How This Site Works
In our experience, most people who disagree with something found on this site do not understand a) the purpose of Apologetics Index, and/or b) how the site works. If this includes you, please note the following before sharing your disagreement:
What To Do If You Disagree
- Disagreement:
If, after taking into account the above information, you still feel a need to share your disagreement, and you think we are the right people to contact (that is, you have made sure that the material you disagree with is ours, and not something quoted from another source) you're welcome to do so.
However, please note the following:
- Theological Debates / Matters of Opinion.
We do not have much time or energy to engage in theological debates or exchanges on matters of opinion.
- You may want to first read What Not To Do If You Disagree.
- Provide Proper Documentation.
We are always interested in constructive feedback.
What this means:
- If you are merely getting ready to let us know that you disagree with our views regarding, say, Benny Hinn, or
- you only want to let us know that - unlike us - you support, for example, the prosperity teaching,
spare yourself and us the trouble.
We generally do not interact with messages that do not include proper, verifiable documentation. That said, if you have - or know of - an online resource that adequately explains your viewpoint on a certain issue, we'd be happy to hear about it. We may, at our sole discretion, include a link to the suggested resource.
If you refer to offline resources, we may request that you mail us a (photo)copy of the material.
 Document your disagreement
What Not To Do If You Disagree
- Do not flame
Quite simply, we do not respond to flames (unreasonable, angry, or otherwise disrespectful messages).
- Do not threaten
Threats of any kind will be considered harassment, and will be reported to your Internet Service Provider.
- Do not ''spiritualize'' your message
That is, do not offer your views in the form of a ''Thus sayeth the Lord'' message.
We have relationships of mutual accountability with fellow Christians whom we are in fellowship with and know well, and whose discernment we trust. We do not accept ''words,'' ''prophecies,'' and/or ''rebukes'' from people we do not know.
- Do not merely share your opinions
Only properly documented messages are taken seriously.
How To Report A Factual Error
- Corrections:
If you would like to report a factual error, please note the following:
- Check The Source. Make sure that you are addressing original material found on the Apologetics Index web site, and not a) material found on other web sites, or b) material quoted from other sources (including third-party news articles). (How to distinguish quoted items from original material)
We can not correct material found on another web site. You'll need to contact the web site in question. Also, we can not edit material quoted from other sources (but we can, in some circumstances, make note of corrections - which must be properly documented):
- Provide Proper Documentation. What this means: We do not interact with messages that do not include proper, verifiable documentation. You are welcome to refer us to online and/or offline research resources. If you refer to offline resources, we may request that you mail us a (photo)copy of the material.
With those requirements in mind, if you wish to report a factual error, you can contact us here (factual errors only).
