Christian Forums is an online community for Christians around the world to find fellowship with other Christians.
I logged on today and my ip was banned. I don’t even post. I just lurk…. Idk what’s up but there’s no way to file an appeal. When your ip is banned you can’t even view the help page or the terms :(
A New Owner took over sometime in 2023, so bad reviews before then do not apply. I found the site over-moderated, more concerned with providing safe spaces for a dwindling number of users, than permitting real debate. I teased a moderator in a private direct message his claim to running a spiritual war forum was a Saturday Night Live parody, with chickens clucking sound track and I was banned for months!
Not Recommended for True Christian Fellowship ChristianForums.com is not a place I'd recommend if you're genuinely seeking biblical truth and authentic Christian fellowship. I shared straightforward truths from the Bible and was banned for life without explanation. This experience left me deeply disappointed. It appears that the site operates more like a business rather than a platform focused on sincere Christianity. Be cautious if you're looking for meaningful spiritual connections or biblically-grounded discussions; you might find yourself unwelcome there.
This is a disgusting antisemitic hate filled forum. They are anything but Christian. They have pedophiles like Daq on there spreading smut and heresy. I believe they are into money laundering and sex trafficking.
I gradually ran afoul of the mods as they came to understand better what I believed. The mod with whom I had the most conflict was of a "progressive" bent and determined that I would subject myself to her "niceness" standard which was, essentially, her own personal preference. Though I had been a much appreciated poster at CF, contributing to various forums for a decade, it only took one mod demanding I be just as "nice" as she to eject me from the site. There was great irony (and hypocrisy) in how not-nice the mod was in her interactions with me. The very "compassion" in dealing with fellow posters that she was determined I have, she entirely abandoned in her exchanges with me. And as I pressed her to give a biblical basis for her standard of "niceness" in the example of Christ and the apostles in the NT, her claws really came out and in short order, despite years of posts and near a thousand accumulated "thumbs up" from fellow posters, the mod banned me permanently. CF.com is not only a growing nest of "progressive" liberal "Christians," but is, above all, a business. And as such, CF.com wants as many members as possible. This means, of course, that God's Truth, which is necessarily exclusivistic, and narrow, and sometimes direct and unflattering to sinners, must be muted and the voices of worldly "compassion," "tolerance," and "unity" be encouraged to soothe and simper in its place. CF.com intends to make money; the salvation of the lost, the healing of spiritual sickness, the discipling of the spiritually-immature is secondary to generating profit. And woe betide you if you write anything that might limit that profit! When a "Christian" organization starts chasing after numbers rather than God, when they pursue Grand Totals rather than Truth, they become exactly like CF.com: Very "nice," very all-embracing, but far from Truth and very ungodly. Beware.
The forum is full of Satanists who hate the Bible truths.
Got my third strike. So no more access. Christian is a loose term here. They cater to many religious groups. There are some good sections for people needing advice or who have depression, and such. The advice there can be good. There are groups that you cannot post anything but questions in unless you are of that group. That's fine. But they don't allow you to block them out and they post those limited group posts for all to see as news. Why? Why would I want to see something that I disagree with or cannot challenge? Makes no sense. There are a lot of very immature posters there. That is expected. But they belittle, indirectly attack, spend all day posting accusations at you, etc. (SoulX and Daq). They are the ones that run the place with their reporting of you. So it is a bit like Hockey. The instigator is rarely addressed. So rudest and mostjuvenile pretty much rule the roost there. When you are reported. There is never a comment about things being addressed with the opposite party. Not response to what you were responding to. Like it has no bearing. Even good parents explain that they are addressing this with both you and your sister. Is it too much to address the name-calling, accusations, rudeness, and indirect insults made by the other party? So you have no idea what occurs. I don't personally care for that. Because I am not going to go back and report tit for tat. I have zero interest in that game. People make blanket statements that all must believe and accept, such as Sex is only for procreation. That you are either jealous or full of lust if you need to have sex for pleasure. That is OK for them to state. That is permitted. But replying that there is no scripture for that and that they are the ones with the depraved mind elling me what I'm thinking and what I'm doing and where my thoughts are, gets you reported. And striked. There is a conservative group led by a Mod that is not particularly mature and likes to play word games and belittle you as well. He thinks he has won something. Very passive-aggressive. Avoid. In short. Don't get too interested or too involved. keep your posts to one or two and done and just move on. Staying escalates with the other side. And when you are not shy. You are the reported one.
I am apparently banned. Yet I have no accou t there. They banned my IP. I used a VPN and searched fhe site. I see no evidence I have ever posted there. Either way I have not posted anything to any christian site which is offensive.
I wouldn't suggest for anyone to participate there. It's full of hateful people especially toward Catholics. Loaded with snide believers and unbelievers. This forum will destroy your spirit. Stay away!
Very frustrating and evil site. If you try to prove your point with scripture, there are trolls there that will argue that it doesn't say what it actually says. And yet you have quoted the actual words of scripture. The moderators will delete your messages. They will ignore any reports you do with their troll friends. But you will get marks against you if you even call their troll behaviour out. It's an evil and anti-christian site.
It's an awful fundamentalist site with millions of ads, some of which pop up over the text box you are trying to write in! There are a few knowledgebale people on the site but the overwhelming majority are deeply ignorant about the faith. It's family business and, as I understand it, the family also own several other similar so-called Christian sites - christianforums.net for example, which are also full of ads. It's just a money making business.
As most here have noted, this is not a place for a true follower of the Lord. Saints should not compromise on their beliefs and this board caters to atheists as well as heretics, apostates and other CINOs (Christians in Name Only). As well, I only learned this was a money-making venture after joining and participating for a little while. So no surprise to learn here and elsewhere who all is behind the whole enterprise. The saints should not be made merchandise of and should never go against their Lord and Master which one has to do to get along here. It’s sad because there are many genuine Christians and very nice people here. I suspect many of them aren’t even aware of how bad things are particularly if they don’t participate in certain threads, especially in the forums open to non-Christians. Would that there was a virtual place for the saints to congregate in spirit and in truth.
Moderators are control freaks arbitrarily implementing rules as they see fit that stifles meaningful discussions. There have been suggestions that the company is operated by an atheist family and my experiences would only serve to confirm. Sad they get to use the term Christianforums in their title without evidence or oversight.
Review of Christian Forums@Christianity boards. This site restricts & censors the truth while allowing heretical & mystical theology to abound. If you're a JW or a denier that Christ Jesus is God then you're free to spew out your heretical theology.. There are true believers that stay in the pleasant non-biblical threads to share their love of God for fear of retributions or rebuke. Censorship is rampant while heretics & their groupies have free speech. New owner is allowing the moderators to run the asylum.....while the sheep are falling off the cliff! They need to remove the reference to "Christian" from the name which is a call for HERETICS & LUNATICS to crawl out of their dark holes. Added: I just tried to log in to Christian Forums and it stated my IP address was banned, haven't been to site in over 3 yrs. Same owner of this site I reviewed, I think, bc I've been banned, quarantined @CB. They use the same format company
ChristianForums.com is a Satanic trap to draw Bible believing Christians there to mock them and attack the Christian Bible. Don't be fooled!
They penalize people for presenting actual facts, then ban them when someone on the same server (and thus the same IP address) opens an account to see how to help. They don't care if they drive people suicidal, don't give an actual chance to explain, they just assume the worst and treat people like crap. The popular people in some forums treat them like their private property and complain when their feelings get hurt.
I was a member of the forum for about three years. I had a blog and posted it on the forums. I was never censored, but the other day found out I was banned. Do not know why. I was never told over that time that I did anything wrong. I never noticed any real problems, but am surprised and saddened at some of the reviews. So my experience was good there until I was banned.

I operated purely on Worthy. I can't hold the site in complete distaste. Being a newer Christian, I wanted to explore various concepts and read the Bible first, before I ever stepped through any church door. Idea being to shop around. You never buy a used car without having the know how on how to spot deficiencies, so church should be the same. Thus I joined Worthy, as a way to see multiple viewpoints and learn. In this sense, I did learn and there were many helpful individuals on the site whom I have no issue with. I was there for years, after all, and acquired a fair few member points under my name (essentially when people like your post). I was never too high up, however. My issue instead is with staff and a few practices from members. I had noticed a number of views being expressed over the years that stood out as uncommon among the rest. These were interesting to me as, in my view, we were all just trying to seek truth and differing ideas are helpful in that. However, these people would often be labelled. Their names would receive different colors, and I took notice that their posting would be restricted and often had people dogpiling on them. The staff were rather self-interested in this respect. It's a lot less that you're invited to discussion, you're invited to listen and only continue if you start repeating what they say. Another peculiar annoyance were all of the domestic abuse or adultery posts. Women wanting help with an abusive husband, or a husband who is actively cheating on her. The overwhelming response by the users is to just "live by example". Take it quietly and do your duty as a wife, pray and perhaps he will mend his ways. No. That's not how it works. You're erasing these victims and thinking only of their others. Nobody deserves to be treated poorly. I bit my tongue initially on these posts, but I eventually broke my silence. Thus began the various silencing of my voice. This was not the only topic either; I'd try to speak out on various things I disagreed with. You see, they'll deny it, but they will put you in time out if they feel you've got out of step. I think the amount of points I had saved me a few times. Especially when I decided to simply give up on the site. You see, this back and forth had been going on for months. I'd just be silenced. I'd not get a warning from staff, there was no communication. I'd just have to sit, unable to post for a few days, I believe in the hope that I would "learn my place". That said, contention here came down to the fact that the site has no "Delete Account" button. You have to ask a mod. So I did so. I asked multiple mods. Put in multiple tickets. All asking, as politely as possible, to delete my account. Nothing. I dont know if they wanted me to continue as I once did or something, but all I was ever met with was silence. After a few weeks of this? I took it to the open forums themselves, to force their hand. I posted a thread explaining that I'd like to leave, and the lack of response on mods part. It only lasted a few minutes before being deleted by a mod. So I made another thread stating that if they wanted to play hardball, I'll give them a deadline to delete my account or else I'd start posting offensive & vulgar things. Not right to do by any means, but I'll admit to have become angry at this point. Deleted. Not only that, but they deleted my entire comment history. However, leaving my account intact. They still didn't delete me, for some reason. This lead to a number of days where I was either able to post something vulgar onto someone's thread, or I was put under "your posts will need to be approved by a mod". I was attempting to jostle the mods, but in that, I exposed a number of people to a lot of vile things. People who were not involved and did not deserve that treatment from me; To anyone who knows me for this incident, I apologize. Unless you're WCF staff. Then you deserved so much more. After 3 days, they relented and deleted my account in full. The extra star is purely for the learning experience and the few lovely people on the site whom I had no issue with. I however cannot and do not recommend anyone to join this site. The only fellowship you'll find is either a rod or a chain.
CF does not regard Oneness believers as Christians. As such i was unable to post on ANY forum that was marked as "Christian only". Apparently they are strict adherents to the polytheistic notion of the trinity anyone else who does not agree is not a christian. Absurd.
I have a Serious Mental Illness,.With Generalized Anxiety Disorder and I am also a Christian very much so I'm my heart and soul. I was trying to explain my understanding of how the increases in Social Security Disability are managed under different administrations,.And was met with a lot of push back on my personal understanding of it. I have been deemed disable for almost twenty years now, and have been on Disability for at least ten. I was met with a ban, Without an explanation and offered a type of "blog", but unable to post in the forums ever again. Aside from that I am disabled with a brain disorder, and incapable of managing my own type of blog,.There is specifically a place for people with Mental Illnesses who are also Christians,.to talk to each other and support each other, as Christians with Disabilities and Mental difficulties. I am now deplatformed,.Basically canceled, and silenced, And unable to communicate with any Christians going through disorders such as mine. This would almost be worthy of an American's with Disabilities Act violation, I believe. The worst part of having a Mental Illness, Is people expecting you to not act like you have a Mental illness. Heartbroken. By Christians,.And a Christian place. <\3.
