And, yes, Ted Cruz is nuts and we do not need him in the White House - or the U.S. Senate either.Michael-in-Norfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330888799107186550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34239589.post-10767554914644349832016-05-03T07:32:27.149-05:002016-05-03T07:32:27.149-05:00I agree that I cringe at the thought of a Trump Pr...I agree that I cringe at the thought of a Trump Presidency, and I'm afraid he could beat Hillary, but I don't think that Cruz is "just as bad." I think he's far worse.<br /><br />Cruz was raised by his father (a fighter for Fidel Castro and the communist regime in Cuba) to believe he is ordained by God to lead one of the 7 mountains (the mountain of government) under the 7 Mountains version of Dominionism. Dominionists believe that Christian should take over society, but the particular offshoot of that, 7 Mountains is so extreme that even other Dominionists distance themselves and disavow the 7 Mountains leaders. <br /><br />I did some research on this topic, and it is pretty damned scary. The basic belief is there are 7 Mountains of society, Government, Entertainment, Education, etc. The idea is that each of the 7 Mountains is to be overtaken by a Christian leader, all of this being a precursor to the second coming, which in their belief system, is preceded by Armageddon. Here are quotes from writings of some of the leaders of this cult:<br /><br />"This includes the need to govern apolitically, as well as to embrace spiritual warfare techniques that neutralize the control of our adversary...The Mountain of Government, or politics, is a mountain that the Lord is beginning to position his children to invade and take...the individuals in power allow themselves to be puppets (i.e. servants) of the theocracy (God’s rule and reign)...t first it may seem like totalitarianism, as the Lord will destroy the antichrist spirit now dominating the world with “the sword of His mouth” and will shatter many nations like pottery...The kingdom will start out necessarily authoritative in many ways, or in many areas"<br /><br />Now think about this. Ted Cruz believes he is ordained by God to control the Mountain of Government, part of initiating the eventual second coming. As President, this guy, who believes he is to have an impact on the "last days," would have his finger on the nuclear trigger. This is a Hollywood Horror story script in real life.<br /><br />There's more at http://wp.me/piyp0-247 if you're interested. But this is why I believe Ted Cruz is far worse an idea that even Donald Trump.BJohnMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04268277554802121599noreply@blogger.com
