Rafael Cruz: “I Implore Every Member of the Body of Christ to Vote According to the Word of God”
Gateway Punduit ^ | May 2, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 05/02/2016 9:25:26 AM PDT by C19fan

Pastor Rafael Cruz, father of Ted Cruz, asked members of the Body of Christ to vote Cruz:

“I implore every member of the Body of Christ to vote according to the word of God. And vote for the candidate that stands for the word of God and the Constitution of the United States of America… The alternative could be the destruction of America.”

God told me not to vote for a religion-exploiting huckster who thinks he’s anointed to bring about the end-times transfer of wealth from the wicked to the righteous.

My father is a born again Christian. He does not like Ted Cruz and this is why.

I know there are those that do not understand why Cruz has been rejected. He has been rejected because he is acting like God has sanctioned his rise and they want no part of it.

I started out as neutral between Trum & Cruz. But Cruz began to openly embrace the tactics of deception; to bear "false witness" by cherry picking data & words from years back, completely out of context, and then grossly ignoring every aspect of that context, while putting out completely distorted interpretations of those words & data. So i endorsed Donald Trump.

Since endorsing Donald Trump, I have repeatedly made the point that Cruz was making a mockery of his own avowed theology, by openly mocking the Ninth Commandment. I do not believe that anyone here has challenged me on that interpretation or point.

I understand that a father will some times stretch the facts to help his child. Is there any other conceivable justification for this sort of behavior? Let us hope the good people of Indiana write a conclusion to this not at all funny farce, tomorrow!!

Is it true that there is a picture of Rafael Cruz with Lee Harvey Oswald?

I agree. It was embarrassing to listen to him today as he shouted one lie after another. I just don't get it. He started of great and then he unraveled and became obsessed with Trump instead of telling us why we should vote for him.

???? Seriously? It is probably the correct thing for a pastor to say. You sound like a Trump gestapo or something. One of FR’s foundation is honoring God.

He does Deut 30.

no getting around making constant daily vote - be it election, friendships, how late to stay up, what to eat, wear. All day long we vote for God or against.

To top it off He gives us the answer!
Tells us He prefers we choose the things of LIFE - so there’s no reason to get it wrong, but selfish reasons.

what a God :)

He was just remarking that we should not put people in power that disregard God’s Word. Trump has married 3 times, OK, give the guy some grace, but tossing your wife to get a younger one,....twice, kinda degrades the Idea of “love”.

Dear, Chuckles,

Shall we examine King David, Kind Solomon’s father? He committed adultery with Bathsheba and HAD HER HUSBAND MURDERED to try to cover it up! So by your own admission, you would not vote for King David for President! Jesus Christ is of the seed of David, and you wouldn’t vote for him! I really think you should reconsider whether you are really listening to the Holy Spirit of YHWH or Lucifer, the God of this Age, the Prince of the Air.

Just saying.

We get it, you are perfect, and if you are a “true Christian”, you vote for the guy that quotes the Bible the most.....because well, that’s all there is to it. Reasons beyond that are for sinners.

People are sick of being lectured by the biggest group of utter political novices in America on who to vote for. People that have failed over and over again to do much more than shoot off their mouths and hide behind Jesus so when you manage to screw up, you can just say “it wasn’t in God’s plan” or something.

You people were the ones telling us to vote for Huckabee, and Santorium for the same reasons you are DEMANDING we vote for Cruz. Not because they are good candidates, and have the savvy to win, just that God wills it. Even if they loose 49 states, you are happy that you had a candidate that could beat you in Bible trivia.

“He’s a pretender. A pew sitter. I’m willing to bet he hasn’t gone to church more than a couple of times this year, and that was photo ops.”

Reagan didnt either. If you were true to your windbag speech, then it is safe to say you voted for Carter TWICE.

Unless you want to tell us you voted against a Sunday school teacher.

We are here to try to turn this ship around for once instead of listening to this army of virtue signalling wimps that think because they go to church more than X person, that this makes you overloards over everyone else.

depends if you view God as social justice warrior/enabler.
or
see God as Best Father ever who encourages, leads us out of old bad ways and at times uses discipline and all forms of love and nutting, not just the comfortable stuff.

Many wonderful preachers and pastors of today waffle in areas, as do many in the Body.

I also was stunned by the amount of churches my area that give out food boxes and so proud about the number of boxes they give out but have NO NO NO system in place to connect with those people outside of twice monthly food box, to actually get to know the needs, help them in ways out of enabled life. Those churches are enabling and just pridefully tallying numbers so they can feel better about themselves and that they “helped”.

likely illegals, most don’t speak english is what I was told when I once offered to help distribute boxes. Once I realized the food was govt subsidized and they had no system for actually connecting with the people to invite to church or truly help the people, I told them it was against God in my eyes to not have a cut off period of how long people could stay on the list for food without any sort of way to support them to get off the list.

I like Franklin Graham and much of what he says, but don’t forget he too is human.
