I launched an online chat platform on Discord on Tuesday and there were almost 300 people on the first day. It became a mess.
I started the Discord server for several reasons.
The first reason is to integrate communities obedient to God's Word. So that there is an opportunity to connect locally when times get a little tougher than they are now.
The second reason was to help beginning believers. I myself am not able to answer everyone's questions. I am often bogged down in answering emails, messages.
Unfortunately, as it happens in groups, there are various scuffles and frictions, which can cause resentment and bad emotions.
Therefore, I will try to MINIMIZE any objections. Some will be happy, while others will be saddened. As the old Polish proverb says "he was not born yet who...
Initial Principles.
As neither my blog nor my Discord channel is some sort of ecumenism of ideas and religions, there will be the following rules:
- Believers according to verification will have access to all channels. The rest will only have access to some of them.
- There will be a GENERAL channel such a caffeterium (conversation on all topics) and channels such as BIBLE QUESTIONS, WORSHIP DISCUSSION, VOICE AND STATE, PRAYERS, HEALTH.
- There will be doctrinal differences (Adventist, Charismatic, etc.), but without forcing one's point by force. I myself have friends from different streams.
Since I am setting up the server for the readers of my blog and around the blog, it is for people outside of the denominations, i.e. for religiously free people. People who belong to churches have their churches, and it can't be that I'm fighting ecumenism and someone from a religion is attracting ignorant sheep.
This Discord is not assumed by any religion.
In the initial verification there will be a point that may lead to amazement, namely "Do you have respect for the founder of the blog detectiveprawdy.pl?". This question is designed to eliminate haters. If they lie , it will be their conscience.
Now it's the case that there are haters reading my blog, and sometimes they bite too. I don't have time to fight with people with unconverted hearts. It's not up to me. I leave vengeance to God, and limit my stress here.
There will also be a question in the revision concerning the acceptance of the present biblical canon. The day before yesterday people who did not understand the apostle Paul despite the fact that they were not at home were pushing their theses concerning Paul. If we remove Paul, so will Luke, Mark, and Peter, who spoke of Paul:
2 Peter 3:15-17: "And regard the forbearance of our Lord as saving, as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, and in all the epistles wherein he speaks of it. There are some things therein which are difficult to understand, and which unlearned and uninspired people misinterpret, as well as other Scriptures, to their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take heed lest, being seduced by the errors of those who have no regard for the laws of God, your own constancy lead you to fall."
This cuts out 2/3 of the NT.
If someone wants so, his will, let him create his own server and convince others of his teachings there. I will not interfere.
But here I feel responsible for people and will not allow the Bible as we know it to be undermined. Do you have a different opinion? I respect that and suggest you start another server. God be with you.
If you are a novice believer, then you need to watch your language and not use profanity (instant ban).
If we still have the opportunity, we will organize conventions in different parts of Poland or in the center.
The rules are made out of concern for the group and attention to quality.
At this time I have presented to you, dear brothers and sisters, the main principles, and as is sometimes the case in life, it remains to be seen what we need to do. I will try to keep this online chat on a biblical level. Love and mercy and truth are the key words of this place.
Greetings
Peter
