They completely reject the concept of God's covenant with Christians and argue that His covenant is still with the Jews. They don't consider Christians His Chosen People,but rather the Jews. Plus,they think Christ was the Jewish Messiah,then they are fervid supporters of Israel,less critical of that government than most Israelis. Theologically they would seem to be more like Messianic Jews than Christians. I realize they don't practice Jewish ritual or observances,but in terms of their basic beliefs? For all their "Have you heard about Jesus",when you get past that (yeah,I have) they go off chapter & verse on you a mile a minute and it quickly devolves that for the most part they quote from the Hebrew scripture,or old testament as we still call it,which mainstream Christians hardly read at all any more. Since they are saturated with Judaism,since their nuts about Israel,since they have the same core concepts as Messianic Jews,what's the diff or is there one?Sure doesn't seem like it.

This is what I think evangelical means. I have no idea what you think...
evangelical definition
adj.
1. Of, relating to, or in accordance with the Christian gospel, especially one of the four gospel books of the New Testament.
By this definition I am an evangelical. Jim

You have a lot of wildly inaccurate ideas.
Mainstream Christians read the Old Testament just as much as anyone else. Evangelicals do not quote from the OT "for the most part".
Do some research and find out what Evangelicals actually are. Even Wikipedia can help you with that.

If you want to present a reasonable argument...
At least use BROAD GENERALIZATIONS
instead of
ABSOLUTE STATEMENTS!
