Rafael Cruz: “I Implore Every Member of the Body of Christ to Vote According to the Word of God”
Gateway Punduit ^ | May 2, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 05/02/2016 9:25:26 AM PDT by C19fan

Pastor Rafael Cruz, father of Ted Cruz, asked members of the Body of Christ to vote Cruz:

“I implore every member of the Body of Christ to vote according to the word of God. And vote for the candidate that stands for the word of God and the Constitution of the United States of America… The alternative could be the destruction of America.”

When Ted blamed TRUMP for the leftists causing trouble at Trumps rally, he lost me.

I don't know Trumps religious views. From what I can tell he doesn't seem to have much. But he does seem to be at least fairly honorable.

Cruz on the other hand waves his about for everyone to take notice. And quickly discarded them when it was convenient to stab Trump.

No Thanks!!!

I'll trust an honorable "non-Christian"
vs
a dishonorable "Christian".

Will you vote for Trump if he is the nominee?

Or will you vote for Hillary?

From the lips of a pastor, that seems like a good thing to say. Ted Cruz’s dad is not a politician; he’s a pastor. Pastors *should* encourage biblically-informed voting.

While I absolutely agree with you that pastors should ecourage bibilically-informed voting, Ted's dad is out stumping for his son. Unless it can be shown that he engaged in the same exact conduct during previous presidential election campaigns (i.e., used his pastor position to encourage folks to vote), it's nothing more than a self-serving message.

If God was willing to tell us how to vote, wouldn’t he tell us to vote for Him?

How can any sane voter in Indiana think to cast their valuable vote for Ted Cruz and his nutcase idiots? It’s far beyond me as to why. Cruz needs a “Strait Jacket, tons of meds & a lengthy mental hospital stay”...not a vote!!!

It would be good if everyone remained calm and thought about the whole situation carefully. Here are some points for such consideration:

1) Rafael Cruz is not running for president.
2) Rafael Cruz is about as theologically discerning as Glenn Beck, and should be accorded the same amount of credibility ... none.
3) Rafael Cruz has no standing whatever with large swaths, if not a majority, of Christians in this country; and what he is saying is plainly nonsensical and, yes, unscriptural and irresponsible.
4) Rafael Cruz is not Ted Cruz.
5) Rafael Cruz is Ted’s father whether Ted likes it or not.
6) Rafael Cruz is to theology what Bernie Sanders is to economics, both would be more respected than they are now if they simply stopped talking.

Picking according to the word of God. Carter and Bush were both fine Christian men. No, I will not vote that way. It’ll piss a few off I’m sure, but preachers should leave government to other men and stick to preaching.

The level of discourse here on FR is frankly become disgusting. I feel like I'm on DU or Hufpo reading some posts here. There's not one of you that don't know what Cruz's father was saying, but act like he's from another planet.

He was just remarking that we should not put people in power that disregard God's Word. Trump has married 3 times, OK, give the guy some grace, but tossing your wife to get a younger one,....twice, kinda degrades the Idea of "love". He loves Planned Parrenthood, That's straight out of Lucifer. He's for gay marriage, again, give me chapter and verse for that one. He's for molesters hanging out at the mall bathrooms waiting for your child, that just takes a little common sense. Cursing from his filthy mouth, can blessing come from the same mouth that curses? Romans 1:32 says you can't support sin and say you don't sin because you aren't the one doing it.

There are dozen's more, but if you look at Trump and don't see who he is, you completely lack discernment. He couldn't quote even one favorite verse, and spoke of "Two Corinthians".

He's a pretender. A pew sitter. I'm willing to bet he hasn't gone to church more than a couple of times this year, and that was photo ops.

I admit, I am a little different than most. I go to church every Sunday and Wed. I teach Sunday school and have Bible studies in my home every week. But a candidate for POTUS should be at least familiar with something Christian. Just his statement about being "neutral" towards Israel should shake you to your core. America WILL NOT STAND without Israel. America again, WILL NOT STAND according to Leviticus 18:22-30. A Christian would never support Pelosi, Clinton, Schumer, Obama, for leaders of the people because they support sin and reject prayer, and God's Word.

People here at FR have always supported the Founders and quote from them. What about Americans should always prefer Christians for their leaders, yet they are constantly saying now, "I'm not voting for pastor but for POTUS." Well, maybe you should be voting for pastor of America if you want some of this crap fixed. Quit voting for the people that put us in this predicament in the first place. God will not and cannot bless a nation that kicked Him to the curb. Maybe school shootings would disappear if we had prayer in school and Bible study again. Maybe our debt would disappear electing people with common sense and respect for God. Maybe we could win a war if we stopped murdering our children and having sex with everything that walks. We haven't won a war since "sex drugs, and rock and roll, became the mantra of the US.

Trump is a Democrat and all that goes with that. They even voted to remove God from their platform. Every piece of trash in America is a Democrat, dope heads, prostitutes, atheists, Clinton, Harry Reed, ect, and Trumps supports them all. He was for the Brady Bill,... does that make him a life long NRA member? He's lying! He's a lair and the truth is not in him.

If or when Trump is elected, I will be here reminding the fools here on FR how they got "Had", by a liar from the pit of hell called NYC. Now he will swing to the left, back where he came from and you all will be making excuses that he has to say stuff like that to get elected. He will start to tout all the statement he made in the past and start to flash canceled checks to Dems to show he's not as bad as BLM makes him out to be. The Truth lies in what He has DONE in the past, not what he says. I wonder what people here on FR are going to say when he nominates a NYC lawyer he's friends with nominated by Cuomo for SCOTUS? He's even mention Ichan for some position in his cabinet. Ichan is a Dem and just mentioned Republicans were stupid and know nothing about the economy. He could be Treasury Sec or some other key position in a Trump administration.

Some years ago I had a then popular ‘Christian’ financial advisor and I allocated several thousand into a ‘startup fund/venture’ that was to promote his growing book and tapes sales and we would profit from the growth. It was a bad decision upfront and not due to the fund losing asset value but that supposedly his brother stole all the money in that fund. We investors never got a cent back from that theft. Some ‘Christian’ advisor— James L. Paris-— stay away.

Word is, God likes Trump.

I received the following email from a friend who told me four months ago in regard to Trump's candidacy.. "God works in mysterious ways" 

Trump just may be "God sent."

Haven't you noticed that no weapon formed against Donald Trump has prospered? Why would that be?

Isaiah 54:17

"No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD.

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 717). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
