Really? This is relevant somehow?
Who believes Cruz is a better candidate in the general?
If you are going to post a link why not make it a clickable link
rather than something that has to be copied pasted, etc.
{as some believe that Cruz is seen in the video “speaking in tongues” (also known as glossolalia) — a religious gift that purportedly permits certain Christians to speak and interpret a special language that comes directly from God.}
1 Corinthians 14
Let love be your highest goal! But you should also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives—especially the ability to prophesy. For if you have the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking only to God, since people won’t be able to understand you. You will be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it will all be mysterious.
And this is a problem because?...
To be specific, is he just speaking Spanish? Hard to tell
It would be refreshing to have someone in there who considers God a friend.
To be the most ideological perfect candidate, Cruz is the opposite in almost everything else. I’m really getting tired of headlines like this.
During WWII, my father dropped a torpedo on a Japanese submaring and reported an oil slick and debris field after detonation.
I guess I’m guilty of murdering about 100 Japanese people.
Should I turn myself in?
I saw this on Drudge and honestly thought this was over the top.
Drudge hurt himself today.
Turn on the Closed Captioning - I laughed so hard I woke the dog...
Open your ears. His father is saying Hallelujah. He is not speaking in so called tongues, and what if he was?
I was brought up in the Church of God and they spoke in tongues. Their belief was that if someone spoke in tongues someone else in the church would interpret what the speaker said. My mother believed in it until the day she died.
All religions change over the years. As the public starts to make fun of people speaking in tongues churches stop doing it. The church I grew up in taught that women should not cut their hair. In the 80s they dropped the rule. I was never told that God sent them word that it was okay to go to the beauty shop.
And keep in mind the Mormons quit having plural marriages. However, they never said Joseph Smith was wrong so it’s still part of their “belief”.
Is the implication here that people speaking in tongues are crazy, and this somehow disqualifies Cruz from running? Is it supposed to indicate that he is a crazy, religious lunatic whose father is in a deranged evangelical cult?
Well guess what? I have the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and I speak in tongues every day, and I’m proud of it! I believe that for the true Pentecostal, tongues should flow from our lips, like living waters. And when I do, the tip of my tongue burns, like it’s on fire: Acts 2:3-4 describes the tongue of fire landing on each of the disciples accompanying the manifestation.
I guess I’m a member of the deranged evangelical Christian-right looney-bin cult, too. All my intense studying of current events and issues doesn’t count. Oh well.
In any event, I’ve seen how bad it’s gotten on FR on Trump vs. Cruz and have elected to stay out of it. Though I personally support Cruz but can live with a Trump nomination (I think we’re going to have to), but this video obviously doesn’t persuade me away from Cruz.
So now the Trump tactic is to ridicule religious people? Nice.
and??????
the Bible on Speaking in Tongues
1 Corinthians 14:23 - If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in [those that are] unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
1 Corinthians 14:2 - For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth [him]; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
Mark 16:17 - And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Acts 2:4 - And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 19:6 - And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
So?
Well if Kenneth Copeland prophesied a Cruz victory, we know it won’t be happening...
