I said the mentality on this thread resembles the mentality of those who mocked Jesus. Crass, hateful mob thinking, without any regard for what is serious and what is not.

I have no idea whether Cruz did what he is accused of doing. All I can do is wait for more evidence. If he did these things I will be very grieved but I won’t have any rocks to throw, because - unlike Trump who has never needed forgiveness from God for anything in his life - I am a sinner whose only hope is Jesus, and very few genuine Christians have lived the perfect life necessary to be able to cast the first stone. The older and wiser of the Pharisees were the first to drop their stones because they knew the shame they would face if their life became an open book.

But the folks on this thread are already sure they know the whole story - and are eager to think that he’s gay, engages in bestiality, etc. Read Romans 1:28-32 and tell me how this crew here - in the attitudes of their hearts - any different than the Romans that Paul described as being depraved. Here’s the passage:

“Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
