The subject of women in political leadership carries with it no little political correctness discourse even among the most conservative individuals. Many Christians were googlie-eyed at the thought of Palin as President. I was not. This is a subject I believe needs to be faced honestly to understand God’s design in Creation and how Christians in the Republican Party will flesh out their Biblical beliefs. We do have a problem in the Republican party and it’s called political correctness wedded with theological ignorance. Indeed, many in leadership are stating that we need to return to our roots. But many ask, what are our roots? We claim gay marriage is wrong in society, but why?, because the Bible says homosexuality is wrong? Well the Bible shows male leadership as the general norm in scripture both in the home and in society so why have we turned our back on this principle? What we have in our country today is a lack of theological understanding because Christians do not read their Bible and do not understand what God designed. I am writing a book about the subject myself write now. This video with Voddie Baucham sheds some light on the problem.

Totally ignoring the idiocy in the previous comment….
I asked my pastor about this, and his understanding is that women to do pastor to men. There are some great female leaders in the Bible, but they aren’t preachers. So, I’m not sure why there is an issue.

Debra was the leader of Israel. Read all about it in the Bible. So your claim against female leadership is erroneous.
