Have you signed the Nashville Statement on Sexuality yet?

Acts-celerater Posts: 935 **8/31/17 9:44 am**

The Nashville Statement affirms in 14 articles God's plan for Sexuality and denies the perversion of current Western Culture in the realm of prevailing thought of LBGBTQ (XYZ ETC) practices et al. You can read the statement which came of the Southern Baptist Ethics Committee and was signed by men like Tony Perkins, James Dobson and John Piper and many others. It is totally consistent with conservative Biblical teaching and doctrine on sexuality and gives a clearcut statement against sexual sin and perversion as well as a Grace statement affirming salvation that is available for ALL. You can read and sign the Statement here: https://cbmw.org/nashville-statement

It is worth your time to read and sign. It also will help clarify your own positions which may help you down the road as Evangelical Churches come under more pressure to be "inclusive" and are persecuted for their stands against trans-genderism and homosexuality.

I don't see anything new here - but I am sure there are those that won't sign it so as not to offend.

Jesus ate with sinners, right, so he wouldn't sign nothing like that.

Lenny: Are you crazy? A man in a really nice camper wants to put our song on the radio! Gimme a pen; I'm signin', you're signin', we're all signin'!

No. It only serves to divide and cause a media uproar. No reason for it. How about we come up with a statement that says we're gonna love one another? That would be a huge difference.

CBMW is an organization that limits women in leadership in the church. They had gone so far as to claim that the Son is eternally subordinate to the Father in order to justify their claims that women should be subordinate (although when Kevin Giles called them on that, some backtracked and claimed that women's subordination doesn't actually depend on the Son being eternally subordinate after all).
Their article IV is not clearly defined, but if you have followed their organization, you understand that they believe a husband's dominion over his wife is not a result of the Fall as is indicated in Genesis. In other words, they believe that a man's dominion over his wife is God's original design even though there is nothing in the Genesis account to suggest that.
I also think they take the analogy of marriage and Christ and the church farther than it is intended.

You know more about it than I do Bonnie

But I guarantee you James Dobsun doesn't believe that and tbat ideology about women is not what's being promoted in the Nashville tatement. What is being promoted is a statement that reflects and succinctly outlines most conservative Biblical views on human sexuality. I signed it as did my co pastor, my wife who is ordained by the AG.

I read the statement. I feel confident that the Scriptures and the official CoG statements on homosexuality, marriage, and so forth are quite sufficient. Anyone who may wish to know what are my views on homosexuality (and any other kind of sexual immorality) will find my views unchanged over the course of my life and ministry, quite clear, and fully consistent with traditional Christian teaching. I don't see what the point would be of signing this particular statement, since my stance on these issues is clear and unchanged and indeed, is completely unsusceptible to change.

I signed it

I signed it because I agreed with the statements. I don't see the issues with it.
