There are atheists in every Christian forum that tolerated their behavior.
They will pose as Christian. But their posts betray their ruse.
They deny the Gospel in different ways and their common denominator is to insist Jesus was a myth.
They'll do this by insisting we're not actually secure in our salvation.
They'll insist we can have our salvation stripped from us at any time.
They'll claim Jesus was able to sin because he was just a man.
They can't really outright assail the God they don't believe exists because then their fake Christian ruse would be obvious.
Instead they assail him in the identity of Jesus.
And then when people see this and call them out, other Christians don't like that approach.
They think we should assume a greater demeanor by example than either Christ or Jesus did, and tolerate such nonsense.
Or gently correct brackish wicked people who live to assail our faith. And ourselves.
Forgetting God never did. And never shall. Yet they believe in Hell. But not in confronting atheists and outright anti-Christian trolls.
So what do those Christians do?
Now that you can PM one another freely?
They PM in a united resolve to ignore those who call out Devil's.
Be they unique individuals or a plethora of sock puppets.
While they who make that secret PM pact themselves continue to feed Devil trolls and sock puppets..
Not at all Biblical. But it is what happens.
Do forums strengthen a faith?
No.
They test it.
It comes out in the wash. Those who are elitists,pride filled,arrogant, self-identified teachers full of braggadocio, yet are terribly ignorant.
And all the rest.
In Christian forums it's hard to find the real deal. Yet , when they are discovered they are a minor number. Without exception.
Why?
Because they try to hold to a doctrine that expects them to assume a higher morality than that of God.
They don't see this though.
They don't realize Globalists invented the New Testament. [Rome] In order to rule the world.
They took Jesus, and they interpolated rules of conduct he expected us to obey so to make us slaves to our leaders.
Making rebellion against Rome less probable for fear of our mortal souls.
''Slaves obey your masters....''
''If someone steals your purse [invades your country] give them your cloak also.....''
''If someone strikes you in your cheek, turn the other one to them...'' [Let yourself be beat to death. Because God , who taught eye for an eye, changed his mind about that in the NT]
''''Love your enemies....'' But ignore other Christians who stand for scripture. Love your enemies, and let their foul selves join with those worthy of your love.
Meanwhile, God, who was Christ, whom we're suppose to immulate as Christian Christ like, did NONE of those things in his OT.
He killed his enemies. He destroyed those who joined together against his will and teachings. He did not tolerate blasphemy.
And he damned for eternity those who disobeyed his teachings.
He did not love his enemies. He did not give more to those who stole anything from his people the first time.
He even made commandments to make it crystal clear. What was expected and what was not to be tolerated.'''Thou shalt not...''
And still in the OT his salvation,savior, was promised.
Malachi 3:6 “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.''
But he did change.
As Jesus said. ''I know you've been told an eye for an eye, but I tell you....''
Wasn't it he who taught eye for an eye in the OT? Rome couldn't change that. Which is why there is conflict between the OY and their New.
God is not found in structures made by mortal hands.
That includes a book. [Biblios]
Rome created a doctrine of the slaves to integrate with God's original Jesus breathed oral teachings of his good news.
Die a slave. You'll be rewarded after you're dead.
Take it on faith.
It's why the world is populated in majority by Christians today.
Yet is more depraved and sin filled than ever before.
First Satan fractured Jesus truth in writing. When what was an oral tradition was put to paper decades after Christ.
Where men were allowed to gather and vote on a narrative by consensus as to what it means to believe in Jesus.
Then other men fractured the Ekklesia further by defining what the NT means to teach about Jesus.
And eventually that idea was reformed even further.
Over 2000 years after Christ and look at this world. And the church.
Who saves us from ourselves?
I was on another "Christian " forum but it seemed there were more atheists and agnostics than Christians. Even most of the Christians there are evolutionists. It put me constantly defending my faith. On this forum the issue has been the deity of Christ. Does talking about these things increase your faith or cause you to doubt? Discussions about the Trinity and the deity of Christ have been run in the ground here. Do you find your faith strengthened by these conversations or does it cause you to doubt?
