why are you "womensplaining" a man than, and why are talking out of your place-,faith adivsor for trump.

I also saw this in a TV series

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 8 points 1 hour ago

"I'm up here working on the initiatives for President [Trump], who's been in ministry for 40 years and understands it," she insisted.

WTF? Show ANY evidence at all of 40 years of HitlerPig's "ministry," specifically anything BEFORE he decided to run for president.

How the everloving fuck does she know what God wants?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 30 minutes ago

usually when something happens god always sends in the angels to deal with his wrath.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (2 children)

It's from a passage in the Bible.

Ephesians 5:22-24:

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.  For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.  Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

If being a sub is her kink, she can do that. If she likes being a sub, why is she so bossy?

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago

She needs to get back in the kitchen and make some sandwiches and be seen and not heard.

[–] Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Ofc Trump has a fucking faith office. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he tried implementing biblical laws like some type of Christian version of Sharia law, or called for teaching creationism as fact in schools.

God has an order

1 Corinthians 11:6:

For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

Put your hat on, Paula. I'm definitely seeing uncovered hair there, and we know how God is about that.

Preaching to the innocent masses with that sinful outfit.

FYI to Lemmy non-Christian’s: Paula White is an incredibly controversial figure in the evangelical community. Specifically, many believe her to be perpetuating fraud by demanding money from her followers in exchange for specific acts of prosperity provided by God (and even to ask God to smite your enemies). This differs from traditional tithing which typically is used for salaries, services (keeping the lights on), and community outreach.

Why evangelicals can’t point to her malfeasance as evidence of Trump’s corruption is a mystery to me. Additionally many conservative Christians don’t believe women should be in a position of authority, citing the same scripture she is here as evidence. If she were morally consistent she’d quit her “ministry” and go home.

Fraud is a religion

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago

This was the first thought I had when I read the headline.

Sounds like the Prosperity Gospel to me.

Hey if that’s her kink, good on her. But keep it to yourself lady

[–] LavaPlanet@lemm.ee 12 points 8 hours ago

It's her kink for that to happen to other women, it doesn't apply to her. They're all like that.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 52 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

How could she accept the role of the head of an office if she thinks women should submit to men?

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 22 points 8 hours ago

Hypocrisy is the water conservative “Christians” swim in.

1 Tim. 2:11-12: “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.”

Excellent since you must submit to me. I command you to stop telling women to do this.

She doesn't have to listen to you, you're not her first or second husband.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Apparently she's on her third, not second.

EDIT: Though apparently her first husband abused their son, so now I feel a little bad.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 hours ago

Since we're going back to the caveman days all I need to do is kill her husbands and she becomes my wife.

That's what she wants, right? For women to become property again?

Thank goodness religion is fake bullshit.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

If God wasn't real, corrupt leaders would invent him.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 97 points 13 hours ago

If anybody wants a reason religion needs to die look no further than subjugation of half our population for religion to exist.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 82 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like she shouldn't have gotten divorced three times if she gave a fuck what Jesus said.

But the prosperity gospel types know they're scammers, so she'll laugh all the way to the bank.

Why is there even a faith office? gtfooh

[–] tal@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

Dates back to Bush's "Office of Faith-Based Initiatives". Sounds like it gets hauled out again whenever it feels like support from the religious crowd might be a little soft.

This lady has been divorced twice.

Not that I otherwise care. Do what you want with your life and relationships - life is complex and difficult at times. Not every relationship works out, sadly.

But for a twice-divorced lady to tell women to “submit to men,” it sounds like she herself has a problem keeping her trap shut and submitting to a man. The hypocrisy is so thick here you can cut it with a knife.

Rules for thee but not for me.
