    The Open Square

    Is This From God?

    A commons for examination. Not for agreement.

    Truth Allegiance is not exempt from examination.

    The writings collected here are attempts to investigate truth, consciousness, humanity, God, and the world through a Christian foundation.

    But an attempt to discover truth can be wrong.

    A sentence can be misunderstood.

    An idea can outrun its evidence.

    A metaphor can accidentally become theology.

    A conclusion can contradict Scripture without the author realizing it.

    Therefore, this archive is open to examination.

    If something written here contradicts Scripture, Jesus Christ, or the Christian faith, it must not remain simply because it was written here.

    The question is not whether Truth Allegiance can defend itself.

    The question is whether what is written here can withstand examination.

    “Test everything; hold fast what is good.”
    1 Thessalonians 5:21
    “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”
    1 John 4:1

    The Classifications

    🟢Confirmed
    Consistent with Scripture and historic Christian doctrine.
    🟡Clarification Required
    The underlying idea may be compatible with Christianity, but the wording could reasonably communicate something contrary to Christian belief.
    🟠Speculative
    An interesting hypothesis, interpretation, or exploration that cannot properly be presented as established truth.
    🔴Contradiction
    The claim conflicts with Scripture or essential Christian doctrine and must be corrected, rewritten, or removed.
    ⚫Methodological Concern
    The content may not directly contradict Scripture, but the method of producing, presenting, or experiencing it could create an inappropriate spiritual authority or misleading impression.
    ✕Withdrawn
    This statement has been withdrawn from Truth Allegiance after examination determined that it could not be sustained.

    How We Speak Here

    1. 01

      Bring evidence.

      If you believe something contradicts Scripture, show where and explain why.

    2. 02

      Distinguish interpretation from Scripture.

      Do not present personal interpretation as though it were the biblical text itself.

    3. 03

      Do not appeal to private revelation as proof.

      Statements such as “God told me this is true” do not settle an examination.

    4. 04

      Challenge ideas, not people.

      No personal attacks.

    5. 05

      The author can be wrong.

      The purpose is not to protect authorship.

    6. 06

      The commenter can be wrong.

      Being challenged does not automatically make the challenge correct.

    7. 07

      Scripture remains the standard.

      The goal is not consensus.

    Truth does not need protection from examination.

    If something is true, examination should clarify it.

    If something is false, examination should expose it.

    If something is uncertain, examination should reveal the uncertainty.

    We do not want what we want.
    We want what is true.
