Evangelicals the most unfavorable religion

https://dailycaller.com/2023/03/15/americans-evangelicals-most-unfavorable-religion-poll/

"A new poll found that 27% of Americans view evangelicals as the most unfavorable religious group, with Jews ranking as the most favorable, according to Pew Research Center (PRC).

The poll asked Americans to rank six of the mainstream religious groups in the country: Jews, mainline Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, Mormons and Evangelical Christians. Americans indicated that they had the most negative feelings toward Evangelical Christians at 27%, with Mormons coming second at 25%, according to the poll."

Is this in line with Jesus saying the world would hate his disciples as well as they did him? Or, is this evidence of a poor witness of evangelicals for Christ?

"Now a bishop must be above reproach, married only once, temperate, sensible, respectable, hospitable, an apt teacher,..." (1Tim 3:2 NRSV)

I get the impression from those outside the faith, that they do not disrespect evangelicals for the gospel, the teaching of that Jesus Christ is truly God, and the only atonement is through the death of Jesus Christ. I believe Paul and Peter have given us the description of the real problem.

"What business of mine is it to judge outsiders? God is their judge. But within the fellowship, you are the judges: ‘Root out the wrongdoer from your community.’" (1Cor 5:12-13 REB)

"Be wise in your dealings with outsiders, but use your opportunities to the full. Let your words always be gracious, never insipid; learn how best to respond to each person you meet." (Col 4:5-6 REB)

He [the leader, pastor, bishop] must moreover have a good reputation with the outside world, so that he may not be exposed to scandal and be caught in the devil’s snare. (1Tim 3:7 REB)

"Let it be your ambition to live quietly and attend to your own business; and to work with your hands, as we told you, so that you may command the respect of those outside your own number, and at the same time never be in want." (1Thess 4:11-12 REB)

"If you are reviled for being Christians, count yourselves happy, because the Spirit of God in all his glory rests upon you. If you do suffer, it must not be for murder, theft, or any other crime, nor should it be for meddling in other people’s business. But if anyone suffers as a Christian, he should feel it no disgrace, but confess that name to the honour of God." (1Pet 4:14-16 REB)

The two main areas that seem to draw the most disrespect, are abortion and same-sex relationships. These are two topics that vary greatly in the Bible translations of the pertinent verses, and complete agreement among the assembly of Christ through the centuries is absent. It is little wonder that evangelicals are considered "haters" and it doesn't take long on the Internet to see it. Yes, yes, the depraved and leftists are haters too, but Christians are to be better.

Evangelicals come across more like the Pharisees of Christ's day, who attack others who reject their idea of religion and sin.

Well I now know that God is quite normal actually.
I was previously taken to an evangelical worship session and the first thing that came to mind was the Wild West movies that we saw on tV. When the red indians were making their charge against their enemy, with their high pitched loud babbling kind of noise. That kind of evangelical behaviour is definitely not worshipping God.
Those Christians have not been taught properly from the scriptures.
Just a form of godliness…
2 Timothy 3:5 KJV
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

I believe it has more to do with Christian nationalism; at least right now. They're seen as a bunch of hateful bigots; and not without good reason in many cases. Unfortunately they're also the most vocal so that's the face of Evangelical Christianity people see and remember.

So many little groups doing their own thing here, (I suppose you have to start somewhere.)
And some of them,
Instead of preaching the love of God, they yell about hell fire.

I heard the testimony of a gang member who died and went to hell but was resuscitated. His thought was if Christians knew about this and didn't tell us that is pure hate.

The problem with such polls is that its not scientific at all. Evangelical can mean anything in the mind of a person. Every form of church from old Southern Baptist to the NAR, and probably most people think of televangelists, and they strike disgust in the hearts of manyChristians as well as non.
I place no confidence in any such polls.

these " polls" are to make Christians look bad.

now, that being said, i am on twitter and the hate i have felt at times from non-believers when talking about God and the Bible is real..

That’s why I automatically placed pentecostals under “evangelical” in post #9 because Pentecostals were not mentioned.

Sure enough. The anti-christians are rampant, and rabid.

They certainly are. Just yesterday, I saw a bumper sticker on a car that read, "I don't care what the Bible says."
