To some evangelicals, Palin's career violates biblical teachings

In a white-steepled church along a stretch in picturesque canyon country, the preacher laid out the basic blueprint of a godly marriage: Husbands lead, wives submit.

Speaking recently before hundreds of worshipers at Placerita Baptist Church in Newhall, guest preacher Chris Mueller affirmed the view that loving male headship and gracious wifely submission are God's plan for spouses.

Placerita, like many conservative Christian churches, teaches that a wife's role is to be her husband's helpmate (Genesis), "workers at home" (Titus) and submissive to her husband in everything (Ephesians).

So how do these congregants square such teachings with their support for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the conservative evangelical Christian who is aiming to become vice president while her teenage daughter is pregnant, her infant son has Down syndrome and her husband took a leave from work to serve as "Mr. Mom," as People magazine put it?

I have never seen the LA Slimes take such an interest in The Bible before.

[Cementjungle]

The LA Times, our moral compass!

[singfreedom]

Dang, now that’s a new perspective for the L.A. Times! (Yeah, I had to check three times to make sure that’s what I was reading.) Since when has the LA Times cared what
evangelicals think? Does this sound dopey to anyone else?

Oh, that’s right, they’re trying to influence an election by reminding evangelicals what they believe!

I think of her as a Deborah.

[Gondring]

Amazing.

Mau Mauing MSM headline:

Palin called global warming threat
Palin's Carbon Footprint A Danger to Earth, Say Experts
"She's much too active, all the sports and shooting and stuff."

[longtermmemmory]

For the LA Times to report this as main christianity is the height of yellow journalism.

[TChad]

So Weekly World News is being published under a new name! It’s great to have it back. Now we can learn whether or not the aliens support Sarah Palin.

Maybe Sarah is submitting to Todd. Maybe he told her to go kick some butt...lol.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m guessing that of all the names that show up on the employee roles at the LA Times, Esther isn’t one of them.

JOURNALISM

[cherry]

and NOW this angle......LOL.....LOL

[tioga]

they said all this about Hillary, too....right? thought not.

[Chet 99]

Like the small percentage of Evangelicals who believe women should stay home barefoot and pregnant read this rag? Who are they trying to influence with this drivel?

[Recovering_Democrat]

Yes, and some newsrooms in this country present political news in a balanced way.

Same analogy.

[Wuli]

For what possible reason is someone’s religion suddenly a proper inquisitorial role for the L.A. times, in “investigating” Mrs Palin, other than to hope the “investigation” will put some distance between her and “evangelicals” who might vote for her. The L.A. times has never acted before that it had any need to help “defend” the “true” positions of evangelicals and no one should be fooled that it suddenly gives two hoots about them now.

[freeangel]

Perhaps they need to read about Esther. You know, the story about the woman who helps save her nation.
