Ephesians 6:10

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Has probably never been used to get votes in a presidential election.

Knee jerk reactions that blast posts like this accomplish nothing.

I like Ted Cruz (would like Trump/Cruz) but the stuff in these videos is disturbing. I’ve always been troubled by the fact that his wife is a VP at Goldman Sachs.

Given how much Cruz invokes Christianity, I presume he and his wife have consistently given at least 10% of their earnings to church/charity of some kind. It’s one thing that is black and white in the New Testament. I look forward to the time when that info is released. To me it will be telling of how much I should really trust him.

So Baptists should not be allowed in politics, or just any Christians who don't support Trump? Explain?

I never said anything like that, so can't explain!

Liberals vote for any terrible, active sinner to lead the country because they will condone all the sins the voter wants to commit.

Conservatives won’t vote for anyone but perfection, because they only want to be led by perfection.

Is it any wonder why no conservatives are ever elected?

Which is true, since Cruz's supporters insist he IS perfect, and don't want to vet him, though they've been insufferable with the Trump bashing lately.

Thanks for the research. Having been raised in a cult, I am very leery of any religious figure saying anything that isn’t in my Bible.

I am especially leery of any religion tied into a political movement or a political movement tied into religion. Our FF were equally concerned I believe because they included the First Amendment in the Constitution, i.e. Freedom of Religion.

This is a large country with many beliefs. They are equally protected. Anytime one religion seeks political power based on their superiority, disaster will follow.

I keep hearing that Ted Cruz, as President, will set up a theocracy. Problem with that argument is that Ted Cruz is a strict constitutionalist, and the Constitution prohibits the establishment of a national religion.

Seems to me that Ted Cruz happens to be proud of Christian beliefs. I find it refreshing that after all these years of leaders turning their backs on God and/or being afraid to show their beliefs for fear of offending someone. This nation needs to get back to God, and I think Ted Cruz will be the one to lead us there.

The deal with a nasty piece of work like this is that the more you babble, the more of you is revealed.

It's the exact opposite. The more I write posts like this, the more inventive my opponents get in making stuff up.

You ARE kidding me, right? Ever heard of the inquisition? Ever heard of the Roman Empire State Religion? Pray to idols if you want, claim that Mary remained a virgin if that make you feel good, claim that a cracker becomes God by the words of a priest... but man... don’t become a history revisionist!

Nice to see I’m not the only one who finds Cruz’ approach contrived and calculated

Many do, but reading the replies, you can see why most don’t comment.

I mean really!!

Can’t we see fit to attack the Marxist enemy Dhimmicrat party and then let the best anti lib candidate win?

I am not just now learning about any of the people you conflate into a single group. I have known about them all except Beck for 30+ years.

That you seem to think that you can merge all of these into a single theology is the silliest thing I have ever read from you.

You are a very confused person.

It is. Been using it a while now. It’s very descriptive of what his type is. A cancer eating away at conservative thought, principle and values.
