Cruz is a good man. He is not a liar or a cheater. Do you hate all conservatives or just Ted Cruz?
And there is a difference between assessing the moral character of a candidate and applying the biblical standards for an elder.
It is however a free country, mostly, and you are individually welcome to apply such standards as you see fit. Further you may openly advocate for others to apply similar standards.
Others similarly remain free to agree, disagree, discuss, or oppose your views.
I see nothing fascist in such a system.
I think Donald Trump, despite the fact he is a sinner, as we all are, was raised up by God to tell us that He (God) can save this country if we the people turn from our sinful ways. I think that God has given Mr. Trump the “stiff forehead” and stout heart that he needs to withstand the onslaught of vicious evil that is coming his way, that is only going to get worse.
I think God is doing this for us, showing us this last grace, because He knows much of the wickedness we are seeing in this nations is being forced upon us by very wicked leadership, despite the fact, that we tried to stop this with the last 3 elections to no avail. Now He has given us this tough guy to stand up to the left and to the people on the right who we elected to do this task, and who betrayed us. But it is up to us whether Trump will succeed or not. We do have to turn away and reject all of this evil, even the parts of it that we may like.
God would not raise up a Canadian or Cuban to this. God gave us our constitution, and He would not give us a leader who by his very existence as a leader would violate our constitution any further. God will restore our constitution if we let Him by again remembering that we are one of the two nations who made a covenant with Him, and keep to the ways our forefathers promised Him that we would.
The hand of God is not upon Ted Cruz. I think it was until he made this disastrous and unconstitutional decision to run for president.
Anyway, this is how I see it. I am a sinner, my sins are akin to those of Donald Trump. I also believe I am a Christian, I certainly take my faith quite seriously, and this is what I think.
But this strikes me as something akin to the Mussolini made the trains run on time argument.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTT!!!!!
Godwin's Law, Mussolini Corollary.
Thanks for playing, David!
Better luck next time, after you get your nasty little bout of TeeDeeEss (TDS). :)
“Maybe it is the case that Donald — there have been multiple media reports about Donald’s business dealings with the mob, with the mafia,” “Maybe his taxes show those business dealings.” -Ted Cruz
Really sad, youre better than this. We should all agree, racism is wrong, KKK is abhorrent.
We cannot be a party that nominates someone who refuses to condemn white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan.- Ted Cruz
Probably the aftereffects of Stokes stroking out over the 0 for 50 drubbing Cruz got in "heavily evangelical" South Carolina...
They say it tends to scramble your brain a little bit... :)

I don’t personal think Cruz would run as vice president, but what are you going to do if your warrior god asks Cruz and he accepts, will you vote 3rd party, having been betrayed!
Just so you know, I will never vote for Trump ‘EVER’ even if Cruz accepted!
Who cares?
Was the title in Engrish?
Well you're wrong...Paul was writing about the qualifications for elders and deacons. Not political leaders. God has not been shy about raising up very flawed men to do His work on earth.
Are you tired of newbies who slam conservatives and post childish pics
Too Bad-Donglalinder 2016
Geez, Donglalinger - go easy on Cruz.
He's just another Beltway pol who HAS to say what he says to get back in power, or get more power... :)
because I have no choice.
it's a shame though. After eight long years I was hoping for a president I could respect.
No.
Moar pictures, Donglalinger! MOAR! :)
And speaking of "conservatives", 1035rep - what's with Cruz suddenly becoming a fan of the IRS? And signing onto the Media's KKK lies about Trump? Is Ted a "Consistently Scumbag Conservative"?
