Brannon Howse: Aired October-14-2013

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has become a Tea Party hero with this stand against ObamaCare and while many of us agree with his opposition to ObamaCare, what does Cruz believe theologically? The religious beliefs of Cruz and his father have been the focus of several national publications and news reports. Rafael Cruz is the father of Ted Cruz and has campaigned for his son and with his son even at pro-family and religious events. Today Brannon plays an audio clip of Rafael preaching and proclaiming his belief in dominion theology and what clearly sounds like the 7 mountain mandate of dominionsim. In fact, what Rafael is promoting sounds very close to the beliefs of the New Apostolic Reformation. Dr. Tommy Ice is an author that has written about dominion theology starting in about 1984 and he joins Brannon today as his guest. Ted Cruz has also been publically seen working with David Barton and Ted Cruz has defended Barton in a recent interview despite Barton’s numerous reported historical inaccuracies and his troubling theological beliefs such as proclaiming Glenn Beck is a Christian despite Beck being a Mormon. How might the theology and eschatology of Ted Cruz and his father be driving their political work? While many Christians can support certain public policy positions of Ted Cruz and would many Christians have and would vote for him given the opportunity; is it not acceptable to discuss his worldview or that of his father and how it shapes their public policy positions?
