Pastor Douglas Wilson of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, made waves online after arguing against women’s right to vote in a video last week.

In the video, Wilson seemed to frame the ratification of the 19th Amendment as a repudiation of the institution of the family and a man’s duty to represent his family in the public sphere.

Wilson has long been a controversial figure—both inside and outside the evangelical movement—for his charitable views of Christian nationalism and American chattel slavery, how his church has handled allegations of sexual abuse, and his methods for engaging culture, referred to by some as the “Moscow mood.”

....... Oh my goodness! The political and ideological idiocy never ends.

No, all that's happened here is that Wilson has become encrusted in his own political and social preferences and foisted them upon the Bible.

Here's an idea: let's stop pretending that where the Bible is concerned, some one denomination (or teacher) has all of the final answers about it.
