Mayor Peter Eater having trouble with the Bible belt?
You don’t say...........
Most true Evangelicals, those who are Bible-based, would never vote for a Rump Ranger.
May not?
"Did you know that. Orange Man BADTM because *coarse language* and divorce? (whispers) *also affairs*"
"But you can Trust Me, because I'm a Family-values-friendly...homosexual. Even my boyfriend says so, he wants us to get married!"
"Right you are, Mr. B-Plug!"
As someone who has served in two congregations in two denominations, I increasingly find the use of the Term, Evangelical, troubling.
What exactly is an Evangelical? as far as I can tell, it is a vague (fuzzy boundaries) and ambiguous (contradictory meanings) label that connotes those who are essentially Arminian and Anabaptist, whatever superficial label they use. Non-Denominational churches seem to abound herein, and they function almost as a denomination unto themselves.
Circa 1974, I was told emphatically by a Southern Baptist male (who later graduated from a leftist “Evangelical” seminary) that I was not an Evangelical Christian. (He, by the bye, was an extremely “liberal” Democrat, while I was a staunchly conservative Republican.)
I belonged to a denomination that spent more on missions, and had more missionaries, than most denominations. But because I did not fit his profile of one, I was not an Evangelical.
The Evangelium - the Gospel, the Good News - is the business of any and all genuine Christians, no matter what their specific theological, or political, framework.
I oppose the abuse of this term - whether by the Enemedia or by Churchianity.
MAY not??
I'll bet a LOT of 'evangelicals' voted for Romney!!
Correction.
Will not sway voters.
Episcopalians haven’t lifted up and honored CHRIST for some time....
Sorry Mr. Butt...BUT We FREEPERS will pass!!!
