My 87-year-old black dad has been a Christian pastor for over 50 years. I phoned, “Dad, what do I say to Christians who support Trump rather than Ted Cruz?” Dad replied, “Trump says he is a Christian.”
Matthews 7:16 — “Ye shall know them by their fruits.”
Ted Cruz is the only candidate who grasps the intensity of the Democrats', mainstream media’s and homosexual activists' assault on religious liberty. Cruz has a peerless record of furiously fighting against it. When the Supreme Court, in essence, made it against the law to follow God’s Word, which disapproves of homosexuals changing God’s definition of marriage, gay activist George Takei said this is only the beginning. Because black Justice Clarence Thomas ruled against twisting the Constitution to please homosexuals, Takei called Thomas “a clown in blackface who should not be on the Supreme Court.”
Folks, imagine the mainstream media firestorm had a Republican called a black Supreme Court Justice a clown in blackface. Takei is allowed to make such a racist comment because his anti-Christian agenda is the same as today’s Democratic Party and mainstream media.
Christian clerk Kim Davis was thrown into jail for not issuing marriage licenses to homosexual couples. Ted Cruz led the charge. “I stand with Kim Davis!” Cruz said. “I call upon every believer, every Constitutionalist, every lover of liberty to stand with Kim Davis.”
Trump sided against Kim Davis. Trump said, “You have to go with it. The decision has been made, and that is the law of the land.”
My fellow Christians, make no mistake about it. The Left is coming after us, determined to make us embrace all forms of anti-biblical behaviors. Noncompliance will result in ending your ability to earn a living and even jail time.
Christian “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson said, “If you’re homosexual, He’ll take it away. If you’re an adulterer, if you’re a liar, what’s the difference? If you break one sin, you may as well break them all.” Phil continued, “Why don’t we just love each other enough that we wouldn’t want to do these things to each other?” Robertson was stunned by the mainstream media firestorm. Robertson was suspended from his hit TV show, intensely hated and accused of spreading hate. Naive 67-year-old Robertson said, “All I did was quote from scriptures.” Sorry Phil, quoting from the Bible is no longer permitted in today’s America. Public outcry got Phil back on his TV show.
Phil Robertson endorsed Ted Cruz and spoke at a Cruz rally. Robertson rocked the house, receiving long enthusiastic applause when he said Americans should spend more time being biblically correct rather than politically correct.
Remember the attack on a bakery owned by a young Christian couple with five kids? A lesbian who the bakery had served for years asked for a cake for her wedding to a woman. The bakers said doing so would betray their faith. The bakers, Aaron and Melissa Klein, were state-ordered to pay the lesbian couple $135,000 in damages. The Kleins were also ordered not to speak publicly about their case, repealing their First Amendment rights.
Now get this, folks: Christians around the country sent funds to a website to pay the Klein’s fine. Homosexual activists successfully closed down the website. Another website picked up the baton to save the Klein family’s livelihood. Clearly, the fine was not about paying the lesbian couple. It was about punishing the Kleins, sending a message to Christians and Christian business owners across America. Buck us and we will destroy you.
Aaron Klein posted, “We stand for God’s truth, God’s Word and freedom for ALL Americans… We are here to obey God, not man, and we will not conform to this world. If we were to lose everything, it would be totally worth it for our Lord who gave His one and only son, Jesus, for us! God will win this fight!”
If we know nothing else about Ted Cruz, we know he has proven himself to be a man of great faith and a man of his word. Ted Cruz vows that on his first day as president he will direct the DOJ and IRS to put an end to the persecution of religious liberty.
Cruz also vows to drop the Obama administration’s lawsuit against Little Sisters of the Poor, who have been ministering to the elderly and dying for over 100 years. The nuns said their faith prevents them from funding contraception as mandated in Obamacare. The Obama administration says screw your faith, comply or be disbanded.
Cruz’s first day in the White House includes a promise to instruct the DOJ to investigate the videos exposing the reprehensible evil behind the walls of Planned Parenthood. The vile government-funded baby killers have been proven to be nothing more than an abortion factory and dead-baby-body-parts chop shop. Cruz wants the DOJ to prosecute PP for any criminal violations.
Fellow Christians, I pray that you let the spirit of the Lord lead you in your decision regarding our nation’s leadership.

That’s true. The difference is Obama supporters are mostly society’s parasites while Trump’s are the ones footing the bill.
Maybe you’re right but voting for the GOPe gives us the same and has up till now.
I just don't get it...anymore. Freeper's jumping and gulping the bait...and staying hooked.
I've made a decision.....I'm helping my family and close friends, only. I will not vote just to vote...anymore. I'm done.
I'm not doing Hope and Change...2.0
He cannot do what he is promising...PERIOD. Anyone here who thinks that...has lost their minds. Drank the koolaid...Took the bait.
I thought people here were above the political aware average...but it's not even close to true.

Here's what happened at the same apartment a couple months before this particular Cruz visit (apparently the gay billionaires are regular contributors and bundling gay NYC money for Cruz)---a gay boy that the gay couple picked up DIED in the BATHROOM of the apartment Cruz raises funds in! The boy died having SEX IN THE BATHROOM of the APARTMENT.

And Ted is "THE FACE OF GOD"? You need to do a LOT of research, get an informed opinion, THEN you can opine and will be listened to. All the info is on the Internet. It's not secret. I have no respect for uninformed people who state their uninformed opinion without even bothering to inform themselves. It's not like informing yourself is difficult in the Internet/Google age.
See my post 44.
Or cringeworthy.
I saw a study that dug down a little deeper, and the “evangelicals” that vote for Trump are mostly of the Easter and Christmas only variety. He does very poorly with evangelicals that attend church more than twice per year.
But the former is America nowadays.
Cruz made several mistakes in his campaign, mainly in the choice of hired help, and that casts doubt on his judgment, of course. But his larger mistake was his optimism. He was apparently under the mistaken impression that America was still a majority Christian nation. I see no evidence of that. Far, far from it.
I’ve chosen to take Trump at his word and you haven’t. That’s all.
It’s what he’s running on now that matters to me. He’s been consistent since he began his run. I agree with him on most things at this time.
I've not done that..have you?
$20k to Charlie Rangel
Nearly $10k to Chucky Schumer
$9.4k to Harry Reid.
$5.5k to J. "I served in Vietnam" Kerry....
He also gave money...which is more enlightening to me..actually..to Pubbies...McCain??, Specter??, Mark Foley???, Frank LoBiondo????, Sue Kelly??? payoffs...?? on the last two or three???
Money to Charlie Crist???? Are you kidding me???
PAC's that previously supported Obama, Kerry, and Dean....seem interested in supporting Trump???
What the heck, FReepers??
Is this just a bait and switch...or just bait...and hooked?
Anyone here...anymore that does any critical thinking? You know...take in the info and digest it. Watch what is happening...make up your mind based on facts...not emotion.
Or grab the bait...and hook up to Hope and Change 2.0
For me with have to judge them on integrity and policy.
Cruz has ties to the most manipulative and biggest benefactor of government largess for the last 100 years, Goldman Sachs. But Trump also stood behind the decisions to bail out the banks. Rubio is simply the placeholder of the Chamber of Commerce, looking for cheap labor.
I will “get over” the bankruptcies when I quit hearing Trump is best qualified due to business acumen.
Why the personal shot?
Why is it courage to ignore Trump's past actions and associations and blindly accept his campaign promises? I have the courage to question why his last reality does not reconcile with his future promises.

To follow Trump at this point appears to be more an act of faith than one of courage...
I knew we were doomed when, during the 2012 election, on voting night, one of the talking heads said that if we had had the same demographic back in the day, Dukakis would have won.
I said back in 2000, after Bush won, that all we did was put off the inevitable for another 4 years. That attitude is one of the seeds of why I bought my KY farm in 2008, two weeks before the election - and I thought McCain was going to win. And I moved there, from my home of 45 years, Seattle, in 2011.
I don’t do a lot of smart things. The smartest was marrying my wife. But the second smartest was predicting our path to the world of Dr Zivago. This is why I compare this election to electing a new captain of the Titanic.
I don’t ding Cruz for misjudging the American people. Rather, I stand by what I said after the 2008 election: “Obama is not the problem. The electorate is the problem. And they don’t have term limits.”
There is no human solution to our situation. It will run its course, as any student of history can see. And we are in it for the full ride to the bottom. And it increases momentum exponentially, as I can already see all around us.
The only solution for the individual is to call on God. We are not of this world. We are in occupied territory. My future does not lie on this rock. It lies in eternity.
Sorry, I did not mean to get personal.
And you are right, it is more faith than courage.
