I'm slightly disappointed that I have come across so much toxicity , mockery and trickery as a new member.
I have joined this site because I am curious , exploring and want to become more committed to God , but I find it really off-putting when some quite a few people seem to find it a joke or some kind of interview that I need to pass. I don't enjoy elitism and think we should treat each other as equals.
I'm just saying this because if this is the way new members usually get treated you are going to scare a lot away.:allsmile:
Interesting.
You came here and said this:
Hi everyone ,
I joined TOL yesterday & am delighted to have found it.
Why were you "delighted"?
Didn't you have enough sense to check out the atmosphere of the site before you decided to make a judgement on it?
You came here to discuss the Gospel of Thomas, which is not holy scripture.
We, as Christians, have a duty to point out heresy and refute it, not be tolerant of it.
Stay.
You can learn a lot here.
But not if your focus is going to be on negative comments instead of the point.
Negative comments exist no matter where you go. Learn to deal with them.
But just so you know .....
TOL makes no apologies for being biased.
And yes, you will be ridiculed for dragging more heresy here.
But that still won't keep you from learning something valuable here.
