Building a Grace-Filled Online Community
Welcome to the BiblicalTools community. This is an open platform where believers and seekers gather to study Scripture, share insights, support one another through prayer, and grow together in faith.
These guidelines exist to help maintain a space where genuine connection, spiritual growth, and respectful dialogue can flourish. We trust our community members to engage with wisdom and grace.
"Let your word be always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, to know how you ought to answer each one." - Colossians 4:6 (KJ3)
This community is built on the foundation of Christ's love and the pursuit of truth found in Scripture. We value:
We welcome thoughtful dialogue about Scripture, theology, and matters of faith. Different perspectives and honest questions help us all grow. Disagreement is natural and can be productive when approached with humility.
Share prayer requests, offer to pray for others, and provide encouragement. This is a place where burdens can be shared and carried together.
Share verses that have impacted you, discuss biblical passages, and help others engage with God's Word. Context and thoughtful reflection are always appreciated.
Your story of faith, struggle, and God's work in your life can encourage others. Authenticity builds genuine community.
If you're exploring faith, have doubts, or simply don't understand something, ask. Honest questions are always welcome here.
Attacking, mocking, or demeaning other users is not acceptable. Critique ideas respectfully, but never attack people personally.
Content that promotes hatred, violence, or discrimination against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, gender, age, or sexual orientation will be removed immediately.
This includes sexually explicit material, graphic violence, or content promoting self-harm. Keep the platform safe for all ages.
Repeated posting of the same content, unsolicited advertising, or promotional material unrelated to the community's purpose will be removed.
While we welcome discussion of difficult topics, deliberately spreading false information or promoting conspiracy theories that could harm others is not permitted.
Intentionally causing division, starting arguments for their own sake, or consistently derailing constructive conversations undermines community.
The following will result in immediate account removal without warning:
Christians throughout history have held different perspectives on secondary matters while united in core truths. We expect disagreements and welcome them when handled with maturity.
Remember: Unity doesn't require uniformity. We can maintain fellowship while holding different views on non-essential matters.

Our goal is restoration, not punishment. Most situations will result in a private conversation and opportunity to correct behavior. We believe in second chances but also in protecting the community.
