Full interview: Bishop Karen Oliveto

One of the largest Christian denominations in the country made history today led by United Methodists here in Colorado and the West. United Methodist Church delegates overwhelmingly voted to repeal the church's ban on LGBTQ clergy.
Kyle asks Bishop Oliveto how people of faith should respond to the rise of Christian nationalism.
And you'll want to hear her message to young people simultaneously navigating questions about their faith and their identity.

Is it in the Bible that women are allowed to lead church congregations ?

[@donnymaga8732]

Christianity died with fundamentalism: with Christian Talibans.

[@wirelesscustomer9973]

No

[@RonGreeneComedian]

Only if they can be the husband of one wife. 😜

Oh Lord have mercy

[@CrossAndWindMinistries]

No matter what the UMC does, God’s Word remains TRUTH… in 2008, I was a gay-identified man, in a committed, monogamous same-sex relationship, active in an affirming church, then found myself in an ICU where the medical team classified me clinically dead after a 22-minute flatline. I experienced death, judgement and hell. When I couldn’t take any more demonic torment, I cried out in repentance, “Jesus!” and I heard the Savior say, “I am here.” At that moment, I saw with my eyes the Wind of the Holy Spirit fill my ICU and with great power, He pick up Satan and the demonic and blew them out of the room. On that day, my life changed, the redemptive Blood of Jesus cleared my mind, and completely healed and restored every failing organ. Glory to God!

[@user-ww5dw1ig6r]

I will be contacting the Methodist Conference to see where i can pick up my revised Bible. Apparently im using a different version!

[@edwardadams7408]

Don't be deceived, For jesus said, Many shall come in thy name. False Teachings of God's word is the work of the devil.

[@dougmilesmedia]

A church cannot choose which sins to allow.

[@JPaul60]

They haven't followed the teachings of the Lord Jesus for many years now. They can no longer be considered a Christian church.

[@munen-muso]

@@donnymaga8732 your statement has no meaning

[@jmthunk]

They certainly consider themselves christians, and their faith appears to embrace inclusivity and freedom of choice.

[@StevenWaling]

He's right though. Literalist fundamentalist readings of scripture are bunkum. ​@@munen-muso

[@Oculoustuos]

Rev.21: 5 And he who sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the fountain of the water of life without payment. 7 He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son. 8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.”

SICK 🤢

[@jamesmarianowilson3372]

I think it’s a terrible sin that they’re doing this. I have no problem and I’m not hateful towards people that are gay or LGBTQ but it’s pretty clear that the Lord his word and he’s pretty specific about this kind of thing and you can’t be somebody that is violating something that is so sacred and then actually be teaching the word of God and because of this, it’s not the same thing with other sins. It’s just not it’s not that I made this way was it my decision but it does say in so many ways in numerous places that the Lord does not approve of this sort of thing when it comes to something so sacred sanctimonious and something so basic it’s got nothing to do with the fact of being flooded somebody’s outwardly dishonoring what the Lord says is going to actually try to teach his word and represent the church I don’t see how this is a confusing thing doesn’t make sense to me and like I said I’m not hateful. I’m just saying that I know what the Bible says when it comes to this stuff and I know they have to so I don’t know how, they’re smoothing this over because just doesn’t make sense but you know I can’t. I can’t associate myself with somebody or any organization that is going to openly embrace something that is against the Lords word and then try to teach the Lords word to others when they’re actively making everybody know that they’re like this, and that they violate certain things that the Lord is against and then they actually try to teach the Lords word, same thing you say somebody that’s an alcoholic this is something that is a different level altogether and they’re actively embracing it and still trying to teach the word to the Lord that’s what I think is an issue

[@JoelGrant-ie4ly]

They've just boarded the Titanic. So long.

[@donnymaga8732]

Christianity died with fundamentalism: with Christian Talibans. It has sank already.

[@MikeLee-hw6nx]

No other word but EVIL

[@IamLeighton]

Don't worry the lord will punish them for there evil ways.

[@JohnSmith-jf4so]

Romans 1:26-27 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Active homosexuality is not ok with God.

[@gerardoreyes721]

“The Church of the people” Is different than “The Bride Of Christ”. Their Jesus is also not the same as the Jesus of the Bible. Yet, Jesus’s Blood is available to wash the sins of Sinners, even sinners like me, and like you, Do not delay, Come to Jesus, Repent and start a new life, serving and loving Jesus.

[@marklambert4793]

Yeah, I don’t know what bible they’re using, but it clearly says that this isn’t OK!!! These left wing lunatics have completely lost the plot! I used to laugh at people that quoted the book of revelation when I was younger. Let’s just say, I’m no longer laughing! 🤔😳

Yes disappointed. A religious group a d forgetting the Bible. Just like everyo ne else. Sad

[@jeremyrobbins9925]

Hallelujah!

[@todd1936]

She can rejoice your people all the way to eternal separation from God. Sin separates us from a holy God! “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil”

[@revsusanrussell]

Jesus said love your neighbor -- period. There was no * that read *unless your neighbor is LGBTQ. Today is a day to rejoice in as the church comes closer to being the Beloved Community God intends it to be.

[@g.r.bilyeu4226]

Loving a sinner doesn't mean reveling in sin. You need to get right with God

[@DeathShiniGama]

Jesus said to love God first. Find what the bibical definition of Love means. Then Jesus said to love your neighbor as you Love yourself. Also again look at the bibical definition of love, because not allowing yourself to sin is a part of loving yourself and not allowing others to sin is a part of loving them.

[@munen-muso]

Wrong Matthew 5.19-20 *"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:* but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. John 5:29 “And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” James 5.20 “Let him know, that he which converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.” Revelation 2:5 “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”

Not the REAL church.

[@StevenWaling]

​@@wirelesscustomer9973the real church is inclusive. The false church is fundamentalist.

[@lalundquist9844]

Bishop has been a truly good bishop who does a great job! She lives her message every day- all people are beloved by God!

[@wirelesscustomer9973]

To hell with her

[@munen-muso]

Christ spoke of people like you and her" “Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”

[@user-oi9ym7te1w]

Yes she lives her message. But that is not God’s message. She is going to pay heavily for all she has done to pervert God’s book.

[@jamesmarianowilson3372]

No, I don’t think so. She what do you mean inserting their dominance that’s how the constitution was built and the original people that came here and started America were Christians. They were very conservative Christians and since what do you want to accept it or not it doesn’t change the fact that that’s an absolute fact And that’s how it should be first and foremost, and it will be going forward because that’s how it is here here of course welcome to live here, but that’s the main view and it is wrong for them to make this OK because what they’re trying to do is basically make the church look as if it’s an app and it can’t understand God‘s word, it’s fine if you are gay I’m not saying that you aren’t loved by God that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that in the Bible it’s very clear. You can’t openly embrace one of the most fundamental things about God‘s word and then try to openly connect that with representation of the church and God‘s word, when you are violating one of the most basic and one of the most primary things doesn’t make sense there’s no way that people are gonna be OK with this and that’s understandable

[@merkur18]

Gross!!!
