Forum Rules

ZERO TOLERANCE FORUM RULES!

Most all forums have rules... ours are fairly simple and straight forward and will be strictly enforced.

• Please follow all rules and guidelines that may be posted in other areas of the forum. Again... all rules will be strictly enforced.
  
  
• Our main goal at BTF (BibleTruthForums) is to provide a place for individuals to learn the truth about Bible and to protect everyone from false teaching. Therefore, if we believe this forum and/or a member or members are threatened in any way, including but not limited to any type of false teaching from another member, we reserve the right to immediately ban or cancel that member account without any notice.
  
  
• This is a donation free site. We do not accept donations of any kind for any reason, nor do we allow anyone to solicit donations from this site. Please do not post asking for charitable contributions of any kind. This site is not about money... it is about God and His Word!
  
  
• Please be polite, courteous and respectful of other members. Personal attacks of any nature are strictly prohibited. These forums are no place for negativity of any kind. We are here to discuss the truth of the Bible and to glorify our almighty and wonderful God in heaven. Let's make friends and have fun while doing so... and be different than the typical religious forums.
  
  
• Answers to all Scriptural/Biblical questions that are posted in the forums are to be answered by qualified individuals only and by those who are members of the Lord's church. If we see an answer that we believe is in disagreement to the Bible, we reserve the right to edit and/or delete the post without notice to the original poster.
  
  
• Obviously with this being a God and Bible centered Christian forum, we are here to discuss topics related to God, His Word and Christianity. Please stay on topic with respect to the various forums. Please also stay on topic with the thread title to which you are replying. Please do not hijack or steal someone else's thread... start a new thread if your post is not on the topic of the original thread.
  
  
• We realize people have different interpretations/understandings of what the Bible says. Therefore we do not mind healthy debating as long as solid scriptural support is provided. The ultimate goal is for all of us to come to the same conclusion, be of like mind and speak the same things, which is the truth. We at BibleTruthForums.com will never agree that there is more than one truth... therefore we will do our best to conclude a conversation or debate with the Scriptural truth and with the Bible being the final authority... not man's opinion. There is always a way that is right and cannot be wrong. If you plan on hanging around, have an open mind to the truth and understand that the truth will always prevail. The oxymoron "we will have to agree to disagree" will not be applied in this forum.
  
  We will do well to remember what the apostle Paul wrote: "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment." (1 Corinthians 1:10)
  
  
• We will not tolerate liberalism in this forum. We are looking for the truth and only the truth. As our well educated brother in Christ, Frank Chesser wrote,
  
  Truth is singular. Liberalism is diverse.
  Truth is tight. Liberalism is loose.
  Truth is narrow. Liberalism is broad.
  Truth is objective. Liberalism is subjective.
  Truth condemns. Liberalism excuses.
  Truth limits. Liberalism allows.
  Truth draws lines. Liberalism erases lines.
  Truth thinks. Liberalism feels.
  Truth points to one. Liberalism points to many.
  Truth affirms, "It's a very big deal." Liberalism avers, "It's no big deal."
  It takes a massive amount of arrogance to array one's self against truth, but such is the spirit of liberalism.
  
  
• There will be absolutely no vulgar or obscene language, no cursing, not even mild profanity is allowed. Euphemisms and acronyms for profane language is to be avoided... we wanna be squeaky clean! We believe we have censored most bad words, however we may have missed a few and/or someone may get creative. If you see astericks (***) in your post, you've slipped... edit it out or we will do it for you without notice. We may also edit/delete other words as we deem appropriate. There is to be no swearing, HOLLERING, spamming, slamming, trolling, arguing, bashing, trashing, rudeness, flaming, name calling, fighting, punching, kicking, pinching, and absolutely no sexual innuendo and no sexually oriented content. This applies to all areas of the forums including user names and titles. These are all strictly prohibited and adherence will be strictly enforced. There are absolutely no exceptions! Members will most likely be warned for first offense, however we may ban a member on some first offenses. We will certainly ban a member for repetitive non-compliance. We also reserve the right to edit and/or delete any post we believe may be inappropriate and we may do this without notice to the offender.
  
  
• Post are currently limited to 10,000 characters in an attempt to prevent long winded replies that have a tendency to lose ones focus and attention to the topic at hand. Let's all be mindful of this and keep our responses as direct and to the point as possible. In the same way, please try to focus on one issue at a time. If you have an article to post, you may have to post it in parts (Part 1, Part 2, etc.).
  
  
• Links to other religious websites are allowed, provided they speak the truth. We reserve the right to delete any links we feel are not appropriate. Please make sure your link is clean and in no way would lead anyone to anything that would be remotely questionable and/or offensive. We DO NOT allow linking to sites that include and/or allow false teaching... this would include nearly all other religious forums/message boards on the Internet. No links are allowed in your signature without permission from the forum administrators.
  
  
• Please do not cross posts (duplicate posts) between two or more forums areas. If you are uncertain about where a thread or post should be placed, ask us, we will try to help you decide.
  
  
• Please be cautious about posting copyrighted material and be sure to give credit where it is due.
  
  
• No advertising of any kind. Members may request best prices found on Bibles and Christian material as well as members may post links to sites that offer the same. However, links to sites that offer inappropriate material, regardless of what appropriate materials are offered, will be deleted and the member warned.
