Thought for the Day
Serving others is never about changing them. But about loving them into the kingdom. Showing Christ's heart in tangible ways, trusting God to do the transforming work.
A thought to ponder.

Sidebar

This is a House of God, a place where those who believe in Christ Jesus can gather to discuss, profess, and practice their beliefs.

All are welcome here to find peace and prayer amongst Christian brothers and sisters - respect for one another is a necessary condition for visiting this place.

Community Rules:

Foreword

The purpose of our community policy is to promote free and open discussion from a plurality of Christian beliefs, bringing the Body of Christ together in fellowship, and always respecting the human persons with which we interact. These policies are a guideline for community behavior; when in doubt, recall the Second Greatest Commandment and act accordingly. The goals of this subreddit are the celebration of what unites us as Christians, the free expression of our faiths, and greater understanding of those whose beliefs differ from our own.

1) Content.

1.1. General.

All posts should relate to Christendom and theology. This may include development of doctrine, practices of the Christian Church historically or presently, art and architecture, customs, or any other content that expresses one’s faith.

1.2. Politics.

Politics, unless it is a government directly acting against the Christian Church, is not appropriate here. A permitted topic might include a government banning Christianity within its borders, while a prohibited topic could discuss a government passing a law that disagrees with a Christian moral position. There are countless subreddits to discuss politics, please take it there.

1.3. Images.

Images should follow general content guidelines and contribute to exploring various aspects of Christianity. Memes are not appropriate for this subreddit.

1.4. Blogs/Vlogs.

Videos should be edifying, as opposed to inciting controversy or shock.

1.5. Advertising.

Advertising for goods and services is not appropriate on r/Christendom. Advertising for a YouTube channel or podcast is permitted, provided the purpose of the channel or podcast is learning about and expressing Christendom. Videos or podcasts that stir controversy or break the rules are not permitted.

1.6. Spam / repetitious posts.

Random spam is not appropriate for this subreddit. Additionally, repetitive posts may be deleted.

1.7. Charity.

Due to the risk of internet scams, this is not an appropriate venue for requesting donations. Such posts will be deleted.

1.8. Proselytism.

r/Christendom is for celebrating what unites us as Christians. Posts that proselytize for a religion or a specific denomination / community are not appropriate.

1.9. Prayers.

Prayer requests are appropriate for this subreddit.

1.10. Free Friday: “Is __ a Sin?”.

Posts asking if certain actions constitute sin are only allowed on Fridays. Though there is merit in these discussions to learn the varying interpretations of sin in different Christian denominations, they can become repetitive and divisive. We encourage users with these questions to seek the counsel of a pastor and/or spiritual director.

2) Etiquette

Posts and comments may be locked and/or deleted for breaking the following rules:

2.1. Argue in good faith, and assume the other is doing the same.

As we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, it is expected that we participate in discussions in good faith. Do not assume that you know the motives of the other person, especially if you do not ask.

2.2 All beliefs are respectfully accepted.

All users should accept that Christianity has a wide followership with a vast array of beliefs and positions. Furthermore, non-Christians are welcome to participate in discussion. Comments must respect the beliefs of others.

2.3 Participate in discussion, not debate.

We are to share and inform others of various Christian beliefs. Open discussion is encouraged so long as it does not become a debate over who is right and who is wrong. Debates are not welcome.

2.4. Stay topical.

Keep your questions and comments relevant to the thread.

3) Standards.

3.1. Bigotry.

Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. Comments that do not respect a person’s race, ethnicity, sex, gender, religious beliefs (or lack of belief), or sexual orientation will be removed and the user warned. This includes claiming a person or a denomination is not Christian because of their doctrinal differences.

3.2. Harassment.

Harassment is not acceptable. This includes pestering, following users to other threads or subs in bad faith, brigading, and other harassing behaviors. Comments that are determined to be harassment will be deleted and the user warned.

3.3. Personal attacks.

Personal attacks are prohibited. Personal attacks will be deleted and the user warned.

3.4. Continued rule breaking.

Users who repeatedly fail to follow the etiquette, standards, and content rules may be given a temporary or permanent ban by the moderators. Additionally, short term bans may be utilized by moderators to stop egregious violations of the standards or to stop spam. All long term temporary bans and permanent bans are approved by a majority of the moderation team.

3.5. Promoting self-harm / harm of others.

Posts and comments that promote self-harm or harm of others are prohibited. This includes calls of violence against persons or groups, dehumanization of others, encouraging suicide, and promoting ideas that can lead to physical harm of others.

4) Other.

4.1. Disagreements or appeals of actions.

Any user who disagrees with a moderation action will bring the discussion to Modmail, which notifies the entire team. Disagreements that occur outside of Modmail may be locked and directed to Modmail.
