Byron York: Heidi Cruz says 'Ted is an immigrant'

No indeed. I am referencing Rafael Sr’s Dominionism. He’s on a YouTube video telling a magachurch congregation they’re all kings. Of course, according to Sr, Ted is an “anointed king.” That is close to, if not outright, blasphemy. Jesus ***earned*** the office of King; Ted accomplished no such thing.

Rafael Sr lists himself as a “professor of Bible and Theology”, initially at a school of higher learning by the name of Advance Institute, and in later resumes, as a professor (in the same subjects) at the Advanced Bible Institute.

Guess which of these two ‘institutes’ exists?

Now kindly answer the question, is Rafael a real professor?

[aumrl]

LOL - answer the question....
now don’t stamp your feet.

You have yet to answer mine.

anointed king blasphemy ?? silly

How about the’School of Hard Knocks’?
I hear he met LHO there!

[Fantasywriter]

Pure evasion.

[aumrl]

you have an appropriate ‘tag’

now let’s beat hrc

[Fantasywriter]

If you’re going to reply at all, why say something so insipid? I’d think you’d either ignore the issues completely/not reply at all, or else use a reply to address at least one of the many I raised.

Here’s an example. You can divide your loyalties between your two kings, Ted and Jesus, if you choose. I’ll stick with one and only one: Jesus.

God gave the Jews King Saul
Christ said my kingdom is not of this world.

So if Cruz had won he’d have 1, declared himself anointed by God, 2, set up a theocracy, 3, changed his title to’king,’ 4, set up a throne in the Oval Officr, and 5, decreed his offspring his successors?

I do understand, btw, that Saul’s offspring did not succeed him. But for his sin they would have, however; that’s part of being a Saul-type king.

[aumrl]

purely hypothetical

and since tc doesn’t have any male children we wouldn’t have had to worry about that

try to focus on facts

[Fantasywriter]

You brought Saul into it. If you’re going to use Saul as a rationale for having a king other than Jesus, then you must accept the baggage that goes with it.

Ted having no male children is a non-issue. He’s only forty-five. As soon as he sets up his theocracy, he can decree the legalization of multiple wives (citing King David as the precedent). Then he can just keep adding wives and progeny until he gets a son.

As soon as he sets up his theocracy

Is this after Texas secedes?

[Fantasywriter]

Someone has suggested that it isn’t sacrilegious for a Christian to have two kings—Ted and Jesus—because kings ruled Israel. By that logic, had Cruz won the election, he’d have turned the US into a theocracy.

[aumrl]

Just like beck;
you are an idiot

[Fantasywriter]

Insisting that there is only one King might appear idiotic to some:

1 Corinthians 1:18

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

[aumrl]

King of kings
And Lord of lords
But my kingdom is not of this world was His admonition

You are saying that all kings, throughout history have been an affront to G-d?
silly

[Fantasywriter]

Per Scripture Jesus is our “only Sovereign.” The New Testament refers to followers of Christ by a variety of names. It NEVER refers to them/us as ‘kings.’ Never.

If you’re still referring to Cruz as a king in the tradition of Saul, David, and Solomon, that’s stupid. The US doesn’t have kings. We are a Republic.

[aumrl]

Who said ‘render unto caesar’ ?

YOU were the one who was alleging cruz was a king.

[Fantasywriter]

Totally incorrect. It is Rafael Sr who insists that Ted is a king—an anointed king. Rafael Jr has never denied it, but he does utilize Sr as an official spokesman.

Sr also says Jr’s ordained role is to plunder the wicked and bring the spoil to the priests. And wouldn’t you know it—Sr just happens to be one such priest.
