Cruz warms to Trump

[Smokin Joe]

If you think this was a guilt trip, then the scripture I provided has pricked your conscience, and you are reacting as all flesh acts out when the Spirit of God moves; it lashes out and accuses.

If you are faithful in little, you will be faithful in much.

If you are unfaithful in the little things, you will be unfaithful in the big things.

Simple as that.

Conservatism is an extension of our faith, our mindsets, our life philosophy.  If you can abandon that for expedience and lie to yourself that doing so is for the good, then you can just as easily abandon the faith under threat and intimidation and justify doing so as a better of two evils.

If that fact bothers you - take it up with Christ.  He spoke the words.

I'm just reminding you of them, and how they apply in that analogy you took exception to .

Well said, thanks.

Nice try, but...

FAIL!

Well a witness was given.

Thanks for illustrating what spirit you are of.

Well a witness was given.

Thanks for illustrating what spirit you are of.

Well, you think very highly of yourself.

I am very happy that my salvation is not dependent upon you.

The goofiest analogy that I ever did see, and obviously I am not the only one! And now you are doubling down. Grow up, and just admit that you made a goofy mistake and move on.

unknow you are the only one there is no one else quite like you here or even over at TOS only your other selves come close.

"It is, in some ways, a similar choice,"

No, I don't believe it is a similar choice. I have not been given an ultimatum to stop worshipping the triune God, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I do not have a knife at my throat or any of my kids, and I have not been told to 'Abandon your God or die'.

We are not at this place, yet.

With Hillary, we will be at this place. She has told us this. And Obama administration has put Christians in jail for their beliefs, fined them, put them out of business, etc. And with Hillary, it will get much worse.

We are not at this place yet. We will be with Hillary.

We disagree on timing, on where we are. I can accept that. For many years now, there are people that believe that getting a SSN means that you are bowing down to the idol of the state and have given up your Christian beliefs. I know there are some that won't understand my analogy. But my point is that you and I disagree on where we are in His story.

No ultimatums for Trumpster, no one tracking you, placing you on list, no one threatening you with talk of revenge and retribution....

Thanks for attempting to explain it to them, but I'm afraid you're just tossing pearls in the pen there Joe.

They don't get it, because ether don't want to get it.

So they will ridicule the attempt to explain the analogy - because it flies in the face of the narratives they insist everyone buy into.
