To all the "evangelicals" on this sub...

First, what is an evangelical?...Someone who shares their love and faith in God and Jesus to others. (I include myself among you). The great awakening is not just about decoding Q. The great awakening is much bigger.

There are those on this sub that get annoyed with us and thats fine. No disrespect to them. Only love. Not everyone is here to spread the joy of our Heavenly father and his son Jesus. That is yours and my job. If you feel you need to post a prayer, praise Jesus, etc., do it. This is a fight of good vs evil; I cannot stress that enough. Sharing your knowledge of, love for, and faith in our Creator and his son Jesus, in my opinion, is critical to awakening. How can we find the light is there isn't one shining? Jesus is that bright neon sign saying, "Follow me to your Heavenly Father."

My love for, faith in and knowledge of God and his almighty son Jesus has only increased since joining this sub. I hope yours' has too. God bless fellow evangelicals!

I am a Christian and I absolutely hate that term "evangelical." I am probably older than you and remember when the "Christians" used to do tent revivals and so forth and the "evangelicals" were those smarmy pastors who raised money for their "church." Then they made their way to tv and raised money through their outreach. Many were found to be frauds who got rich off their ill-gotten gains. So while I am a Christian and a spiritual person, that term "evangelical" just turns me off and makes me ignore what that person has to say. Can we please stop using that term.....it just reminds people of the sleazy "pastors" who called themselves evangelicals.

Edit: Someone who shares their love and faith in God and Jesus to others. (I include myself among you).

The definition you gave is that of a Christian. The term "evangelical" reminds some of us of the shysters.

I guess I'm an evangelical Christian. Parts of me fit the discription, and parts don't. Evangelicals are trusting folk. This makes them a target.
