Cruz’ father make me question Ted’s mental fitness.
I question how anyone with a functioning intellect can convert from Catholicism to pentacostalism.
That usually is a sign of minimal intellectual capacity, a history of drug or alcohol abause, being divorced and bitter, purposeful ignorance, rebellion, stupidity, moral weakness or early onset dementia.
I distrust Rafael because of his support for Castro and his strange (50 yr) path to citizenship. He was against the Cuban exile community and passed out literature demanding lock-up or punishment for non-Castro sympathizers in America while at UT. He ends up with five other Castro expats that were sent to Texas. Why would he bypass the Florida Cuban communities when he came thru Key West. Can’t figure out how he was immediately accepted to U of Texas and who paid for it all. How did he begin university studies with no knowledge of English? Lots of unanswered questions.
Plus, I wonder why Ted seals his records and his mother has never been interviewed. And, I distrust his father because he was a bigamist for decades. Many people here distrust his religion and his father proselytizing that faith. I never heard of his faith, but found this:
DOMINION THEOLOGY IS A BID FOR WORLDLY POWER.
Simply stated, Dominion Theology is not Biblical. It is not a doctrinal belief that emerges from a careful study of the Holy Scriptures. Typically it emerges in the heady milieu of a wave of success in a nation’s economic, political, and military successes. Religious enterprises soon follow this. So in this sense Dominionism is really a form of religious populism or religious nationalism.
Dominion Theology was showcased in the history of the former British Empire. It rose up in the Edwardian period during those heady early years of the 20th century. We shall be looking at the British experience with Dominion Theology further down in this article.
National pride and hubris is a great spiritual danger. The temptation is to assume power and authority over others instead of being a servant before God. This is inclined to happen when a nation comes into great blessings. The prophets of Israel warned God’s covenant people about this danger. Indeed this theme of corruption right in the midst of God’s blessings is a theme that recurs throughout the Old Testament.
