God might not want a woman to be president, some religious conservatives say
Washington Post ^ | July 20, 2016 at 6:00 AM | Julie Zauzmer

Four years before Hillary Clinton became the first woman to mathematically capture a major U.S. political party’s presidential nomination, a staff member on Rick Santorum’s 2012 presidential campaign posed a question in an email that shocked many people: “Is it God’s highest desire, that is, his biblically expressed will, … to have a woman rule the institutions of the family, the church, and the state?”

God’s will or not, in 2016, it’s all that much closer to coming to fruition.

Clinton is poised to be nominated for president by the Democratic Party next week. And so religious hard-liners of all faiths — the most conservative Christians, Muslims and Jews — are debating: Do their Scriptures prohibit a female president? …

Wow. The stupid BURNS.

Ever heard of Ruth?

We don’t dislike Hillarty because she is female. We dislike Hilklary because she is a corrupt lying anti-American Marxist POS!

Yup. That’s actually who I meant. Just made a mistake.

Ruth was one of the direct ancestors of Christ, through bearing Boaz’s child Obed, who was King David’s paternal grandfather. Her ancestry goes back to Lot’s son Moab, of course.

Yup. Was just admitting that I made a mistake. Should have cited Debroah (fourth Judge sanctioned by Jehova IIRC).

I believe there are many democrat union guys who will never vote for a woman for president.

No, it was an actual guest on Maury Povich who resembles Cruz.

If absolutely nothing was done to that picture, that is a pretty remarkable resemblance.

Margaret Thatcher was a one-in-a-million (the UK’s version of Ronald Raegan) ruling in a nation that has had several centuries of women ruling, when they did, along what would today be considered stiflingly conservative lines and with ‘totalitarian’ levels of power.

The possibility USA electing a (criminal) female president is nowhere near comparable, especially in our present state. And need I remind everyone how much of a laughingstock a female POTUS will be in the eyes of the Arab barbarians, emboldening them even more?

God did not want a woman leading the church and teaching the men because women can be decieved by the devil easier than a man can.

The woman is decieved by the devil and then she tempts the man and that is why we are killing babies by the thousands, making sodomy legal just to name acouple

I don`t know if God wants a woman leading this nation or not but i sure in the hell don`t want it to be hitlary.

That’s not how the Bible puts it. It has to do with the offices God established, including within family.

And when it comes to the Garden of Eden, Adam rebelled without Satan tempting him. He even tried to pass blame onto his wife, when he was supposed to be the one responsible in the relationship, which makes Adam the first leftist after a fashion.

! tim 2:11
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission

12 i do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man, she must be silent.

13
For Adam was first formed and then eve.

14
And adam was not the one deceived, it was the woman who was decieved and became a sinner.

A woman could hardly be silent and teach at the same time.

REV 2;20
Never the less i havea few things against thee because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel who calleth herself a prophetess
to teach and seduce my servants to comit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

Even good women can be decieved by the devil and most likely will be in a teachers position.

the older women are to teach the younger.
Titus 2;4
that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children.

Obviously some people did not take what Paul said serious and let a woman start preaching and she was decieved and started preaching lies and she also became a sex idol for the men.

Well, if God REALLY doesn’t want a woman President, He has a lot of tools in His toolbox.

He hasn’t used chronic cough and barking like a dog for a few millenia - oh wait...

Take note of 1 Timothy 2:14. Adam was not deceived—yet he still rebelled.

In Isaiah 43:27, where it says “(y)our first father sinned”, that is understood to be a reference to Adam.
