Christian Conservative speaks out against Ted Cruz

I find Ted Cruz dishonest and manipulative in this race. His Christian roots untraceable and his rhetoric unstable. Donald Trump may not always meet the mark as politically correct conservative but he owns his beliefs unlike Cruz that speaks what he doesn't seem to live. His wife drinks, they do not tithe, he has questionable relationships with young women he works with, he claims to all of us in Texas to be committed to representing Texas and fighting for our voice in Washington just to decide he was not called to be a senator but President in the middle of the job and leaves his post to run for another office leaving us voiceless and the job he committed to do unmanned.

God has historically used men and women that the people would not have necessarily have chosen to represent him. We have spent the last 18 months or so in prayer around the country in prayer groups praying for Gods man, Mr. Trump is that man, get on or get out of the way but God will have a man and we will be restored with or without your approval. Ted Cruz has a job he needs to get back to it and allow those that have been called to areas he is not get to theirs and stop all this strife in the body.

LOL...kind of sad isn’t it.

Not to mention Trump said he has never done anything to be forgiven for. Hmmm....that’s kind of the basis of Christianity.

He is everything to all people.....P.T. Barnum comes to mind...

Actually he is very Biblical.

“I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. Ezekiel 22:30.

“no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.” Isiah 54:17

God has a habit of calling and using the unlikely: Noah was a drunk, Abraham was too old, Jacob was a liar, Leah was ugly, Joseph was abused, Moses had a stuttering problem, Gideon was afraid, Samson was a womanizer, Rahab was a prostitute, David was an adulterer and a murderer, Elijah was suicidal, Jonah ran from God, Naomi was a widow, Job went bankrupt, Peter denied, the Disciples fled, Martha worried, the Samaritan woman was divorced, Zacchesus was too small and Lazarus was dead!

he makes exceptions for cases of rape which I really find reprehensible.

Many moral and charitable individuals find this position morally reprehensible. Who the hell are you and your kind to condemn a woman to a life of penury because some male violated her, destroyed her life and probably that of her husband and family as well. When did God leave a will naming you as judge of others? The position is the height of arrogance and convinces many that social conservatives are nothing but immoral bigots themselves.

<< “ His Christian roots are untraceable....” >>

Absolutely untraceable.

I could have written this article myself. Word for word.

We have a snake on our hands and he’s no longer in the grass, but circulating through state conventions eating delegates and replacing them with more snakes.

I know that is harsh, but if Cruz wants to play this game and cause chaos at the convention, he can be guaranteed trouble coming if he wants it. He needs to get out and be gracious about it. Some humility is in order, also.

Otherwise, it’s a lasting tarnish on his character.

Trump will have to persuade the RNC to put down their swords, and they are going to have to diminish these Cruz delegates who replaced Trump loyalists. The Credentials Committee can make or break Raphael Ted Cruz.

Seems Cruz senses what’s coming. His whole campaign is now based on bashing TRUMP. Cruz is left with nothing of his own to sell anymore that is selling. Zip, zero, nada. lol.

Great post and very interesting. Thank you for posting.

A Christian illiterate attacks Cruz. It just doesn’t help one’s cause very much when it is represented by someone who can’t construct a sentence or punctuate.

I too think it is perfectly acceptable, of course you probably think this person is not Christian enough and therefore should be silenced.

A vote for Ted Cruz is a vote for the same as we have had for decades now, politicians beholding to the big money financiers. A vote for Trump is a vote for a real opportunity to change the course of this country.

I think you’ve hit a new low, if that were possible, posting this crap.


Not nearly as low as Ted Cruz pretentiously posing as a pious Christian while trolling votes. Come to find out his family made millions from the likes of sleazy Goldman Sachs and gave basically nothing to charity. If that isn’t “crap” nothing is.

In a nation of 330 million, you (maybe) found one person who doesn’t like Cruz.

Really?

There is no doubt that a clear majority of Americans do not like Cruz, then who do like Cruz. That number continues growing by the day I fact.

I know he claims to be against abortion but he makes exceptions for cases of rape which I really find reprehensible.

I, too, do not think that a baby should die just because he or she was conceived by rape. But, realistically, many people who are not otherwise for abortion are okay with aborting babies conceived by rape.

However, I do not think that this is the right battle for this time. A large number of women use abortion as their only form of birth control. There are hundreds of thousands of lives to be saved right there, by educating women and teaching them not to have unprotected sex.

Start with the winnable battle--turning our culture against the use of abortion as routine birth control--and when that battle is won, then start on the other issues, such as instilling the idea that it is not okay to kill a baby conceived by rape, or a baby who is less than perfect.

Insisting on an all-or-nothing with respect to abortion means that we get nothing, and the baby killing goes on unabated.

In any case, the president does not have much control over abortion. The president does not write law; he only has the choice to sign or veto the bills sent by Congress.

Reagan also made exceptions.

The fact is a president, any president cannot stop Roe v. Wade. He can fight it and minimize abortion-on-demand but he cannot stomp it out completely.

Only a Constitutional Amendment can do that and Congress will not be doing that anytime soon.

However, there is hope.

Doubt? What does doubt have to do with this.

In the case of violent rape, I think it is the violated woman’s choice, not yours or mine.

Really....you have proof he gave nothing to charity? Just because it’s not on a tax return doesn’t mean diddly.
