Christian ForumsReviews of christianforums.com

I will add to the chorus of negative reviews. There is compelling evidence that this site is in league with the disturbing global trend to right-wing authoritarianism, including the suppression of legitimate free speech. People on the right are free to repeatedly lie. But if ye dare call them out on dangerous falsehoods, you are censured. Stay away.

Christian Forums is obviously not a Christian forum or one making any effort to be. Right there on their home page they've featured content that is deceptive, malicious, childish, and foolish, there only to stir up strife. It's an echo chamber for folks to come together and enjoy slandering and demonizing those they see as their political enemy. Looks like whoever is pulling the strings on there is on the very far right and into QAnon conspiracies. Whatever one's personal political beliefs may be, discussions and debates need to adhere to Christian standards. This forum makes it clear from the start they have no such standards. Also extremely appalling that they're pushing fear-mongering nonsense about coronavirus like saying a vaccine will be the mark of the beast. That's not only reckless deception, it is abusive of the Bible. Shame on them. In fairness, I am not a member. I decided against joining after spending a few days reading through their site. I was wanting to find online Christian fellowship, this is not the place for that. It's possible they have areas only visible to members that actually make some attempt to be Christianly. But the home page is more than enough to know I don't want to support that site. What they choose to represent themselves tells me all I need to know.

Long long ago, Christianforums.com was a good and decent place. I was a member back about 20 years ago when the original owner had the place. When I logged off to go to work, I felt light as air, happy, uplifted for the sharing of community there. It was a gloriously Holy Spirit filled place and the people were kind, good, and of the faith. I wasn't there long before it changed. I'd left for a week on vacation and when I returned the place had grown dark. But it wasn't that apparent as yet. Turns out the owner sold the site. Slowly, the good energy, the positive life affirming God loving spirit of the place was overcome by the Trolls. The likes of one who calls itself "TULC", which is an anagram for "CULT". His twin, whatever that person is if not their other account, "HETTA", anagram for HATE, the extra T is suspected to be the first initial of their first name. "FreeInChrist", the sock account of the new owner. They're atheists! And they're Trolls. The good spirits departed because what was warm and friendly became hate filled, sarcastic, rude, ignorant, and attacked the faith by arguing for what was clearly false doctrine. Now these many years later I sought out a new forum to be a member of and after a Google search. I decided with all the results I'd go out and click on one of the later pages offered. I clicked page 10 of the search results. And that's when I found out how and why the Christian forum sites that are of the Devil are so. Because in 2012 an atheist decided to give a tutorial to atheists and a directive to Troll Christian forum sites. I think they had other blogs that were far older but dedicated to the same agenda. If the link I share doesn't work, just keyword search this term: God is hate Trolling Christian Chat Rooms 101 When you find that site you'll notice an update about christianchat(dot)com. They're co-owned by the owner of CF.com. You'll also notice the thread topics that are suggested to start the Troll ball rolling. And you'll see those topics are found in every Bible Discussion Forum on every Christian site. BDF's are the most contentious board in any Christian discussion community site now. And you'll read why if you search out that Troll site. Very educational. Christianityboard)com( is one of the latest aquisitions by the owners of CF from what is being said in emails between members and former members. Apparently, some of the family members of the atheist family that own these sites are a bit tired of the family hobby. If there is a decent busy real Christian forum out there, Troll free, please update this review site. It would be refreshing to find such a place.

very stressful .

I wish I could give it zero stars, banned for reasons they allow others to post, the mods are probably not even Christian. It a money making shceme, which should be audited by the government.

The members thrive on proving others wrong. In my experience, they do not want to assist people in getting the most out of their faith, but merely have you leashed. The staff think they are better than their members; they ought to be thankful of their members who allow them to be in the position they are in. The staff are harsh on their members for what is and what isn't allowed to be said. The staff are not better to staff; as a previous senior moderator (now purple mod), I was on the sharp side of the upper managements sword. You could not act unless they have instructed you; they're running the 'forum' like a business. Do NOT purchase the upgrades; they are a money making site which owns many sites under their parent company. I'm glad I left that godless site! You ought to be ashamed to call yourselves Christian!!

I was banned for trying to discuss what I believed to be a false teacher; which CF labeled as flaming. I provided video evidence and Scripture to back up my claims, saying that the Bible does call us to call out false teachers--and even in my thread said I would be happy to be corrected, with Scripture (which rarely happened, and if it did, Scripture was clearly taken out of context). My threads were closed (note, no profanity, no insults at other members, my only comments were directed at discussing Henry Cloud, a prominent figure in the church). Once my threads were closed, I asked simply why was it discussing false teachers is flaming; and made the comment that if someone came preaching Islam, shouldn't we renounce it? This got me banned. CF is universalism, not Christianity.

Websites where you can't even simply delete your account are pretentious capitalist companies that want to keep you on file so they can continuously send you offers for subscription or other reasons that profit them. And people answering questions are random, unqualified and unable to give sensible answers. Useless.
