Huckabee’s opinion on gay marriage is out there, but we should also be publicizing Huckabee’s opinions on heterosexual marriage. Specifically, what he believes about a women’s role in a marriage.
In August of 1998, Huckabee was one of 131 signatories to a full page USA Today Ad which declared: “I affirm the statement on the family issued by the 1998 Southern Baptist Convention.” What was in the family statement from the SBC? “A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ.” Read on…
The Huckster is trying his best to hide his full gospel, but somehow I doubt this factoid will attract more women to his campaign. If you needed further proof that this religious extremist will set our country back even further than President Bush has, look no further. Of course, what do we expect from a man who lobbied to have a convicted serial rapist paroled for political gain.
UPDATE: (Nicole) BeliefNet has rated Huckabee a perfect 10 on the theocrat scale, but that’s still not enough to win over Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins.
He's against it.
But no, it’s not balanced.... it tips in the favor of the males. If God loves girls as much as boys, rules like this wouldn’t exist. We either have equal value in his eyes, or he is not our God.
Submission?
No, even the submissive wives I know aren’t happy about it most days.
"You are right because you recognized that the family was God's idea, not man's, and that marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman for a lifetime.
"You are right because you called husbands to sacrificially love and lead their wives.
"You are right because you called wives to graciously submit to their husband's sacrificial leadership.
"You are right because you affirmed that the husband and wife are of equal worth before God.
"You are right because you reminded us that children are a blessing and heritage from the Lord.
Sacrificial love sounds like a job description of America's military. They supposedly get the better part of the deal?
Why? What's expected of the man isn't controversial. But declaring that a wife should "submit" to her husband is going to rub a lot of voters the wrong way. Smart politicians avoid buzzwords like that.
We are equal in God’s eyes and He loves us equally however we do not have equal rolls.
Does than mean Huma must submit to Hillary?
than=that
Yup...that’s gonna get him the women’s vote...
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
-Ephesians 5:22-26 NKJV
Here is the whole quote.
It ticks me off that so many people on FR go along with the DBM to smear someone they disagree with in such a dishonest manner.
Huckabee actually believes the bible is the word of God. How shocking.
So if we can’t fulfill our rolls then we are evil in Gods eyes?
Church of the size 4 shoes.
Either we are equal and free to be who we were created to be, or we are not equal, and damned by gender and ability.
Huma or Hummer?
I get confused.
You either believe what the book says or you don’t. He has plenty of flaws that I am eager to point out, this is not one for me.
Wow.
What an unhappy person you are.
God loves me and God loves my husband but we have different rolls in our relationship.
I am not damned, my husband is not damned.
We each have a roll to play in our relationship, we play really really well.
Or an italian one
“He doesn’t have an Irish wife does he?”
Or an American one...
I’m extremely happy....
I just learned that not all of us are alike, and I celebrate the individuality in every person.
I’d no more expect you to do my job, live my life or be like me than I’d wish me to be like you...because we’d both be miserable... And I sincerely don’t believe that God gives a rats patootie about my sexual organs, I think he cares more about me.
It took me a long, long time to get to this point....and I honestly believe that lots of what is in the Bible is the word of God, and lots of it is the attitudes, mores and beliefs of other people....
Some of them very mean and unhappy. :) And a lot of them don’t like females one dang bit... The roles that they wrote in the bible only a small handful of humans can be happy with, the rest miserable trying to achieve something that is actually harmful for them.
And it ain’t no coinky-dink that Sharia Law came from the same roots and region. Too much of it is alike.
But hey, I’m jez usin’ the brain God gave me.
sw
Again wow.
Your post proves my point.
