Before I was banned, my highest up-voted post on Reddit was a clip of this woman babbling in tongues for God to intervene in the 2020 election.

HAHA fucking found it! I challenge you to watch it and not laugh.

[–] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 11 points 1 hour ago

Some dude should've walked up to the podium and told her to sit down.

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 6 points 2 hours ago

You missed your stop. You were supposed to step off at 1930s Germany, right? Well, now we’re already headed towards medieval Spain. You might like the inquisition though.

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

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 20 points 6 hours 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.

Oooh. I loved her in Chasing Amy.

How the everloving fuck does she know what God wants?

[–] tal@lemmy.today 8 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (3 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.

That was written by a human, not God.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, yes, but a divinely-inspired human, no doubt, acting on God's will to relay His message.

https://biblehub.com/topical/t/the_power_of_divine_inspiration.htm

Divine inspiration is a foundational concept in Christian theology, referring to the process by which God imparts His wisdom and guidance to humanity. This inspiration is most notably associated with the authorship of the Bible, where human writers were moved by the Holy Spirit to convey God's truth. The power of divine inspiration is evident in the transformative impact of Scripture, its enduring relevance, and its ability to guide believers in faith and practice.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 hour ago

Like I said, written by a human. The rest, like the entire Bible, or even religion itself, is also a human construct.

[–] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

At least it’s not Proverbs 5:19.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

Even the ancient Levant had its furries!

I think that comparing breasts to deer was probably something of a poetic convention then. I believe that there's something in Solomon along the same lines.

goes to investigate

Yeah.

Song of Songs 4:5:

Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies.

Song of Songs 7:3:

Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle.

usually when something happens god always sends in the angels to deal with his wrath and to signal the end times with 7 angels and trumpets. they should watch evangelion.

[–] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 22 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 11 minutes ago

If she likes being a sub, why is she so bossy?

In my experience, those are always the ones who get off on being subby.

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

[–] Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago (2 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.

[–] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago

Maybe he really is the antichrist.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

The American Taliban.

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.

[–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 49 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

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.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 10 minutes ago

That implies that there are non-fraudulent evangelicals.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago

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 13 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 192 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

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

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

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 26 points 13 hours ago

Hypocrisy is the water conservative “Christians” swim in.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_evil

The problem of evil is the philosophical question of how to reconcile the existence of evil and suffering with an omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and omniscient God.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 101 points 18 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 87 points 17 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.
