Find Support From The Web With Theology Forums

By Claudette Lambert


When we say the word religion, most of the people conjure up images of big churches where hymns are being sung and confessions are being given. Or for some it is about reading the bible daily and saying your prayers. But there are some people out there for whom religion is about finding comfort in the teachings of our Lord. And these people have discovered technology to stay connected with theology forums.

This is not a group of fanatics who have got together to raise more like them and create havoc in the world. Instead, these are people who want to learn more about their religion and their culture. Topics are posted on the websites and every member who wants to give his or her opinion or thought can post it there. There are no restrictions, unless someone uses abusive language, and it is a healthy give and take of interest.

Every religion has its group of researchers and so such groups too can be found for different religions. It is means by which like minded people can connect with each other, without any barriers or borders or nationalities and be able to talk to each other. The main purpose of these discussion sites is to encourage its members to understand the concepts and philosophies rather than blindly following traditions and rituals.

There are no restrictions as to who can be a member. No one is prohibited from participating, the only condition being that the person should have a genuine seeking spirit. Groups take measures to ensure that no religion is criticized or humiliated or unethical words said about traditions of any religion. Knowledge is the base of such groups and abusive languages are not tolerated.

They also provide support to each other. When you have been a member of a forum for some amount of time, you develop a bond with your fellow members. You turn to them for advice and guidance, and the same thing happens in such forums as well. People help each other out by guiding them or explaining correct actions based on the scriptures.

Most of the times, the discussion on these websites are about a part of a Holy Book like maybe a story or a parable. They start out by talking about it and then discuss its significance. They then go on to talk to each other about the moral of the story and what we are supposed to learn from this. In this manner it becomes easier for people to understand what it is the correct way of life.

These discussion sites are excellent resources of research and for cultivating a positive image in the minds of people. It also helps curb incorrect deductions and promoting healthy study. These websites are even formed by college students who have an inquisitive mind and want to learn about religion. When you just have one person talking, or giving a sermon, you cannot be sure what people understood and which part of the sermon they are taking back with them.

Such theology forums are created by students, working people and even retired people. All the members on the various websites agree that participating in discussions about various topics is a very enriching experience and its gives them a sense of fulfillment.
