Some Evangelicals are solitary Christian ministers preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ while others may be closely associated with pursuit of particular political interests consistent with Christian moral beliefs. Evangelical 'churches' tend to be wrongly organized around hierarchical priests with family and staff financial interests prioritized.

Deuteronomy describes Israel as a nation of priests for God, Christians should be a priesthood of equals with Jesus Christ as the sole High Priest.

Evangelicals should be those preaching the good news of Jesus Christ. Because the contemporary Christian church has failed to realize that it should be a priesthood of believers the word evangelical has morphed in to meaning entire Christian sects. These sects have been politically co-opted by the forces of global oil power through the means of politicians (Bushes) supporting meaningful Christian moral positions, while Democrats have taken the other side of the coin and offer comfort to homosexuals and abortionists.

Jesus was referring to the priestly and temple form of worship of the Jews that had been non-productive. The worldliness of the priesthood and desire to place themselves on stage in the spotlight with a corresponding revenue stream was the wrong way to
