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....

Sorry, it’s not “Anti-Christian” but anti “fake Christians”. Cruz just doesn’t ring true.
Yes, I am all for spotting those fake Christians. Like ones that wave Bibles at rallies yet when questioned on anything in between the covers doesn't know jack about it. Even make up fake Bible verses as their favorite.
You know, like Trump does.

BTW... what does "Don't bend to envy" even mean?
I’m certain that anyone who knows you would make a similar observation. God Bless....
