Most forum readers don't go to chats and vice versa. But here in the bible discussion forums people are as bad or worse. It's vicious in here. Many Pell avoid coming here because of how badly they are treated.

You need to report them by name, and they will send in a mod. I'm sorry you were treated this way, but this is the internet. Just because poeple say they are Christians, doesn't mean they are.

I think Sparkman did a post on this, specifically about the chat rooms. You might want to pm him and get the thread title.

God bless!

As mentioned not everyone that names the name Christian is one, here or out there. You can tell who are the regenerate and the un-regenarate or very immature by the way they talk to people they disagree with. They always have opinions with no Scripture or if they do have Scripture it's out of context. They will exalt themselves over God, in their salvation.

Brother II Timothy 2:23-25 "Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.24 And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,"

Wwelcome to CC, dude!

Yeah, people can be mean. Like Angela said, not everyone is a Christian, some are baby Christians and some are here to cause havoc. I think we can all say we've been treated in a similar way unfortunately. Sorry you had to experience it yourself.

yeah people with huge egos and no practice in holding one's tongue,it's good to speak up for the lord but when you speak to hear yourself talk then there is a problem especially when this is not some book we are speaking of it is God's word the bible and should not be so quickly spoken of unless you "know"what you are talking about,there shall always be people like that for so many seek to make themselves out as something when they have done nothing

We can't control the behavior of others but with the grace of God and action on our part we can control how we personally treat others. Sorry for the bad experience in that room. I rarely frequent the chat rooms as I prefer more personal in-depth interaction with the forum peeps. If people don't respect themselves it is no wonder that they won't respect others. What you can do is pray for these types of people and allow God to work through you to make a positive difference in their lives, even if only for that day or moment. Glad to have you join us. Welcome to CC.

Though it may be bothersome try not to hold any bitterness towards those people. Continue to love them and forgive any harsh things they may have told you. The lord will continue to work on their hearts as they grow in the faith.

Some people test fruits in a way that seems strange, but there are a lot of hurting people in the world, that have been deceived, lied to, manipulated, and so on, buy people they had put their trust in. Not saying this is the case, since in short time in bible discussion, seen peoples words get twisted into something that wasn't being said. But maybe you might need a break from rooms. The forums can be a battle ground but sometimes its better to stand alone in here, than be ganged up on in chat room.

I prefer the forums because more people in the forums are prepared to respond with considered thoughts and scripture to a post when they think the poster is misguided.. But on chat more often you try to respond to help others you will get over emotional people just try to undermine your efforts and denigrate you as some hate monger because you are giving the other person the truth when it seems that a lot of Christians in the forum want nothing but affirmation and support for their false beliefs..

Last time i was on that forum i was trying to stand up against the false teachings of catholicism but i was attacked for for not being nice.. There are too many snowflakes in chat.. Who just want to hear everyone supporting everyone else in their beliefs.. I have not been in chat for a week or so because it is hard when you are talking truth and your just getting called a hater.. I am sure that if a satanist went on there wanting to know about Christianity and you came out against the worship of satan there would be "" christians ?"" in there seeking to shut you up and telling the satanist that it's all cool and devil worshipers believe in God too... It is sickening really..

Its good to keep in mind that hurting people hurt other people. It may be better doing our best to kill the hurt with kindness. Something that Father has been working on in me, is that, because i stink at it.

I'm guessing here -- "biblestudy room?" One of the chats on this site? (I don't do chats on this site, so don't know.)

If I'm guessing accurately, you just jumped out of the pot into the fire. Chat's might be rough on this site, but I can guarantee this forum, (and News Forum, albeit it hasn't been about news for a year now), is the fire! This is where people learn to be "harsh." This is where people sharpen their harsh sword.

And to be clear, I agree with you that attitudes need to change, but that doesn't change attitudes.

Sure, there are many rude people in here, but there are many nice ones as well. I stay here because CC is the best forum I have found so far.

I've only been seriously disappointed at reactions on this forum, one time. But, today is a new day.
