Welcome to Christian Forums, a Christian Forum that recognizes that all Christians are a work in progress.
You will need to register to be able to join in fellowship with Christians all over the world.
We hope to see you as a part of our community soon and God Bless!
Paul said some preach Christ of contention, and we have all entered into one or more of those before, I am certainly not blameless there. But these sort of forums are for written communications discussing the things of God, its bound to happen seeing knowledge puffs up and ego's can be so frail
We are shown strife among the disciples
Luke 22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
Paul even said, "some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife and some also of good will", so both exist.
And we are told to "let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves"
We all get tired of the contentions, the ignore button is helpful, and I have been known to self ban (just to remove the temptation to come back to online forums) but I eventually come back after a much needed break and try again.
Now I was talking about SELF banning there, I ask for one, simply BECAUSE they are far more tolerant than I am

The Apostle Paul said in Acts 20:29 - For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
I say this because of my experience in many churches; I worked on staff too. These imposters are not only in churches, but everywhere a Christian organization exists. My point is, these wolves scare good Christians away, also the good Christians lack sound biblical doctrine knowledge to debate why they believe. Which makes them shy away because these same good Christians want to find a like mindedness community that doesn't exist, so they move on to another forum.

Yes, it's happened to me too! One in particular, I left on a Friday, returned on Monday, and Johann was gone. Not just gone, but his profile removed. I was unable to search his posts for some clue of what happened. He and I really meshed together. He was good for me, and I still miss him!
Much love!
That had to be by his own request. I didn't know him but the people that did all say they miss him. That's not a get banned for life kind of guy, especially on a laid back forum like this.
Thats who I was talking about, when I checked his name I wanted mine to appear the same way when I left, but it didn't my name shows up as if I was and am still a member under that user name (although I cannot sign in). So theres some confusion as to what exactly someone can ask for to get off a forum in a specific way.
I did catch up with Johann on another forum under my old user name Verily , but it wasnt too active and the forum just wasnt for me (so I asked to delete there also) I have to take another look how that shows up. I can share that link with you if you want to see him again, becaise that forum was a difficult one to find, and I know he thinks the heavens of you.
You might already be in contact with him, I am not sure.
Here is a link to a thread he is on
All Claims of The Son's Deity
All Claims of The Son's Deity In about 45% of the New Testament, 19 witnesses make 50 claims of The Son's Deity in 186 iterations, including 54 iterations by Jesus Himself. These claims are organized in three ways on separate Pages: There are far more claims of The Son's deity than I...

When I was banned for six months, I couldn’t read or send messages. I could see that I had a new unread message, but I wasn’t able to open or read it. I only got to read my private messages after the ban was lifted six months later. On other forums, though, I was able to send private messages even while banned. It seems like this forum uses an engine where a banned user completely loses access to their account.
Pompadour can I still get my old account Verily deleted in the same way Johann got his deleted? I would like that if it could be done, do you know who can do that for me here? I had asked for a ban and a deletion I think I just got the ban, and later opened up under this name, but it would be nice just to have one account (this one).

When I got banned, I saw a pop-up message saying my account was blocked, and after that, I couldn’t do anything with it. I couldn’t even read the forum while logged in. To just browse the forum, I had to log out and view it as a guest. I’ve been active on forums for years, and this is the first time I’ve seen a ban so strict that it blocks even reading access. It feels absurd to me—why apply such harsh measures to my account when I can still read the forum as a guest anyway? What’s the point?
Normally, bans let you at least read the forum or send PMs. Some forums might restrict certain sections, which makes sense. But here, it’s like they went straight for the most extreme option. I don’t know if this total lockdown is the default or if they singled me out for some reason. Do I really seem that dangerous just for reading? I’m honestly baffled.

I did a search for you on The Berean Forum, as Johann is usually found there..
He's not posted there since July 14, 2025.....
I hope He's ok.
