Look, most of America is religious in one sense or another...Mainly in a general sense in that they do want to do good, but being the sinners we are, we fail to live up that that ideal. Okay I get that. I also get the religious temperament at times like when FDR gave his D-Day prayer over the radio the night of June 6th. Listen to it sometime, its amazing. NBC all during the day had on religious leaders of all faiths deliver a D-Day prayer. But it was all in a, how can I put it, a general religious sense. Asking for protection of our boys, etc...I get that type of faith in the public square...I can even understand that asking for the Lord’s help in winning an election to get the country on the straight and narrow again (like it ever was). I get all of that...

I am not being flip here, but I don’t get the whole “...putting on the Armor of Christ...” and being anointed to take over society thing. As I don;t want to be ruled by a bunch of communists, I also don’t want to be ruled by a gaggle of High Priests taking what little wealth I have into their coffers because in their eyes, I am not worthy.

I get Huckabee and his Ol’ TImey religion. I get that. I don’t get this being anointed to serve as King/s. Maybe I have too much Jefferson thinking or something, I dunno. Flame away.

All TED CRUZ’S father is talking about is who we are in Christ. When we accept JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR, we inherit all of His benefits.

Here is a link with Scriptures that tell us who we are in CHRIST. Everyone who believes are entitled to His benefits and promises.
