I've participated a bit in two other forums. One is a bit like the "wild west". There are a wide range of views and "types of Christians". They do have some important standards, but even those are not tightly enforced. The other is a lot more "tight". The range of views is much more narrow. I'm definitely NOT looking for criticisms of this forum, just for general characterizations. Is ok to ask this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds hopeful. Many different beliefs, but well moderated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do most members who comment seem to have good biblical knowledge, or are there many relatively new believers? Are most relatively theologically conservative or liberal? Or perhaps there is a wide range, as indicated by wingnut's reply, "many beliefs"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do like the Chat better than the forums. Chat has a more lighthearted atmosphere. While if you want to ask a real deep question... some of them may be best asked on the forums. Thanks! I'm glad to hear that. It sounds like people come here for a range of reasons. That's good. At least imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say many are well educated. 20 minutes ago, Mark Corbett said: Do most members who comment seem to have good biblical knowledge, or are there many relatively new believers? I would say most regulars have good biblical knowledge, not necessarily everyone who comments does though. It also depends on the forum area, outer court is accessible to non-believers so you get a wide variety of comments there. Yes there are many new believers as well. 22 minutes ago, Mark Corbett said: Are most relatively theologically conservative or liberal? I would say most of the regulars are theologically conservative. 22 minutes ago, Mark Corbett said: Or perhaps there is a wide range, as indicated by wingnut's reply, "many beliefs"? What I mean by many beliefs, is in regards to certain doctrinal issues. If you have not done so, you may want to familiarize yourself with the ToS and SoF located at the bottom of the forum page for the site. While there is some latitude for those who are asking sincere questions, there is also a standard the site adheres to. Enjoy. God bless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope and pray that I will be a blessing to others! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Like much of life it is what one makes of it. It may be a most pleasant place. Fortunately it is a place of rules that seem to be adhered to with the assistance of many participants. I suspect I am often of a distinct minority view, yet I seem to be well tolerated. Course I do utilize a feature called ignore rather generously too. Welcome.
