Jessica is criticizing the Baptist Church's stance on IVF, but they're free, as a religious denomination, to take whatever positions they want, and people are likewise free to disagree. I'm an Episcopalian, and don't agree with the Episcopal Church's positions on everything, and I suppose that if I disagreed strongly enough, I'd have to cut ties, which would be my choice to make.

Amber is making me a fan more and more every day!

I think it's funny how no religious people have little concept about different Christian denominations, their governing structures, and how they differ from each other. All Christians are lumped into 1 monolithic group just like Islamists are lumped into 1. It was nice hearing a segment that is actually forced to differentiate a bit.

same people complaining about this have no problem with Isam doing the same thing

[wvjaybird]

It’s nice to hear someone talk about religious news in such a genuine and open way. Thanks!

I don't believe women should be pastors

[jfranklins]

Thank you Amber for such a good video. All your videos today have been very good. I wish you were a regular co-host every day of the week.

The churches are supposed to be teaching the bible. Its obvious the churches are not teaching their members the bible, if they were then why are so many of them going against Gods word(the bible) and saying its ok for women to be pastors?

There are 30K+ Christian denominations ... and one Mother Church (Roman Catholicism ... well, the handful of other Orthodoxies as well). As with all Protestantism, if you don't like the current authority - splinter off and create your own. this should be inherently easier today than over a century ago due to modern communication technology bringing like-minded people together across distances. If women truly wanted to shed the patriarchal church, they have every right and ability to form their own denomination and run it the way they choose...and see how many follow. I find that the people who criticize formal religious institutions are typically agnostic/atheist and have no real intention of bettering the sect, but to instigate self-doubt amongst the laity. Take a lesson from Groucho: don't join a club that would have you as a member.

Points to Amber for not taking the bait on this one.

[jeffrodrequez]

Yeah its great, if you don't like the morals of one church just switch to another one, find a church that picks and choses which parts of the Bible that make you feel good, because its all about you. Sigh.

[tonyg]

Not as easy to find a church as these two make it out to be.

Good passive aggressive with the tax evasion charge albeit juvenile 😏

[Boswd]

Hey Jessica does Islam allow female Imam 's?

[Oltb]

Very refreshing getting to hearing some dialogue on the politics of our countries dominant religion.

Give these ladies the workweek spot (Sorry Robbie).

[rockuhard]

As a one-time fundamentalist Christian, this episode is a partial reminder of why I became an atheist.

[FraudSpotter]

Uh Jessica, ever hear of the Vatican ???

[paulanderson]

Just one silly definition misnomer, i don't think Baptists are protestants. They didn't branch off of the catholic church.

[rivernorthhomes]

Lol...sorry but women cant be priests or pastors in serious religions

[TheTeanaciousLeaf]

Why are people shoving political ideologies into a religion/denomination? If people don’t like a denomination there’s a thousand others to choose from.
