Senator Ted Cruz has often stated that Jesus Christ is central to his life. He talks about how his father had left his family but returned after receiving the gospel, how his mother turned to Christ, and how this changed his life:
I was raised in the church. When I was eight years old [I] gave [my life] to Jesus. [To] know that I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, nothing is more important to me. I am a new creature in Christ, and it [is] central to who I am today.
I couldnt run for president without relying heavily on my faith . From the day we launched the campaign, Heidi and I have prayed simply that his will would be done. Each day, we try not to seek his hand (asking for help winning the race), but rather to seek his face (praying that his love and glory would be seen every day in the campaign).
Cruzs unashamed affirmation of Christ resonates deeply with many Christians. But it has also created concern among many Christians and non-Christians alike. In this article, wed like to clarify what we believe are misrepresentations of Cruzs faith and its relationship to his politics....

‘cRuz advisor/mentor/oath giver Beck’
Boy have you ever got that right! Makes me wonder if any of these Cruz supporters accusing other people of not being Christian for not supporting him have been listening to Beck? I doubt it. If they have, they would know that there is something seriously wrong with the picture, unless they are just plain stupid.
Cruz has worn Christianity on his sleeve...as a show for those whom he wants to con. I do believe he believes, as his father and Glen Beck that he is the anointed one (by God) to bring us into the Tribulation. He is deranged.
The article supports Cruz and its last statements copied above, nicely summarizes their position.
I changed to Trump some time ago but find it amusing how the "holier than thou" types are so quick to flaunt other Christian's faults as if they had none themselves, yet still call themselves Christians...funny you cite Paul w/o realizing he had met the risen Christ face to face, became one of the biggest proponents for Christianity and also bewailed that "he did that which he would not do, and did not do that which he would do". Nothing more faux Christian than a Christian who thinks Christians are sinless in nature.
“Prove your accusations, hey? Otherwise, dont waste the bandwidth.”
FreeRepublic is awash with the evidence of the lying, cheating, and stealing by Ted Cruz, so repeating all over again just for your benefit is simply redundant for someone who is evidently going to waste everyone’s time with baseless denials. Just for the fun of it, you can start with how Ted Cruz obviously lied when he claimed he did not know he was a Canadian citizen until he renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014.
Exactly right. I'd add that I have a very tough time giving someone who reminds me of a slick, televangelist any credibility whatsoever.
I swear, every time I see Ted Cruz on my computer monitor I expect him to ask me to lay hands on my monitor and send him money.
Pushing his wife’s Council of Foreign Relations North American Union’s agenda at every opportunity is not conservative. A Globalist is not a conservative. Cruz is a consistent globalist.
We already are and were paying for the lower percent medical but doing so in the most costly way possible. Our ERs were used with massive cost overruns for doing it and we paid much more for our medical because health care had to charge a ton to cover for the poor who could not pay.
Pretending we can shut off the cost of the poor for medical is ignorance. What will happen is massive costs and inefficient ad-hoc health care costing us much more then something like a safety net with cost controls at that level of society.
I hate Socialism. But to reverse this train we have to use our heads. If Obamacare was repealed absolutely as you implied to attack Trump. Then we would be back to the extremely costly ER room as doctors office for the very poor. A better way is to control costs at that level and create incentives to get off the poor wagon.
If you have a better PRACTICAL solution please feel free to post it. What Trump has proposed is the most effective and common sense method of dealing with a problem we have using the tools we have.
A question a Ryan Nominator should be asking is how did Cruz plan to pay for the medical care of the 500 percent H1B visa increase and doubling of Syrian Muslims he tried to poison us with?
My solid proof was simple ...
I noticed that when campaigning in Iowa, and in the debate before Iowa, he gave a public testimony of his conversion and his stump speeches included references to the body of Christ coming together to vote for him.
I said to myself "Cool, a believer willing to come out publically with his faith and he seems to have mostly conservative positions" ...
Then New Hampshire came around ... and the rhetoric did not include any reference to Christ. I thought that strange indeed ... at that point I said to myself "let's see if he goes back to it in South Carolina" ...
Sure enough he did ... and that is when the red flag went up for me ...
I mentioned that to my pastor ... and he said his only hesitation in voting for Cruz was the lack of tithing ...
That was it for me ... he may indeed be a brother in Christ ... but upon casual inspection of the fruit ... I would say his political career takes front and center in his life, which gives me tremendous pause.
Trump? I have no illusions whether he is a Christian ... he is not.
That tithing video sets a new record for Lyin Ted’s stuttering. Count ‘em: 20 times in a minute. I think it was 8 sentences but I had to listen several times to catch all 20 and can’t bear to listen anymore to make sure about the 8.
It’s beyond my comprehension to understand how anyone can listen to and watch that without seeing the “Liar!” written across his forehead.
It doesn’t matter what Trump supporters think. Elections are won in the middle, by appealing to that sliver of the electorate that won’t automatically pull the lever for either R or D. We may not like it, but moderate undecideds determine who becomes president in this country.
The MSM WILL use this as a weapon against Cruz and they WILL succeed in painting him as a religious extremist. How many interviews will it take with Glen Beck, the guy who is an official surrogate and has campaigned repeatedly for Cruz, before the independent moderates decide, “No way!”
There’s a reason that Rush said the new joke in DC is “lose with Cruz.” The DC insiders know that the media has the ammunition to eviscerate him.
Regardless of religious beliefs we do know Edward wasn’t born on US soil. Even the
first nine Presidents were born on soil that became the USA after the formation of this
country. That is more than the Canadain born candidate can say.
Though the Declaration of Independence was dated July 4, 1776, it took 13 years to win and
confirm this independence on the battle fields. A recognizable new nation called the
United States of America, with its own constitution and government was established only in
1783 through the treatry of Paris signed by King George the Third and the representatives of
the United States of America.
Prior to this date, anyone born in North America, presently known as USA, was actually born
in a British Colony, controlled by England and was a citizen of England and pledged
allegiance to the British Crown. Thus nine of the forty-three Presidents, who had served
as president, were foreign born. These nine foreign born US presidents are listed hereunder:
1. George Washington (1789-1797) was born in 1732, in the British Colony of Virginia, and
was a British subject, until the formation of the Government of the United States of America
in 1789, when he became its first president.
2. John Adams (1797-1801) was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1735.
3. Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) was born in 1743 in the colony of Virginia.
4. James Madison (1809-1817) was born in 1751 in the colony of Virginia.
5. James Monroe (1817-1825) was born in the colony of Virginia, in 1758.
6. John Quincy Adams (1825-1829) was born in 1767 in the colony of Massachusetts.
7. Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) was born in 1767 in the colony of the Carolinas.
8. Martin Van Buren (1837-1841) was born in 1782 in the colony of New York.
9. William Henry Harrison (1841) was born in 1773 in the colony of of Virginia. He died in
office from pneumonia.
The tenth US president, John Tyler (1841-1845) was the First US born president. He was
born in March 29, 1790, in the State of Virginia in USA.

You are evil.
.......................
Quite judgmental aren’t we?
Wouldn’t a Christian seek to change my opinion by dealing with the FACTS presented in my post?
I wrote nothing but facts. And that makes me evil according to you. I suspect that you didn’t even watch the videos because you don’t want to have to realize who you are supporting.
Again I repeat, I’m sorry as I said last night out of anger. That was bad Linda speaking.
From last night.
Look, Im sorry I lost it. I was so angry over lies about Cruz even being a true Christian. God will sort it all out. I am not to judge a persons heart. Sorry I called someone evil, that link you posted was evil, not you. Goodnight
Why did Jesus tell us that we shall know the enemy by their fruits? What are the fruits He was speaking of?
cruz lies like those preachers on the teevee.
What a scumbag he is.
He are videos and transcripts of Trump saying he wants universal healthcare on 9-27-2015. Less than a year ago. If you want more there’s pages of it on google. Ted was not lying.
