Welcome to Talk Jesus Forums!

Talk Jesus is mainly about two things. Edifying the church {believers} and sharing Truth with others seeking answers and understanding of Christianity. If you have not yet received Jesus Christ as Savior, it is likely you've been led here by GOD so you may learn about His love for you found in Jesus Christ alone. We are here for you.

Our little motto...

a community for serious Christians & those seeking Jesus Christ

Compassion & Consideration
There are some very simple things to keep in mind when reading others' posts and responding in a discussion. Ask yourself and understand how you represent Christ. People will disagree with one another, it's GOD-ordained that everyone has different views and understanding of life and the bible. Every believer is on their own level of understanding, maturity and have their own upbringing, background and culture that makes them unique from everyone else. There is a way to disagree, with respect and understanding. Do not argue or use harsh tone in your responses. If any member argues with another, gently correct them. Do not respond sarcastically, do not cave into the argument, do not lash back. Naturally, respond with Scripture in love. Respond with grace. Respond with the hope of helping a lost or confused person. Let's do this as a community in whole. Let's remember we're all flawed and have failed in life in every way we can imagine. Our flesh spikes to the top and our hearts lead us instead of GOD. We get angry quickly, respond from the flesh instead of the Spirit. However, love is patient and covers a multitude of transgressions.

If a member argues with you or insults you, report it to me first and I will deal with that person.
