions of our humanity,” CBMW President Denny Burk said in the statement.
“The aim of the Nashville Statement is to shine a light into the darkness – to declare the goodness of God’s design in our sexuality and in creating us as male and female.”
...Other Twitter users denouned the statement for alleged bigoted views.
HBO’s Silicon Valley star Kumail Nanjiani, tweeted to his 1.7 million followers: F*** the #NashvilleStatement. F*** the evil s--- that people justify using religion.”
“The God I know does not support the #NashvilleStatement,” wrote Black Lives Matter leader Deray Mckesson.
Moms Demand founder Shannon Watts attacked the group that drafted the document for voting for Trump and suggesting “Jesus has been hijacked.”

John 15:18 applies.
The ancient texts are clear. Jewish and Christian doctrine is unequivocal.
God made male and female.
Period. Full stop. End of story.
Amen!
Agree completely, however the vile, God/America/morality-hating liberal scum never experience the woe....
Wait til the libs find out that Islam does not accept homosexuality.
As For Me And My House We Will Serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
It very well could be a record apostate generation. You are right.
It’s sad that it’s in our own country.
The God I know does not support the #NashvilleStatement, wrote Black Lives Matter leader Deray Mckesson.”
That’s because your god has horns.
Less harmfully we see this in attitudes on the environment. The command to have dominion over the earth has been twisted and turned into a “Christian” doctrine on environmentalism. More harmfully the example of Paul's church has been seen as a justification for socialism. And under the guise of “loving the sinner” homosexuality is being tolerated.
I looked it up at an acronym dictionary site and in its many options, it did not list ECT as "Eternal Conscious Torment."
