I wouldn’t put too much stock in anything the media says. Ted Cruz has a lot more in his playbook than religion.
There is a strong libertarian streak in NH and Ted Cruz appeals to them as well.
I consider myself a connoisseur of vanity posts, and I mean it most sincerely when I say that yours is quite good. Trump supporters will probably weigh in, but that’s not what you’re writing about, so ignore them...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
u write too much. Be more like trump. Simpleton.
If he were honest he would run his campaign with a slogan like "I'm not the President you want. I'm the President you need." I'm not saying that he should pretend he is a god that will save us, but instead that he is like foul-tasting medicine or chemotherapy.
But that sort of message won't fly.
Cruz didn’t win because he is a Christian. As far as I know, all the candidates are Christians.
Cruz won because he was bolder than Trump.
He sent shaming letters to Iowa evangelical voters comparing their voting history with their neighbors. They got out to vote in record numbers to improve their “grade”.
The median income level of black families was rising from 1946 to LBJ. Then came LBJ’s “Great Society”.
“If you look at the plight of blacks today vs then, a case could be made that is was better then.
Better watch it...same case was made by the pre-Civil War South and we know how that turned out.
Nice hijack noob. Guy writes a beautiful thread post, and a douche like you comes along and plays douchy doucherson
Excellent post. Keep praying, as i know u r. My phone goes off every day at 3:20 to remind me to pray for our country to return to God.
A friend told me today that her husband is attending a group that meets every Tuesday to pray for the upcoming election, that this is a growing movement. I hope so.
What a wonderful article and testimony of your faith, I couldn’t add one thing to your God inspired composition. Thank you....I feel God is interceding in this election and has raised up such a man to restore America and that man is Ted Cruz.....many are praying, not just a few MANY for this to happen. If God be for us who can be against us?
It’s not that the folks in NH are not Christian. It’s that in the Northeast religion is considered a private thing. I’ve lived here most of my life and I cannot recall anyone asking about my religion. But our churches are pretty full.
I went to visit my sister in MS and I was asked at least once a day what church I went to. It was annoying. I told one of them I was a Jew...just to get a reaction out of them.
The drug problem in NH is no worse than anywhere else. The kids are not running wild. The girls’ virtue is intact.
Great post.
Our elite hate “evangelical Christians”. Cruz understands this at more than an empathetic level. He is Christian but unlike Santorum and huckabee he has intellectual skills and experience to fix this.
The justice dept has fought at WAR against Christians and churches. Trump understands but has no real basis for helping. The justice dept and judicial appointments under Cruz will be better than any republican candidate in history. The IRS will be nuked hard for its selective enforcement of tax exempt statuses designed to gut the first amendment.
Moreover the related antisemitism of Obama will be unraveled and crushed by Cruz. This is why religious liberty is so pivotal for national recovery. Israel is pro human rights and borders key problem areas like Syria. Imagine a president on Israelis side against Isis and Iran.
Even Richard Dawkins is realizing Christians are a necessary global reality.
Trump doesn’t know the difference between an offering plate and a communion plate. They’re all offering plates to him.
Loaded question. Atheists will compare secular countries as Sweden with religious ones like the Philippines, but that is not a valid comparison, as would be a comparison btwn groups in which basically all other things are equal, or weighted accordingly when not.
But that the liberal ethos is destructive is well evidenced. See here .
As we look back to Viet Nam, what do we remember of those years? The pill, free sex, drugs, burning the flag, rebellion, loss of faith. We never lost a battle, yet lost the war. You can explain away what you want, or blame what you want, but lose, we did.
If we look at the Biblical significance of what is happening today, The Antichrist will be an Assyrian,( that would be N Iraq or Syria), He will put together a coalition of Europeans to fight in the great war against Israel,( Europe has already lost, as more refugees are already there than in all their military's put together), he will have one eye and a withered arm( Zech 11:17) and probably be a homosexual.(Dan 11:37) The false Prophet will easily fool the ones left with tricks that look like miracles because they don't know the Scriptures. If we turn on Israel, we will be cursed by God. The Bible says we did abandon them. Zech 14:2 says ALL Nations, that would include America.
I'm just sad this great country must fail on my watch. Leviticus 18:22-30 explains that we cannot be ignored after gay marriage. Judgement is coming,...and I believe soon. I know I will be painted as a Bible kook for believing the Word of God but it is a matter of my faith. I'm just a voice in the wilderness trying to put "The Other Side" out there. Eze 33:1-33 says we are put here as watchmen. It's our duty to warn when the trumpet sounds to keep their blood off our head. There is more to being a Christian than sitting in a pew and voting. Anyone that relies on God's providence would do, it doesn't have to be Cruz, but I know about Cruz. Don't listen to what they say, but look at their fruit.
Great post.
I need to be on my knees more, and in his word more. I’ve been slacking. Thanks for the reminder.
I don’t know if we’ll have a big revival or the end. One way or another, something has to give. I think it will be a drastic year if we make it to the end of it.
Noob?
