Cruz's dad warns against 'wicked electing the wicked'
WND ^ | 1/27/2016 | Paul Bremmer

Posted on 01/28/2016 7:13:42 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Rafael Cruz, a Christian minister, speaker and the father of GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is calling Christians and their leaders to get involved politically or face the fact that it will be the "wicked electing the wicked."

Cruz's father, whose new book, "A Time for Action: Empowering the Faithful to Reclaim America," addresses the issue, was interviewed by Glenn Beck on a recent radio program.

He pointed to GOP front-runner Donald Trump's presentation of himself as an evangelical Christian.

"If Christians just do what they're supposed to do biblically, the whole game changes," Rafael Cruz told Beck.

He explained: "Too many pastors have been divorced from the political process. And they have just tried to be politically correct instead of biblically correct."

He noted the apostle Paul wrote of teaching the "whole counsel of God."

And then there was a George Barna survey that found 90 percent of pastors believe the Bible addresses "every issue" facing America. But only 10 percent said they preach on those biblical solutions.

Proverbs declares, "When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice," but when the wicked are in power, there is "mourning," he said.

Cruz said that when people follow the Judeo-Christian principles of America's founding, "we have harmony, we have peace, we have prosperity."

But trampling them produces "discord," he said.

Then we have the "wicked electing the wicked."

"It becomes our fault," he said.

Beck mentioned an excuse he hears: people of high moral principle become fed up with politicians lying to them. They come to believe all politicians are liars and thus they stop voting. But that is the wrong course of action to take, according to Cruz.

So anyone who doesn’t vote for Cruz is wicked? I thought that was where this all was heading.

I understand Pentecostal language. But to ordinary people, when someone (Rafael) says that Ted is a “king” who is “ordained to reign over America,” well, that sounds spooky. And the most common image the average person has is King George III.

A vote for Ted Cruz is a vote for God! Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

P.S. If you’re a Manhattan gay or banker I didn’t mean that, thanks for the check to Ted

If these were never part of your daily reading plan, you should stick to stupid "reality" TV.

He should probably stay out of this, especially in association with Beck.

Anyone who doesn’t vote for Ted is wicked. LOL

Well, I guess that some around here agree with that. If only they didn’t act so wicked themselves.

The wicked voting for the wicked got us BJ Clinton and Barry Soetoro. The wicked voting for the wicked came within 200 votes of getting us “President Al Gore”. The wicked voting for the wicked got us Mitt Romney as a Republican nominee. The wicked voting for the wicked gave us Pelosi, Schumer, Reid, and a whole legion (for they are many) of demonic congresscritters from both parties.

"And Christ said his Kingdom is in heaven."

He also said we should be the salt and light while we're in this world.

Amazingly he has such high praise for a son he skipped out on early in his life.
