I have not seen any evidence that Trump has spoken falsely. He is just not your personal ‘type’ of Christian and you feel God has chosen you to judge Donald Trump and misapply Scripture to his words.
At the same time, you don’t seem to want to judge Cruz and his pretentious display of piety. And in the beginning of the audio, the Texas preacher clearly states that the MSM would have had a field day picking apart Cruz and his distinctively marginal sect of Christianity.
Cruz ran an ego-driven campaign. Ted honestly believes his father’s rhetoric that he’s been chosen by God to be president. I have no doubt that he’s very angry and doesn’t understand why he hasn’t won the nomination that was destined to be his. He continues to justify it in his mind by publicly demonizing those who didn’t support him.
He’s speaking to his remaining supporters saying they are part of the “remnant” that will save America. A clear Biblical reference that has no basis in solid Scriptural exegesis, but fits the twisted truth that he and his father preach in 7th Mountain Dominionism.
This is the BEST, most succinct analysis I have read regarding Cruz. EXCELLENT.
I’m saving your post, and thank you for writing it.
