BREAKING NEWS – Nashville, Tennessee – A progressive Nashville church has drawn the ire of the internet after sharing a message on social media declaring the Bible isn’t the Word of God, inerrant or infallible.
GracePointe Church, led by Pastor Josh Scott, shared a recap of the day’s message on Facebook, discussing the Bible and the question: “What Is Progressive Christianity?”
“As Progressive Christians, we’re open to the tensions and inconsistencies in the Bible. We know that it can’t live up to impossible, modern standards. We strive to more clearly articulate what Scripture is and isn’t,” the church noted before stating what the Bible is and isn’t.
“Back then, God didn’t have access to modern technology or fact checkers, so He made understandable and forgivable mistakes,” explained Scott. “When I get to heaven, I’ll present to Him a list of errors that He is responsible for, and I have no doubt that His level of compassion will issue the corrections to people here on earth, along with an apology.”
This isn’t the first time Pastor Scott made some controversial statements. In 2017 when he was living in Memphis, he said he was attending a weekly bible study that was led by Elvis Presley.
