Remnant of Promise
Effective Date: May 7, 2026
Last Updated: May 7, 2026
These Guidelines describe how this community lives together. They sit alongside the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, and the Acceptable Use Policy — those documents handle the legal frame; this one handles the heart of it.
A note up front about what kind of community this is, because the posture shapes everything below.
This is a community for adults walking out of inherited religious systems and learning to read the scriptures with the pulpit’s distortion off the text. Some who arrive here are coming from institutional Christianity. Some from Yahudi (Jewish) backgrounds. Some from Hebrew Roots, Messianic, or Torah-observant assemblies. Some from Islam. Some from no religious background at all. The systems each of us came out of taught us things that are now being undone. We are all somewhere on that road, and no one here has finished the journey.
That fact governs the tone: patient with people, sharp with systems. We dismantle the lies that were handed to us; we love the people who were handed them. The grandmother who hung the cross loved Yahuah (God). The system that gave her the cross is a different matter. We can tell the truth about the system without turning the conversation into condemnation of the people standing under it.
If you remember nothing else about how to behave here, remember that sentence.
This community is for adults — eighteen years of age or older — who are pursuing the truth of scripture, the restoration of the scattered seed, and a walk that aligns with what the Father actually said.
You are welcome here whether you are:
You are not welcome here if you arrived to argue, recruit for an outside group, or harm the people who are working through their journey.
Our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit (Jeremiah 16:19). This verse is the confession the awakening makes — and it applies to every one of us, not just the people in the system we just left. No one in this community is the elite. No one has nothing left to learn. The Spirit opened our eyes; the same Spirit is still teaching us. There is nothing here to boast in except the grace that drew us home.
The four large religious systems that claim to carry the covenant — institutional Christianity, mainstream Yahudi (Jewish) tradition, Hebrew Roots / Messianic, and Islam — each carry inherited error. The error is real, and it gets named directly here. But the people inside those systems are not the enemy. They were handed what they were handed, in good faith, by sincere teachers who were handed it themselves. When you talk about a system you came out of, name what was wrong with the teaching. Do not turn it into a takedown of the people who are still inside.
Someone in this community will be a step or two behind you on something you have already worked through. Someone will be three steps ahead of you on something you are still wrestling with. Speak to the person behind you the way you wish someone had spoken to you when you were where they are. Speak to the person ahead of you with the same humility.
“I see it now and they don’t” is not a posture this community holds. The Father did the seeing. We received it. What hast thou that thou didst not receive? (1 Corinthians 4:7). Carry what you have learned with gratitude, not with a banner.
Forums and threads exist for specific conversations. If a thread is about Galatians, do not detour it into a fight over the calendar. If you want to talk about something else, start a new thread.
When you respond to another member, respond to what they wrote — not to the worst version of it you can imagine. Quote them when needed. If their meaning is unclear, ask. He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him (Proverbs 18:13).
This is a community that returns to the Word. When you make a claim, ground it in scripture — chapter and verse where you can. “Some teacher said” is not the same as “the prophet said.” The teachers can be wrong. The Word does not lie.
“Sunday-keeping is a substitution the horn introduced (Daniel 7:25)” is a discussion of a system. “You are too stupid to read your Bible” is an attack on a person. The first is welcome here. The second is not.
You can disagree with another member’s reading of a passage and say so plainly. You cannot insult them, mock them, name-call them, or follow them around the forum looking for fights. If a disagreement gets heated, slow down — walk away if you need to — and come back when you can talk like family.
This community does not prescribe to other members what their walk has to look like in detail. We dismantle lies and point each other to the Word. We do not appoint ourselves over each other’s calendars, kitchens, marriages, or schedules. Each member walks under the Father’s instruction, with brothers and sisters around them — not under another member’s authority. One is your Master, even Messiah (Christ); and all ye are brethren (Matthew 23:8).
When you cite a verse, cite it accurately. Don’t crop it to make it say something the surrounding context does not say. Don’t smash three verses from three contexts into one assertion and pretend it is a single argument. The Word stands on its own; when we handle it, we handle it the way we would want it handled.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of Yahuah (God) (1 John 4:1). Apply that here. Test every teaching, including teachings that come from members in this community, including teachings that come from us. The standard is the Word. If something does not align with the Word, do not adopt it because it was posted in a forum where you trust the people. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
Private messages are not a loophole. The same posture applies in DMs that applies in the forum. Don’t say things to a member privately that you would be ashamed to have repeated to the community.
A few specifics:
Your profile is yours. A few standards:
The library exists for studies, scriptures, teaching files, and pinned communications from Remnant of Promise. A few rules for member-uploaded content (where permitted):
The following are grounds for warning, suspension, or permanent removal from the community. The Acceptable Use Policy lists these in formal terms; here they are in plain English:
We extend warnings before removal where the situation allows it. Some violations — anything involving minors, credible threats, or organized harassment — will result in immediate removal without warning.
If you see or experience something that violates these Guidelines, report it. Use the in-site reporting tools where available, or email info@remnantofpromise.org. Include enough information that we can find what you are referring to (a link, a screenshot, the username, the time).
We will look at every report. We will not act on every report — sometimes a thing that looks bad in isolation has a context we already know about, or vice versa — but we will look at every one. We will not share the identity of a reporter with the person reported except where it is unavoidable (for example, if the report is the only basis for action and the accused has a right to respond to it, we may need to indicate the substance of the report; we will protect the reporter’s identity to the extent possible).
We aim to be slow to remove, slow to ban, and quick to talk to people. Most disagreements get resolved by a moderator stepping into a thread and asking everyone to slow down. Bans are reserved for what genuinely warrants them.
If a moderator removes a post or warns you and you disagree, email us. Do not start a meta-thread in the forum re-litigating the moderation decision in public. We will read your appeal in good faith. We will not always change the decision, but we will explain it.
If your account has been suspended, your appeal goes to the same email address. You will get a response.
This community exists because the lies our fathers inherited are coming undone, and the people whose eyes are opening need a place to talk through it that is not a marketing funnel, not a commercial platform, not a confessional booth, and not a war zone.
We will not always get the moderation right. We will not always get the doctrine right. We are all still learning. The standard is not us — the standard is the Word, and we hold the door open for anyone who wants to walk through it together with us under that standard.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! (Psalm 133:1).
That is what we are aiming for. Help us aim there with you.
— Remnant of Promise
