I'd have to put credence in your posts to follow them. I don't.
"I don't like the way Cruz is pandering to evangelicals and I don't like when Trump feels he has to prove his religious cred."
Cruz is an evangelical. When he speaks to Christians, he's speaking to family. I don't expect you to get that.
"Leave that crap for Sunday."
What "crap" would that be?
"Silly religious crap", as one of your fellow Trump fans put it?
"Maybe if Cruz would work on his 'shtick' he had more support."
If I wanted a candidate with schtick, I'd be supporting that liberal used car salesman from Manhattan.
Someone has been preaching things along these lines. I’m glad if Ted hasn’t been swallowing it. If.
Confetti.

Perfect! See yourself.
You took the bait, Cat.
Then maybe Trump should quit casting aspersions on the provenance of another candidate’s beliefs and give some policy specifics - other than his laughable Mexico-funded wall.
That doesn't really help your point. According to information in the thread, it's not just Cruz but the entire congregation that is anointed to take dominion over the marketplace.....
That's some strange theology right there.
I’d sure be exceedingly careful with such prophecies or supposed prophecies. The world is the devil’s kingdom at present. Christians can prosper amidst it because Jesus can always overrule the devil locally, but this represents individual exceptions, not some general inversion of the ownership of the world.
Nope, my Christianity is bible based, not some nut job theology expressed by many so called evangelical christians.
Exactly what kind of “Christianity” believes in saving that “crap” for Sundays?
I see why Trump’s your boy.
He knows who he's talking to when he goes after a very churched, postgraduate Hispanic who's under 50.
He is pressing many buttons.
Laughable enough to raise general ire among liberals. Can’t be all bad. Maybe Trump won’t reach the stars, but his enemies are trembling that he will reach the moon.
other than his laughable Mexico-funded wall.”

Oh ye of little faith.
Oh is this another Cat fit. This is talking about the ill churched Trump. Look, Ice is actually trying to be fair. Can’t you appreciate that, Cat, or do you have to scratch no matter what?
Presbyterians?
Hahahaha!
Well, we agree, Trump is going where he doesn’t have the background to go.
And this is sad because it proves a smoke screen that would hide any actual serious issue with Cruz’s take on faith, or the take on faith of those who are purporting to spiritually back Cruz. Trump is blind to all that. All he can think is that if it ain’t Presbyterian it should be flouted, which cuts against his own stated goal to be supportive to Christianity in general. But anyhow, we aren’t blind to it. And to those whom much is given... much is required. The spiritually low-clue Trump is going to be held to a far, far less strict standard by the Lord... than the Cruz who is supposed to be hitting on all cylinders.
Well, this is not the first story of spiritual eccentricities about Cruz, let’s put it that way.

I would like to read about it. Can you please share one credible source. And please, not from spooner, puny, proust, BFAC, the icenut or the rest of the faux religious, under the radar gang— a reputable source. Thanks.
I.e. not from anyone who might CARE rather than want to sweep it under the rug?
No it's not - an 'anointing' is a fairly common term in any of the Spirit-filled churches.
There's literally hours of Rafael Cruz on Youtube - Pretty typical Southern Baptist, maybe a bit more spirit oriented than you might be used to... with a pretty hard patriotic edge... Pretty great to listen to. I haven't listened to them all, by any means...
But that last time that play of yours was made, I started listening to him. Big mistake on your part, getting Christians curious about him.
You aren't going to win here. Rafael Cruz is a Professor of Bible and a Professor of Theology... and tours the country speaking... Here's a pretty good example
Rafael Cruz has hours of sermons on youtube. go satisfy yourself. There's a pretty good one in my last post.
