You don’t believe God has any other vocation for a person other than to call people to Christ? Of course, we call people to Christ, but does that mean we don’t collect garbage, provide nursing care, or other physical labor?

There is a call for politicians who understand Satan, and it is NEVER inappropriate to tell somebody to put on their spiritual armor. NEVER. But especially if you know that the hordes of Hell would like to get rid of them, their testimony, and their effective stand for truth, life, and justice.

I’ll be gone for a couple days. Hopefully it will give folks plenty of time to explain to me why that one area of life - “politics” - is outside the need for spiritual armor.

Would it be unseemly for me to ask you to cite any Biblical passage where Christ instructs us to use his message to advance our secular goals - versus storing up one's treasures in heaven. We spread "The Word" by testimony of our spiritual awakening, explaining salvation and then asking for a "general calling" for those who care to listen. Quite simple really.

I have a visceral reaction to anyone asking me to put on some spiritual armor for a political campaign. It raises more than a red flag.

The Apostles (specifically Paul, Ephesians 6:10-18) asked us to put on such armor in defense of our personal faith - and only in a personal defense of our faith so that we may stay in grace and pray "with all perseverance and supplication." This claim by Cruz is nothing more than a perversion of scriptural directives - and I do not use that term lightly. As I have posted, I am a member since 2006 and this Cruz campaign has gotten me motivated to post.
