Here are important rules to follow:
~Be friendly and respectful to other members and their personal opinions/beliefs
~Follow Gaia's ToS
~If you feel you need to rebuttal a statement, do so in a way that supports a Biblical stand point.
~Avoid sarcasm as it can be incredibly offensive to others
~Please refrain from swearing, taking God's name in vain, cursing, and using other offensive words/phrases.
~If you have a doubt about posting something because it may be offensive then please refrain from posting or reread and reword your statement
~Try your best to make positive word choices instead of negative ones. For example:
Incorrect: Your opinion stinks!
Correct: I find your opinion to be rather interesting and/or insightful.
~This debate forum is not all about winning, it's about being able to express your view point and see the view point of others.
~Use Bible verses as needed to add validity and understanding to the point you are trying to make. If you can put what version of the Bible that it came from, that is also helpful.
~If you feel strongly about your opinion/belief/perspective then don't feel the need to change it just because of something you read on this forum unless you believe that God wants you to change something in your life. Also, remember, test every spirit as the Bible says. Don't take anything anyone says as fact and research it on your own before deciding to change your own beliefs.
