That's not what happened here at all - Cruz never had standards, and yet easily conned you Tedlims into thinking he did...
Trump brags about how many married women he’s slept with. No problem. Says he’s never needed forgiveness from God for anything. No problem.
If Cruz had those standards it wouldn’t matter what he did. So Cruz’s “sin” - according to the way people here act - is that he ever stood for standards in the first place.
That’s where America is at, and that includes “conservatives”. We prefer the boastful fornicator to the “hypocrite”.
Romans 1:32 gives the ultimate judgment on the Roman people. It’s bad enough that the people are depraved in their thinking and do bad stuff, but the ultimate statement is “they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
I realize that politics is not the same thing as “religion”. But the mindset of the American people is a very, very sad thing to behold. The country is decaying because there is very little salt to preserve the meat. And anybody who does try to be salt is immediately shot down because they might be a sinner, as their very profession of Christianity is supposed to mean.
America is in worse condition than even I ever thought. I seriously doubt whether this nation can be saved. The only One who could do it is God but that’s not where we’re looking for help.
