BIRMINGHAM, England -- Former President Jimmy Carter said the Southern Baptist Convention is led by men who are "devout and sincere," but want "to keep women in their place."
Carter led Sunday's Bible study at the Baptist World Congress in Birmingham, England, which was attended by an estimated 12,000 Baptists from around the world.
He lamented the absence of the Southern Baptist Convention, which dropped out of the Baptist World Alliance last year, citing alleged liberal tendencies.
But the former president said Southern Baptists and other conservative churches misuse Scripture to deny women an equal opportunity to serve as ministers.
Jimmy Carter: the perfect picture of irrelevancy.
I wouldn't want to belong to any church that lets Jimmy Carter lead Bible classes. He twists the Bible to fit the liberal Democrat agenda and shouldn't be seeking attention and glory for his sanctimonious self.
The SBC is clawing their way back to being solid, Bible-Believing denomination.
It seems that Jimmy has the pages of scripture confused with that of the liberal left.
Now whining about everything from politrics to religion: Jimmah Carter, Renaissance Wus.
His position, Carter's, postulates that the women of the Southern Baptist orgs are STUPID, MINDLESS DROIDS. That they have no "choice". They do. It amazes me, perpetually, how feminists posit women are smarter than men, and then postulate crap like Carter is. Their joint cognitive dissonance on many matters is pulling the Dems into the abyss. Make up your MINDS! Are women SMART? Or are they STUPID?
As tho women in the Southern Baptist churches aren't making conscious choices in attending the churches of their CHOICE.
Oh, offal.
Makes me think of the guys who burned Jeanne d'Arc at the stake!
This moron (Carter) needs to shutup and retire already.
Well laudy laudy, you mean the perfect former pres. jimminy carter is admitting that since he is souther babtist, he abuses women????
He really needs to get a life!
Somebody must have slipped something in Jimmy's Ensure!
He's gone off his rocker lately.
If Jimmy Carter wanted to say something that would advance the treatment of women, then he could comment on the treatment of Muslin women around the world.
Carter blasts Guantanamo detention camp
The SBC left the BWC because it was getting too political and too leftist.... mmmm I wonder where they got that idea?
Jimmy is showing signs of the early stages of Cronkitism.
I wonder if he is still "lusting in his heart" after these church ladies?
How did anyone who was once a Naval officer get so hosed up?
***This is nothing more than yet another hit piece on my church. ***
"Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!" - Luke 6:26
This is what I love about Baptists, all Baptists, even liberal ones. If you disagree, you can peacefully depart from your church. If your church disagrees, they can peacefully depart from any convention, alliance, etc., that they belong to. If members of a church disagree, they can peacefully, or maybe not, split and form two churches, both of which can affiliate with any convention they please. Or be an independent church.
This is real democracy in action
Hurry the Meds!
