Donald Trump's Bible study pastor called mothers serving in public office sinners

Source: Independent


Up to a dozen members of the Cabinet attend the sessions
Andrew Buncombe New York @AndrewBuncombe 6 hours ago





The pastor currently holding Bible classes in the White House - and inviting Donald Trump to attend each of them - once declared that women with young children who worked were “sinners”.

It emerged last week that Ralph Drollinger was holding weekly sessions, attended by a dozen or so of Mr Trump’s cabinet members.

“It’s the best Bible study that I’ve ever taught in my life. They are so teachable; they’re so noble, they're so learned,” Mr Drollinger told CBN News.

“These are godly individuals that God has risen to a position of prominence in our culture.”

forgot about her - why is the daughter of Mike Huckabee even working? shouldn't she be home, barefoot and pregnant, in the kitchen, waiting to graciously submit to her husband's leadership?

I don't think her oldest has started first grade yet. SHS was married in 2010.

That all humans are born from day 1 into a state of sin, then he's a sinner too. Trump prayer group just another Court of Flattery.

poor mothers to stay home with their babies?

Or is it only white, affluent mothers who are sinning by working?

I seem to get a lot of mixed messages from you guys.
(Guys being an intentionally gendered term).

That young child must be so proud of mommy.

Did he? Somehow, I don't picture Trump studying anything where there might be a God greater than him.

I believe if he were actually going to these things, the article would have said as much. But they make it clear that he was "invited".

The very idea of that clown worshipping anything but himself is absurd.
