Pastor G. Craig Lewis of EX-Ministries, which describes itself as an organization designed to expose false doctrines and other deceptive attacks against biblical Christianity, takes on the Cruz cult. It’s the same one that Rafael Cruz, Ted’s Pastor Dad preachers and is a celebrity in, The Seven Mountain Strategy.

Pastor Lewis lays out an excellent encapsulation of just who these people are, highlighting their belief that “the only way they can impact society for GOD is by penetrating the 7 cultural spheres (or mountains) of society.”

The 7 Mountains are Arts & Entertainment, Business, Education, Family, Government, Media and Religion.

He cites the earliest known appearance of the cult occurred in 1975 with an American preacher named Bill Bright, who created Campus Crusade. That organization is billed as an interdenominational advocacy for worldwide evangelism.

Lewis details that, as the legend goes, “Bill Bright and Loren Cunningham (another prominent Christian) were sitting down having lunch together when God simultaneously gave them both a message to give to one another — and that message essentially said that in order to impact any nation for Jesus Christ — they must impact the seven spheres (or mountains) of any society. It was this that lead to the creation of the “7 Mountain Strategy” ideology that we commonly see spreading in the Christian arena today.”

Lewis describes The 7 Mountains Strategy as the New World Order repackaged for Christian for Christian consumption, describing the ideology as both un-biblical and very deceptive.

This ideology teaches Christians that in order to influence any civilization for Christ, they must first infiltrate the different sectors of humanity and “take them over”.

Lewis notes that “Clearly the early apostles did not know about this doctrine considering the fact that they spent the majority of their time – Being Poor, Being Beaten, Being thrown in Jail, and Being Stoned.” He asks, “Does this sound like the apostles were “Dominating” any sectors of society?”

He goes on to point out the many ways that this heresy is not Christianity and in doing so, the reasons why Cruz supporters should be very concerned that they have a demon in their midst that they are holding up as a holy man.

This is the stuff that the Democrats would’ve played nonstop against a Cruz candidacy.

Bkmrk.

People seem to have forgotten the revolving door from private to public sector that was Goldman-Sachs. And Cruz is married to one.

My father was a pastor who didn’t believe in “wearing your Christianity on your sleeve.” Also warned me to be VERY careful of those who do.

Since Cruz wears his on both sleeves and makes such a point to make sure everyone knows how he “prays so much”, and his “awesome values”, blah blah I’ve become interested in what his religious beliefs truly are....and they are very, scary indeed.

This ought to be an interesting thread.

Something in Scripture about that idea. Deeds. Prayers in your room. Something like that?

I don’t know of any Cruz supporter who is holding him up to be a “Holy man” as you claim. Could you please name one?

Although Trump said that he never asked God for forgiveness for anything, so how does that qualify him as a Christian in your opinion? Perhaps because he might go to a Church occasionally?

They would be playing all of this 24x7 and also playing the video of the pastor professing that gays should be executed and that God commands it in the bible - shortly before introducing Cruz as the next speaker at a conference.

Also, you never hear an other candidate referred to as ‘CREEPY’ but with Cruz I read or hear that remark daily. The dude needs to go away, he’s just a spoiler now. A tool being used by the GOPe.

“The 7 Mountains are Arts & Entertainment, Business, Education, Family, Government, Media and Religion.”

Seems to me that not too long ago I recall a man named Glenn Beck engaging in a very similar strategy.

1. Glenn Beck

2. Heidi Cruz

3. Rafael Cruz

4. Kenneth Copeland

Glenn Beck.

You forget about Stabby? He’s on his final fast for the anointed one.

Sound familiar?

This is the stuff that the Democrats would’ve played nonstop against a Cruz candidacy.

Yep. And, even if Ted himself isn't actually a believer in 7 Mountain Dominionism, there are many people around him, including his father, who are. These are views that are at least as lunatic as those of Obama's Rev. Wright, and will turn the American people - even most evangelicals - off faster than you can say "rapture".

“Something in Scripture about that idea. Deeds. Prayers in your room. Something like that?”

>>> YUP!!!

“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” Matt. 6

Well, Ted Cruz himself for one....

Wow, If you’ve studied Christianity’s birth then you know it impacted culture and gave it new life. Just not this buying this critique. Yes, I voted Trump.
