Lesbian Methodist Bishop Calls Jesus a Bigot

If you see a Methodist church get hit by lightning, this may explain why:

United Methodist Church bishop Dr. Karen Oliveto is not only a lesbian, she also believes (and publicly teaches) that Jesus was a bigot filled with prejudices. She does say that Jesus grew and changed, and that’s her point. Bishop Oliveto admonishes, “If Jesus can change, if he can give up his bigotries and prejudices, if he can realize that he had made his life too small, and if, in this realization, he grew closer to others and closer to God, than so can we.”

The United Methodist Church has been on the descent into apostasy for years now. While the denomination is currently in the midst of their 75 weeks of praying about accepting homosexuality, they have long allowed pastors of their churches to go against their current beliefs on the matter. In 2005, Karen Oliveto, a non-celibate lesbian, officiated several same-sex marriages that were held in the United Methodist church she pastored.

Oliveto’s teachings cover the range of normal progressive “Christian” beliefs — the denial of the exclusivity of the Christian faith and the denial of the authority of the Bible, to name two. However, it’s her direct attack on certain Bible passages and Biblical figures that has caused some within the UMC to be concerned.

Any remaining Christians in the Methodist community must be starting to realize that they are the victims of a bait and switch.

If Jesus was imperfect, if he was bigoted and unloving, there is very little reason to listen to what he had to say or to look to him for salvation. Frankly, that’s probably exactly what Oliveto is moving toward — a complete discarding of Jesus and the Bible altogether.

You can only worship one god at a time. If the people in control of the United Methodist Church did not worship moonbattery, they would not allow blasphemous degenerates like Karen Oliveto to become bishops. The objective is to hollow out Christianity, leaving only the outer shell but replacing the insides with leftist ideology.

I left the UMC 16 years ago when I finally realized what the UMC really was. Never looked back.

“United Methodist Church” is a misnomer. It should be called “United Methodist Party”. At its top levels the UMC is an ultra-liberal political party with little concern for Christian teachings.

At the local level the UMC is a country club with little concern for Christian teachings that focuses on providing social activities for its members.

She is not an anomaly among Methodist ministers. Most women “ministers” are probably borderline atheists. I mean, how can they come to the insane leftist conclusions they do unless they kill God off?

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;. 2Tim 4:3

To gain control over Church assets to serve Leftist purposes.

plus declare their own lack of sins

You're wrong about this for all the local Methodist Churches I'm familiar with. I gross generalization.

I think the title of the story fully captures the illogical nature of said event....

Hilliary's church! The Wesley brothers and George Whitefield would not recognize what calls itself the Methodist Church today. We were warned about this nearly two thousand years ago:

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone. (II Timothy 3:1-9)
