Tell me about it... “Who knows the mind of God, that he should be His counselor?”

We are blessed to have significant biblical revelation of the Lord’s general inclination and intent, such as “God is love.” So we can count on certain attitudes towards the Lord having certain ranges of outcomes.

But the proposition of knowing good and evil (on one’s own) is not only wrong, it is LUDICROUSLY wrong.

If Cruz will have an Achilles’ heel (apologies for the pagan connotation) it would be here. An attempt to do godly-styled things in the proud flesh and seeing it backfire, because the Lord is really stubborn about wanting people to let His love drive what they do in His name.

Trump, with his general bent to be kindly towards Christians but not claiming any special spiritual revelation, might actually end up being a channel of more blessings.

In a pig’s eye!

You sound just like the catholics praising Constantine for creating a “Christian” pagan holiday.

We seem to be on the same wavelength here.

I know it sounds ridiculous to some degree but Trump actually seems more humble than Cruz. Trump doesn’t pretend to be pious and he knows he makes mistakes. He just doesn’t dwell on them like Rush doesn’t either.

But he doesn’t pretend to know the full mind of God.
