In the end we have to decide for ourselves and it is a difficult decision. Of this I am sure, one man is of God, and one is of the father of Lies. One will destroy America, the other may save Her. The problem lies in deciding which.

I will start by saying this, if you had told me, circa 1980 that I would ever consider voting for Donald Trump for president I would have told you that was the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, and you don’t know me at all to even suggest such a preposterous thing. I did NOT like or approve of Donald Trump!

But now, this is a very different world. And Donald Trump is a different man. And I am a very different sort of Christian than I used to be, one one hand much more mellow, on the other hand, much more old testament-ish. And I am very cynical. And I don’t put much stock in people who make a big deal out of their Christian faith, usually they end up stabbing you in the back, if they don’t it is because they are little more honest, and they stab in you in the chest. Real Christians just don’t talk about it much at all (unless you ask) they just live it.

Christ warns us, indeed He commands us, not to be deceived. I think too, that God does not play tricks on us.

So here we have two men, quite different, who have stood up and said that he will do all that he can to save this country.

One old man has pledged his own fortune that he has earned to do so. The other has not, because he earned has no fortune. He set out to acquire his fortune and power through elected office.

One man is old. He has amassed wealth and fame; and so wields power already; he already enjoys the good life in abundance. He is at an age where men step aside, rest, enjoy their children, their grandchildren, their possessions, write books, practice philanthropy, play golf, but he looks around, he sees chaos, his countrymen in great distress, and he sees, he knows, the terrible corruption in govt, diseased corrupt govt that spreads its sickness into every corner of this once noble land, a land that is also suffering a invasion of devouring hordes aliens who bring only more disease. chaos, and corruption, and nothing good. And so he decides he will not rest but he will take a stand for his country and give what is left of his life to try to save his country, despite the risk to his life, to his children’s inheritance, to his peace of mind, to his reputation, and to his family, even to his life, he has to wear a bullet-proof vest.

And then we have an ambitious young man, who also stands up, he is climbing the political ladder, he has married well, he has made good political connections, but he does not pledge his own money, he borrows money to advance his political career and lies about it, he finds a niche for himself in the Christian community, he says the right things, perhaps he is sincere, many think he is. But where does the financial support for his campaign come from? Has God provided it? Has Cruz earned it himself? Is Cruz’ climb to the presidency truly selfless? Is there ANY real personal sacrifice he is making to do this?

Is this not in fact Cruz’ heart’s desire? Is not the presidency the pinnacle of the politician’s career?

So the question here, is a Cruz presidency God’s heart’s desire?

And here is where the NBC issue comes in. If it were indeed God’s heart desire to raise up Cruz as the man of God who will save this nation, if the spirit of God were with Cruz, would not God, who sees the beginning from the end, and the end from the beginning, have ensured that Cruz met the Article II,I,5, condition so that there would be no impediment to his presidency?

Would God send such a legally flawed man to stand in the gap when His people are in such peril who by the very circumstances of his birth and parentage could not save his people, because another man, with the very same constitutional defect, had placed His people in this peril in the first place? And thereby by this very presidency forever ensuring that the people of this country would forevermore be in peril from the kind of presidency that our forefathers wisely sought to protect us from in the first place?

Now this next is for Christians, my Jewish friends can think of this as they will. (as a matter of fact, I guess this whole essay is for Christians)

When He sent His only begotten son to the world it was His dearest wish that His chosen people, the Jews, recognize Him as their Savior, and their Messiah, and so Jesus was born their hereditary King. There was no enthroned King of the Jews in Israel in that time, but the lineage of Jesus Christ, both through his early father Joseph and through his mother Mary made Him indeed the hereditary King of Israel.

Now that is the way God works, and for us too, in this case, this would be a sign for us also so we would not be deceived. If God raises up a man (or woman) to be our head of state he would have from his birth all of the qualifications for this task. The Constitution of the United States, is the most sacred, albeit secular, document of this second covenant nation, which He has made so much greater than the first, and God will abide by it, no matter how we may twist and distort these noble words to get something that we think we want that is not good for us.

So, again, consider these things, to determine who is the man who the Christian should chose.

1) NBC, it really is truly important. It is God’s hint if you cannot figure it out from the other clues.
2) Personal ambition? Is this is a young ambitious man’s next career step? Is he really intent on saving this country and the constitution, or is he really intent on doing what is necessary to further his own career? What really motivates him? He is young with half of his life ahead of him!
3) Money and endorsements. Who benefits from these two presidencies? Do not consider your own biases for this task. You are commanded by Christ not to be deceived. Therefore you are forbidden to have biases. So the fact that you like Cruz’ apparent puritanism and theonomy. and you think Trump was a playboy back in the day are not to be considered; instead look at the here and now and the trouble we are in and who these two men really are. Where does Cruz’ support come from? Who are the Cruz delegates? How does he win? What does Cruz do versus what he says? Who are the people who surround Cruz? Are they friends of God? Is Glenn Beck a friend of God? Mitt Romney? Jeb Bush? Are any of the Washington Elites coalesced around, and supporting Cruz, who would vote for Hillary if Trump were the nominee friends of God? Or friends of the people of this country? Look at Cruz friends. They are powerful. They are helping him. So is God using them to help Cruz, or they using Cruz to stop Trump? That is the question you have to decide. But when you make that decision, remember these people hate and despise you, Cruz has accepted their friendship, their endorsements and their money; they are his friends.

Now, look at Trump, disregard what you have decided you think for a moment, and look at what Trump’s enemies think of him. They are America’s enemies, and they are most certainly God’s enemies. And they hate and despise you.

Think it over.
