Reaction vs Nashville Statement [View all]

Many of the commenters at the blog thewartburgwatch.com are present or former Evangelicals.

They all wonder why THIS statement NOW:

1) They ask why no concern for the abused children and women who are found everywhere in Evangelical churches?

2) Most believe this is a major attempt to salvage the consevatives' belief in men as permanent leaders and in women as permanent submissive followers.

3) They think the LGBT concerns are a cover for for this primary agenda.They are also very angry about the further damage and pain this statement causes LGBT people.

The comments reveal the extent to which the so-called Evangelical leaders are losing the people in the pews.
