For any and all who make excuses for the Hypocrites who run some of these forums. I have been Banned several times and consider it a Blessing. I always make a few posts and comments before I support any forum. I don't support any who will turn the lost away. I understand it's there site to do with as they please but to call themselves Christian I wonder if they know the meaning of being a Christian. I relate them as one who attends his Church regularly only to indulge in sinful activity in between. And I have seen this often. I'm not judging only telling what I have seen. I already said it but Ill say it again you can't help anyone who is lost or change the mind of anyone with a different view by running them off. Ill also say this again what would Jesus do with his forum. Think about that.

Thanks for everyone's comments on the subject.

I agree.
I'm not talking about this forum where anything can be discussed.
Some don't allow certain subjects.
Some don't allow non-Christians.

It's nice to be able to talk about anything as long as it's civil.
And especially non-cristians should be allowed! How else can they come to know what we believe?

You who pass judgement, do you engage with the non-christian members? I'm not sure about other sites, but on this one you have posted in the non-christian forums just once. In June Questor replied to you and you didn't reply back.

Ha.

Actually, i asked to be banned from this site for a time. I was going through a difficult time in my life and needed the break.

I enjoy you being here...I am going to pray tonight..(and whenever I feel nudged by God to do so)...that you receive a double blessing from Father God.
That you become conscious of being soaked in His love , and that He opens your heart to see new and precious thing of Him.
Bless you...✟

many of these sites have theology agendas and anyone that questions that theology is banned. whats the point of having a discussion bord when you cant discuss anything. if bad theology threatens your faith its better to face it and debunk it rather than use big brother to censor their words, that solves nothing.

I pass Judgement on no one that's Fathers business. I do feel as if it's being passed on me. I welcome any and all Christian or not. If I felt a need to go to the forum you speak of I would do so. And as for Questor sending a reply, am I not allowed to miss once and awhile. I am a man and not perfect.
Sorry your so upset with me or is it just my post. I never said anything that wasn't true. And am very grateful that this is one place one can share in his belief. Not saying right or wrong good or bad. So what would Jesus do. Think about that.

While my comments may appear passive aggressive, I am only tying to make you think about the undesirable position of an accuser. It is nothing personal, I believe it helpful to respond to people by their own standards. This is the standard Jesus uses to judge. Better to judge ourselves before it gets to him. Judge in the context of decernment, not to make a ruling which is the forbidden kind.

What do you call this?

I compare these so called Christians who run these forums to those who killed Jesus.



An answer would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what your asking.


You said this...."I pass Judgement on no one"

But you also said this...."I compare these so called Christians who run these forums to those who killed Jesus."


That's passing judgement.

Just thought I'd point that out in case you missed it.

You have a nice day.

That's a very good point. I don't think I have ever posted in the "non-christian forums". I should do that.

Being banned from a so called Christian Forum doesn't bother me so much. Although I would like to tell those who do these things how misled they are. Jesus himself reminds us that the Lost and Sinners of the world are those who need his teaching more than the Found. To be Banned from these Forums who claim to be Christian doesn't help the lost at all. I myself have been Banned from several only because of what I believe the Bible really says. I ask this question would Jesus not allow me to give my opinion. Many Atheist are Banned from these forums. Would Jesus turn away from them. I think not but would do as he does which is to save. You will never get one of these lost soles to believe by sending them away. I compare these so called Christians who run these forums to those who killed Jesus. He didn't match up for them, he didn't teach there belief, his teachings were truth, and they couldn't have Him spreading it all around, so they killed Him. I'm thankful that so far here on this Forum I am able to speak my belief. It may not be one you agree with but we can freely discuss and maybe change one anothers mind.
The truth is hard to swallow.

I too have been banned on other forums and been the victim of injustice not becoming of christian leadership. There are a few limits I do agree with, such as full frontal attacks by the enemy, and belligerence in certain forms. But the brutal truth in love, should not be stopped.

I respectfully disagree. There is a difference between Judging some one and using Discernment. A mater of opinion I suppose.

Of course you do. No one likes to be told they're wrong.

When someone says they are a christian and you call them a "so called christian", you're judging them.

Comparing someone who claims to be christian to those who killed Jesus is also judging them.

You're basically calling them liars.

And finally, if you look up the word "discernment", I bet you'll find the word "judgement" somewhere in that definition.

Have a nice day.

I found this site by accident and I was drawn to this post. I was just banned off of www.christianforums.com. I had such a sense of unreality - the moderators there are in darkness. I had just met two people who I really clicked with, one who was a strong believer who knew scripture better than anyone I'd ever known. There was such "iron sharpening iron" and all of a sudden I was falsely accused of something. I knew it was "the accuser." It had happened before because someone on there kept reporting me for weird things. I was reported once for trying to perform an exorcism! I did no such thing. So I was reported again and the one moderator was sour and had a chip on his shoulder. There was nothing at all Christlike about him. I think what they do is they allow "supporters" to falsely accuse and when there is a judgment call they'll throw off a non-supporter to appease the sinning supporters.
I'm writing an article about how there are a lot of politics on forums and because of anonymity, there are more cases of abuse.
I asked them to give my email address to the two people I had connected with and they wouldn't even do that. I think that if Christ Himself had gone on their forum they would have thrown Him off. They're hypocrites. They can't see that they're blind.

Actually, your assessment of not only ChristianForums.com, but also ChristianForums.net is pretty accurate.

When I decided to register for the first time in 2012, this was 7 years after I came to faith. Yes, it took me seven years later to actually start studying scripture. Don't ask why, lol. Anyways, when I really started studying I was hooked. For the life of me I couldn't understand why people believed they could lose their salvation. I didn't have a lot of control back then. It pissed me off that they believed this, I didn't know how to approach them. So yes, I've gotten banned from 2 or 3 forums. Learning about the deception of false doctrine was well worth getting banned however.

I didn't hold anything back, my passion for Christ was pretty condemning back then. Now that I know the truth of my salvation and the truth of scripture, it's all hilarious to me now. Forums are basically arguments about works vs grace all day long. Once you know the truth though and you're eyes are open, there is no going back. All that's left is wondering why religion rules the world while the truth gets discarded.

So you've dealt with them too? I've never tried Christianforums.net but I believe you. I was so disappointed. I had met someone who taught the bible and he knew so much about Revelations. He had sent me several videos and it was really such a kick for my faith that I had needed. Then a false accusation came out of nowhere. I couldn't believe the moderators were so blind. But I've been in churches that were bad before and I was told that Worthy is bad too.

I asked the moderator to give the two people I was speaking with my email address. She refused! My husband said it was because they were afraid I would get him to leave the forum too. It was so unChristlike. My husband dealt with a lot of people on his job and told me that when someone got a little bit of power then it went to their head.

So I decided to make my own website and am in the process of setting it up: www.therenegadesaints.com - I just began it and haven't completed some of the articles but I wanted to offer others that experienced the same thing validation.

I urge everyone to read this article and you'll see why these forums are so corrupt: Christians: More Like Jesus or Pharisees? - Barna Group

Thanks! I hope so. I met some nice people on there - it's such a shame that the moderators refuse to search their own hearts to "see if there be any wicked way in me."

It hurts to be falsely accused.
