The new Barbie movie has made one person very unhappy: Tennessee pastor Kent Christmas, who took to his congregation at the Regeneration Nashville megachurch to condemn and proclaim "holy judgment" upon the film, reported PinkNews on Monday.
“I curse in the name of the Lord this new Barbie movie that has been released full of transsexual, and transgender, and homosexuality,” said Christmas, in footage from his sermon posted on Twitter.
"The Barbie film has not yet been released and the plot has been kept tightly under wraps," noted Jake McKee for PinkNews. "More specifically, it’s not clear if the film is actually 'full of transsexual, and transgender, and homosexuality', as Christmas claimed. The film’s tagline is: 'If you love Barbie, this movie is for you. If you hate Barbie, this movie is for you.'"
Regeneration Nashville's website proclaims the Bible is the literal, inerrant word of God, that heaven and hell are real places, and that Christmas “carries an anointing to preach the word with the demonstration of apostolic power,” and desires to “share prophectic insight."
Christmas has been known for other controversial sermons, including one earlier this year in which he suggested Christians should be willing to commit suicide bombings for their beliefs.
But he is not the only one outraged over the Barbie movie before it has even been released. The nation of Vietnam has already banned the film, over its depiction of a map that shows China's disputed territorial claims to the South China Sea.
