If Evangelical Voters Take Their Religion Seriously, Ted Cruz Will Be The Republican Nominee
PJ Media ^ | Michael van der Galien

Posted on 01/25/2016 3:04:15 PM PST by Michael van der Galien

Gary Bauer, one of America's leading pro-life and pro-family activists, endorsed Ted Cruz on Friday. In doing so, Bauer became one of many evangelical Christian leaders who have thrown their support behind the senator from Texas. Bauer explained:

"Ted Cruz is a courageous conservative who has built a consistent record on the issues that matter most. He has fought for religious liberty at home and abroad. He believes all of our children should be welcomed into the world and protected by the law. Ted knows that government is too big and that taxes and regulations are too high. He will rebuild our military strength and pursue a foreign policy that repairs our frayed alliances. Ted Cruz understands that Israel is our friend and that Iran is our enemy. He understands that border security is national security. Last, but certainly not least, Ted Cruz is committed to restoring the rule of law and repealing President Obama's outrageous executive orders."

There's a reason why Bauer, James Dobson, Bob Vander Plaats, and a host of other largely Protestant conservative leaders have endorsed Cruz: he's the Biblical choice for president. Cruz's father, Rafael Cruz, explained two years ago what that phrase -- the Biblical choice -- means:

The Bible, Cruz went on to explain, tells you exactly how to vet a politician. He turned to Exodus 18:21 and made his case. Moses is in the wilderness trying to govern the Israelites, where his father-in-law gives him leadership advice: “Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, ruler of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.”

Donald Trump, the Lion of the candidates, the LEADER of the pride.

Still just posting silly pictures, I see. Obviously, pet, you are incapable of posting anything but insults, snarky personal tripe, and puerile pictures. Pity that...

No, most don't see that. As proof, idiots like you who insult other Freepers aren't able to explain what the "spin" even is, because you're just making stuff up like the dumb dumbs you are.

No!

It's a simple question, just answer it.

Or are YOU afraid to post your answer?

Yes, you ARE afraid and ashamed of what it is.

Pounding like a dead horse, trying to get a poison pill on the Gang of 8 look like Ted Cruz supported Amnesty, that’s why.

“If Cruz makes it, it will be the most destructive thing that could happen to America. He will lose to Hillary.”

Thank you! On this site there are two distinct “camps”. The pro-Trump people say they would vote for Cruz. The pro-Cruz people pretty much rule out Trump under any circumstances, and their posts are actually vile and definitely not the demeanor Christians should display. There is no LOGICAL reason for the extreme vitriol displayed by the pro-Cruz camp. Why? Where is that coming from?

God isn’t the only One who has power to influence people’s minds. If Hillary or Bernie were to become the most powerful person in the world, and one of them WILL if Cruz is our candidate, who would that ultimately glorify? Not God.
