Cruz claims to be anointed (part of dominion theology), he tells people to put on the whole armor of God (again misuse of Scripture) to prepare for political attacks against him. His father likens him to a prophet (by their fruits). All you have to do is see the Cruzers on here who place him on messiah level as the ‘only one’ who can ‘save this country’. I am a cult deprogrammer, and I see a lot of cult like characteristics in the Cruz camp.
I am too, trained in theophostics ans deliverance. Very well versed in the lies of Dominionism. Just spent the last 5 years dealing with a large dominionist cult but I have yet to hear some key phrases pop up. I will be watching.
The use of the armor of God for politics is indeed odd, but being in the position of cantidate for the president you better be anointed for it or you are going where you ought not. and if so, you will be opposed, so bring your armor.
Context changes things. Sarah talks like a dominionist, Ted? Never noticed, but possible. If so, he is not annointed and will be a disaster.
Strange you did not mention the Trump camp. The biggest sign is the fill in the blank faith that Donald will do as he says, not as he does. When shown history, they are willing to make excuses and generate a new history on the spot. When confronted wit the lack of plan they provide one for him. Classic reality disconnect syndrome. Another very clear syndrome is the adoption of personality traits from the leader, surely you have noticed the adoption of beligerant insults and egocentric speech patterns.
Truely the American societal norm has tendencies in sports, music and politics towards cultism, we worship Hollywood even though we know they are actors. But the Trump thing is rght up there with Obamas following.
With no God, america will follow any foolish thing.
