Stop Calling Ted Cruz a Dominionist
Christianity Today ^ | April 6, 2016 | Robert Gagnon and Edith Humphrey

Posted on 04/07/2016 8:19:59 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Senator Ted Cruz has often stated that Jesus Christ is central to his life. He talks about how his father had left his family but returned after receiving the gospel, how his mother turned to Christ, and how this changed his life:

I was raised in the church.… When I was eight years old… [I] gave [my life] to Jesus. … [To] know that… I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, nothing is more important to me. I am a new creature in Christ, and it [is] central to who I am today.

I couldn’t run for president without relying heavily on my faith…. From the day we launched the campaign, Heidi and I have prayed simply that his will would be done. Each day, we try not to seek his hand (asking for help winning the race), but rather to seek his face (praying that his love and glory would be seen every day in the campaign).

Cruz’s unashamed affirmation of Christ resonates deeply with many Christians. But it has also created concern among many Christians and non-Christians alike. In this article, we’d like to clarify what we believe are misrepresentations of Cruz’s faith and its relationship to his politics....

... waste of ink as a true disciple of Christ would not even think to lie so they could usurp the law for political and financial gain. These are the traits of the Dominionists!!! Paul called them hucksters who peddle to the Word of Christ for filthy gain.

His father explains his Dominionism quite well here:

” am a new creature in Christ, and it [is] central to who I am today.”

Yeah, let’s give the guy a break. He just likes a little ‘strange’ every now and then.

There’s even a verse he can call on: “The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.”

Because that is what biblical hucksters do, they lie, cheat, steal, and hire political hit men. Jesus said it best, and I am going to paraphrase here...

“many are going to come and I am going to say I never knew you” ... and he also said “you shall know them by their fruits” ... and so now I will quote what Peter said about the true believers in Christ,

1Pe 2:21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit (lies) found in his mouth.

I understand.
Since I have registered here I have been amazed and disheartened with the ungodly (and frequently vulgar) comments. I come here less and less now.

The Bible Belt saw through this reptilian charlatan. Cruz oozes fakery. Total creep.

This article highlights what is so scary about Ted Cruz. He seems to both in the past and present have no problem whatsoever lying about ‘giving his heart to Jesus’. How many true Christians that you know (serious question) could make the following videos with a straight face AND NOT GIVE ONE PENNY out of $5 million dollars of recent reported income to his church?

Ted the Christian wants to be in ‘teen tit’ films (gave his life to Christ at 8. Are you kidding me?)

Has a family ever looked so uncomfortable saying grace? ONLY A COMPLETE, BILL CLINTONESQUE FRAUD COULD MAKE THIS VIDEO- COULD YOU?

Ted Cruz has admitted he doesn't even tithe. Which shocked me when I first read that because how he portrays himself as such a good Christian.

Any successful Christian understands the importance of tithing. He is exactly as you wrote.

“Ok. Will start calling him a Dominatrix.”

ROFLMAO...it evokes the image of a Wicked Witch of the North in full Dominatriz regalia accompanied by Palfrey’s call girls swooping down on the little girl with the Ruby red slippers next to the campaign bus.
