Jimmy Carter Leaves Church Over Treatment of Women
AOL ^ | 07/20/2009 | Ria Misra

Posted on 07/20/2009 1:17:14 PM PDT by Paige

After more than 60 years together, Jimmy Carter has announced himself at odds with the Southern Baptist Church -- and he's decided it's time they go their separate ways. Via Feministing, the former president called the decision "unavoidable" after church leaders prohibited women from being ordained and insisted women be "subservient to their husbands."

I thought the same, and that he had joined some liberal wing of the “Free Baptists.”

Jimmah’s gotta problem with the Southern Baptists but he’s A-OK with the Palestinians, Hamas & Hezbollah because we all know how respectful of women they are. /sarc

This has got to be a really old story ~ Jimmuh was said to have left the SBC a very long time ago ~ something about him hating Jews and them not.

He must be nearly totally senile now.

My question is: How does Jimmah Cartah feel about how Muslim Women are treated?

What an idiot.

Colossians 3:18-19
“Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.”

Ephesians 5:25
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her”

Let’s see...

I just can’t place my finger on it, but there is some entity that takes what is wholesome and true and from God and twists it slightly to make it ugly and false...

Just can’t think of who that would be.

Jimmah Cahtah should leave the country for his shameless, treasonous treatment of his fellow Americans and country.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

One of the most loathsome, worthless POS American’s ever. A total used condom.

“subservient to their husbands”

arggg... Thats not what they say they say submit not be subservient those are close concepts but not the same. I submit to my boss at work but as a person I am not subservient to him.

They also, like always ignore the commands for a husband to love his wife as Christ loves the church even unto death.

More Chaff for the fire..

The Bible is in complete contradiction of all liberal ideology,
but liberals choose their ideology over biblical truth every time.

At first glance of the thread title, the thought came to me; I thought Bill Clinton was the only womanizer of the ex-dem POTUS club...

LOL, I was just teaching about husband-wife relations from Colossians 3:18-19 in Sunday School the Sunday before last, and specifically mentioned the fact that there are a lot of people out there who purposefully misrepresent what Christianity teaches about the wife’s submission to her husband to try to cast it in a negative light.

Jimmie does not understand.

If he wants to be a bride of Yah'shua,
he needs to obey Yah'shua.

If Jimmie wants to commit spiritual adultery,
he is free to leave and reject Yah'shua.

Jimmy Carter has been an apostate for a long time. He does not believe the Bible . If he did he would submit to its precepts. So this is not a big surprise.

WTF is this? The name of some journal (could I call it a "rag"?). It has a very nasty connotation to it that must have been lost on the confused old man.

Since he has become the friend of Islam he must think that the Baptist does not beat women hard enough and often enough.

But Jimmy must not have much problem with how women are treated in Muslim countries like Iran or how women in Cuba are forced into prostitution with foreign tourists as the only means they have of making ends meet in the worker’s paradise.

I’m a woman and I appreciate the role God created for me in the family and in the church.

It’s nice to not feel like I have to run and manage EVERYTHING on this planet. Some women my age think I’m old fashioned, but actually I think I’m pretty cool.

>> JC left the S Baptist church years ago. Did he rejoin, to leave again? <<

The author of this article appears to be very careless. Carter says he left the SBC “after 60 years.” Nowhere in his opinion piece does he say WHEN the leaving took place.

Carter was born in 1924. So if he was baptised at around age 12 — like most SBC members from Georgia — then he probably left the church at around age 72, or some twelve years ago.

Apparently, Carter’s departure from the SBC was about as empty as Alec Baldwin’s emigration from the US in 2000 if W were elected President.

That’s that thing about liberals, they never really go away when they say they will.
