Liberals are surprised that a Baptist minister agrees with his church's teachings and the Bible? I have a lot of problems with Mike Huckabee, but shouldn't a Christian believe his own religion's doctrine? Of course, Hillary/Obama will use this as a cudgel to beat Huckabee about the head and shoulders in the general election, which is another reason he is a liability.

He doesn’t have an Irish wife does he?

[festus]

Well his view is scriptural but don’t think its gonna help him much in the election.

[dblshot]

well he just picked up the Islamic mens demographic.

[trisham]

Huckabee doesn’t have a chance of getting elected, should he become the nominee. None.

[AlaskaErik]

That smart-ass remark just cost him 50 percent of the vote. He’s finished now.

As usual only half the story is given. I don’t care for Huckabee but to only quote what is expected of the woman and ignore what is expected of the man is a little disingenuous.

I tell my wife and tell my wife about that scriptural passage and she always counsels patience and kindness, as love requires, from me . . .

[Defiant]

Yup. Might as well have a screaming headline, "Huckabee believes Roman-era Jew walked on water, raised the dead", or "Huckabee believes Earth 5000 years old".

When the tables are turned, and we don't just look at what Mormons believe, the NYT headlines don't look so hot no matter what religion you look at. That's why I don't think its right to get into Mormonism in the race, and I don't think Huckabee's religious beliefs are fair game, either. People only need to know that he is a fundamentalist Baptist, not examine all the ins and outs endlessly. That's between each man and his maker.

Tell me what Huckabee believes about the Law of the Sea Treaty instead, will you, you MSM propagandists!

Mike Huckabee: Women Should Submit To Their Husbands

As is fitting unto the Lord. The Bible also says, Husbands love your wives. Those two commands work hand in hand.

[IceColdConservative1]

This won’t hurt him with Christians who know the “WORD”. He is just quoting what the bible states. He doesn’t try and soft soap it for votes. I like that about him.

[Milhous]

Daily Kos takes a provocative statement out of context presumably to try to agitate females into becoming angry Hillary tools. This site contains a fuller version.

"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?

[RockinRight]

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.

[spectre]

Someone better not be starting a "Pray for Huckabee" daily thread. I'll burst a vein for sure.

Nah...he didn’t say that did he!? Man, that would be a silly thing to say. Perhaps I don’t fully understand the context.
