What are these Anonymous Christian Forums really?

[Web Ministry]

Though I also welcome and prefer to edify privately with brethren, this topic is testimony about so-called ‘Christian Forums’ which I’ve experienced first hand and how it relates to serving God. Because and without exception, in every forum I’ve seen, the ‘theme’ is more to do with prohibiting the members’ right to freedom of speech and character assassination against everyone that doesn’t agree with someone else’s “free speech”. So they’re not even true forums to begin with because a) there are so many rules restricting ‘true’ free speech and b) many topics are being deleted without even allowing people to ‘debate’ them let alone read them. :) In other words, the so-called ‘Christian’ who created the forum is already judging everyone including their brethren and trying to control everything to suit their own hidden agenda rather than simply letting it be a forum and trusting God's control. Of course there is always heated debate, foul language and everything else like that in forums but Christians should know to expect this from those still in darkness and thus perhaps make it ‘their’ mission to engage such individuals in God’s sight rather than taking offense to their natural behavior and/or trying to get them banned from the forum which is also silly because how can you trap souls for God to clean if you ban them? ;) Indeed, God willing, I minister in several ungodly forums too where the F-word is the norm and every member/every topic is met with hatred and anger no matter what so you can’t take it personally because we know the ‘ungodly’ hate both believers and non-believers anyway “no matter what”. :)

Ironically though, the ungodly forums are actually the most real and true forums because they reflect ‘real life’ where everyone is truly being themselves probably and free speech is actually being respected. Whereas in so-called ‘Christian’ forums, everyone cannot be their self because they exist there always under the threat of being banned/censored for “being themselves” and being fallible like anyone else in “real life”. And it inevitably turns into little more than a juvenile game of self-righteous believers hunting for and/or trying to trick other believers into making a mistake with how or what they said so they can come down on them like a ton of bricks in merciless judgment and/or get them banned just to make themselves feel better. So everyone is leery of everyone else, truth of any kind goes out the window, nothing constructive is accomplished and no one is serving God in any way. Indeed, I wonder what Jesus would have preached about today’s Internet and ‘forums’ in particular? . . . con't.

NO MATTER WHAT forums rules..... when they judging everyone and control everyone,they still trusting what they were doing that's "God's control."

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ISAIAH 2:4 only God can judgement
2:4He will judge between the nations,
And will decide concerning many peoples;
And they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning-hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war any more.

This is a nice place run by fair minded folks. Every forum must have riles and order. Personally if I cannot abide by someones rules I simply move on as I do not believe in going into someone else's "house" and creating turmoil.

Anonymous Christian Forums

Dear Friend,

I read your O.P. the other day and was not sure at that time, and I am not sure now as I return later, .....and see your responce to others, ....What the point was you were making in your O/P......in the context of 'talkjesus'.

I am aware of other 'Christian Forums'. Anonymous you call them? I am not sure what you imply.

I do not visit such now because such time as I have is taken up here at T.J. The bible is a big subject and the detail also, can be a big subject. But Salvation is of the Lord.

Here at 'talkjesus' we endeavor to talk about the Lord. The simplicity of this is astronomical, and trancends all other dogma, coming from whatever viewpoint.

You made your O.P. If folks reply in sincerity, as they have. Please do not reply........ "and your point is"

Reading through....such reply is no more without substance as your O.P.

I do not intend to offend. But please let us be reasonable and loving to one another.

In His Love

I do not intend to offend.

Oh yes You do indeed 'intend to offend' and most who read your judgmental retort would agree I'm sure. :)

We don't tell You what to say, so please learn to respect what others say? Since your limited understanding of God is no more germane than anyone else's, get off Your High Mod Horse and try doing some Listening instead of imposing Your delusional forum power over those of us who know better and perhaps You'll even learn something in His name in the process, God willing? Yikes, I'm now thinking this might be a 'teen' forum because you sound like a juvenile craving center stage? :) Grow up! That's my opinion and loving admonishment intended, brother. :)

I may not agree with everyone i feel some people on here are too judgemental and not giving much of Jesus love,however I dont think he would want us to argue,I think we all should come to some sort of understanding,some how met half way,i mean we are meant to be in eternity together one day,if we are going to get on up there,we should try to here on earth,this what Jesus would want us,so at least lets try for his sake please,llove to you all
