Talk Jesus is one of the few remaining talk forums that stands for the Word of God. There are some here who don't like that.
They go to the forums that are nothing more than a social Bible version of Tik Tok, and come here to find the Scripture taken seriously and guarded.
I pray that Talk Jesus will continue it's stand for the Word of God and not allow the liberal view to take a front stage.
New guy here. I have been hunting through forums for a few years, as I now am retiring some of my service duties.
I have looked, and most I just do not connect with. I am now in this one, and another one I joined two months ago.
I have been in about 10 groups so far and I end up leaving here is why.
1. We all fall short, no one is above that, but also does not mean we just give a pass to sin either.
2. Judging others, is usually a place I find a wall at. Explaining and discussing a sin is one thing. Condemning others in judgment is another and I see it far to often in these groups.
3. Their are Christians and Christ Followers. I am the later. I am not following a religion I am following the Lord. There is no second place my faith lays, but in Jesus.
4. A liberal point of few once actually held many people in Christ and seeking him. The freedom it brought is now perverted in sins and satan.
5. Forums may have existed for along time, but that gives the operators not better connection with Christ then anyone else. Custodians is what they should be, and I see that their views often end up ruling over biblically sound operations.
6. Lack of empathy and fellowship.
7. I am not perfect, not even close. I am a sinner and fail often. I am honest with my failures and as a recently retired Pastor people do not accept that my life was not perfect. I did what I could to serve, I am humbled by my life no matter what it handed me, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit embraced my life. God has never failed me, yet I have him.
I wish I could do better, getting older, and still aiming to follow Christ. But I fail and yet. I am accepted by his Grace.
Pretty amazing if you ask me.
The bottom line for me in a group is to be here with like minded people in Christ.
To fellowship and embrace the word is how we fight evil. In so many ways we do not always see.
I popped in here to join. I am not sure if I will stay. But I do hope to. I am getting tired. And for me, I surely hope there is a place for
people like me, who live only because of his Grace. And we exist, because the most powerful created us. I am grateful for life.
