In this thread, one thing brought up about Cruz is his history of not tithing. It is a valid issue. One that Cruz admitted was a weakness and he needed to do better. He made no excuse about it, it was an area he said he needed to work on. He did not say, he didn't need forgiveness here, he didn't say he was above having to ask forgiveness, he admitted his shortcoming. The buck stopped with him. No deflection, just taking it like a imperfect man.
And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has taken away your sin; you shall not die. "However, because by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme -2 Samuel 12
Now what did Cruz's lack of tithing do? It gave people who are enemies of the Lord great occasion to blaspheme... we see it right here on this thread. We see it daily on threads where people post stuff like "holy roller" and "hypocrite".
Well if anything he bowed to the “Christian world.”
He could have been sharper and said that he gives freewill and the amount is between himself and Jesus.
And that would have stopped it, or should have. He is in the worst of both worlds.
