Promoting Christ is still the goal here.
Hi, I know I’ve been inactive here due to personal priorities. I just wanted to share and respond to some of the criticisms I’ve saw today and remind everyone what our priorities are for this community.
The moderators and even members here have various different beliefs regarding biblical doctrines. Our goal however, as moderators, is to promote Jesus and bring others to salvation. This community allows dialogue, disagreement, and we even welcome the doubting, because we want the truth to be made apparent. Jesus asserts He is the way, the truth, and the life.
As far as our convictions go about calling out communities like NAR and the Pentecostal movement. This is something God has placed on our hearts, and for me it is because I did not know my Father until I deconstructed from those harmful movements. It comes from a place of love to want to encourage you guys to seek the truth in God’s Word. You don’t have to agree with everything we post, but this comes from a good place in our hearts to correct and point to Jesus.
The most loving thing we can do as Christians is to speak the truth, despite how uncomfortable it makes people feel. If we stay silent on everything, nothing will ever change. Just as people are politically active to want changes within their country. We as Christians should be spiritually active to want changes within our community. Our goal should be leading people to Jesus, but also to cut the weeds around us.
Despite how you feel about some of these recent posts, I hope you recognize that there’s a diversity of thought in the body of Christ and all of us in moderator positions want you all to know the truth in Jesus Christ and find salvation and peace in Him first and foremost.
Thank you,
Acelia
