Testing the waters...

[HeirConditioned]

Hi. I've been on this site for a short time, and have, until now, neglected to introduce myself. I apologize for skipping that... It may have helped me feel more welcome than I have been made to feel here so far.

No worries, from my point of view, I've simply stumbled onto another group of individuals who are actively engaged in being right about everything, and comfortable in letting others know upfront that they're wrong... about whatever.

I came here seeking mature and mutually respectful discussions about God's Word. I've waited for weeks to find something. I decided to just test the waters by responding to a couple posts...

That didn't seem to be work. On one thread, I presented an inquiry and provided an acceptable context for my inquiry... I was told that 1. I was wrong, and 2. They don't have time to show me why I'm wrong.

On another, after making just one simple comment, I've received two response by the same person who found a different way to tell me I was wrong... before I'd even read the first response.

I backed up my response, as I'm always told I have to on these sites, but what I'm receiving is just people expressing unfounded opinions.

What gives? Is this what Christian Chat is about?

Let me know how I can make this work, or tell me to leave.

Hello @HeirConditioned, welcome to CChat I'm glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us!

I haven't read any of your posts (other than this one), so I can't comment about any of them, but I'm sorry that you've been given a bit of a rough ride since you've been here (it's just the way that it is around here sometimes )!

You could ask people why they decided to reply to your posts in the harsh manner that they did, or you could simply count the persecution (if that's what it is) as an opportunity to act with patience and kindness towards those who are doing so (as the Lord instructs us to .. e.g. Matthew 7:12) and by doing so be a much-needed example for others of what a Christian is supposed to be like, here and elsewhere

God bless you!!

~Deuteronomy

1 Thessalonians 5​

23 May the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body ​

be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ​

24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. ​

I felt the same way very first day here. But don't let it get to you as I did. Just stay true to the word and hang in there. I enjoy a good conversation if you are up for it. Let me know
