There is a pervasive, ever-increasing drumbeat of ‘false doctrine’ and outright heresy on this ‘Christian Forum!’ (Atheism, Gnosticism, Universalism, etc.). It often seem like non-Christians and/or Bible-rejecters and detractors are so persistently vocal here, that they sidetrack almost every thread and dominate the forum with their secular nonsense. (They are like the Ephesian mob that was so consumed with shouting about the greatness of Artemis and the goddess Diana, they were beyond hearing God’s truth or sound doctrine – Acts 19:21-41). Sadly, the shocking arrogance and ridicule of these self-proclaimed ‘liberal thinkers’ likely distracts some God-seekers from recognizing the empty human philosophies and lack of sound doctrine in their persistent shouts.

Christianity asserts that there is one source of Truth and that is the Bible, the inspired, inerrant Word of the living God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice (John 17:17;2 Timothy 3:15-17;Hebrews 4:12). It is God’s written revelation to mankind and is never superseded by man’s thoughts, ideas, writings, or visions. Nor did God reveal His plan and ways, so that arrogant men could approve the parts they like …and renounce the rest. The early Bereans, like the faithful today, “were more noble than ‘others’ in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11). Christ Himself also consistently and repeatedly referenced and affirmed the Scriptures throughout His earthly ministry.

My question is: Do enough faithful Christians (or at least true seekers) remain on this ‘Christian Forum’, to make continuing to lift-up the truth here worthwhile?’ … Or has this Forum become so overwhelmed by a large mob of shouters, that very few remain who are still willing to endure (or even hear) sound Bible doctrine? If the latter is the case, it is probably time for me (as have many other committed, Christ-seeking, Bible-believing Christians before me) … to move on.

The forum is to "discuss" Christianity.

It's not designed as an echo chamber for your particular version of it.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

So "faithful Christians" according to you, don't believe the Bible? If "faithful Christians" were like the Bereans, they would search the scriptures to see we (who believe God that He will save all mankind) have it correct.

If you don't believe God concerning this then you are the very Bible rejecter you claim others to be.

Christian forums always seem to attract atheists, people who want to mock or insult Christianity and Jesus. I can't understand it. I feel no desire to go on atheist forums and mock their belief. But hey, why must they not write on Christian forums? No church would close their doors to them either. What they write never offends me.

People who are worried about their faith might object to discussion of it.

First, many believe they are True Christians even though their theology may differ from yours and of course some of your doctrine may be false. Posting verse and facts of language etc is a way to help others see what is true. What they do with that info is up to them.
