Community-Powered Biblical Truth Discovery

📖 About Our Translations

ScripTopics does NOT use traditional translations. All scripture references link to LIT (Literal Interlinear Translation) — word-for-word Ancient Judean translations for truth's sake. We believe in presenting the original meaning without interpretation bias.

What is ScripTopics?

ScripTopics is a community-driven platform where believers create, share, and test biblical topics using scripture. Unlike social media driven by algorithms, ScripTopics is powered by real people seeking truth through the Word.

Topics are STATEMENTS, not questions. Each topic is supported by verses and commentary, then tested by the community through voting and challenges.

"In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." — Deuteronomy 19:15

This verse is our foundation: at least 2 out of 3 must agree (66%) for a topic to be established as truth.

Topic Status Icons

Every topic has a status based on community agreement:

Fresh (Truth)

A topic that has never been challenged. Strong from the start — the community agrees. 66%+ agree

🏆

Victor (Proven Truth)

A topic that WAS challenged but won the battle. Battle-tested and proven by scripture. 66%+ agree after challenge

⚔️

Fence (Debated)

A topic being weighed by the community. Not yet proven or disproven — needs more witnesses! 50-65% agree

🗡️

Fallacy (Failed)

A topic that failed to argue successfully. Scripture did not support this claim. 30-49% agree

☠️

Dead (Heavily Disproven)

A topic thoroughly refuted by scripture. Kept visible as a lesson. Below 30% agree

How Topics Move

Topics flow based on community votes:

✅ Fresh ⚔️ Fence
🏆 Victor 🗡️ Fallacy
☠️ Dead

Note: A topic can NEVER go back to ✅ Fresh once challenged. But ☠️ Dead topics can be redeemed through new challenges!

⚔️ The Challenge System

Challenges keep the community sharp. When you see a weak argument, you can challenge it with scripture — not opinions.

Commentary Challenges

See a commentary that misses the mark? Press [⚔️ Challenge] to post a counter-argument. The author gets notified and can respond. Address the ARGUMENT, not the person.

Topic Challenges (Opposing Topics)

Believe an entire topic is wrong? Create an Opposing Topic with your own verses and commentary. The two topics become linked — the community can compare and vote on both.

⚠️ Ad Hominem Protection
Attacking the person instead of their argument is a logical fallacy. If someone attacks YOU instead of your ARGUMENT, only you (the accused) can flag it as "Ad Hominem." This protects honest debate and exposes weak arguments.

❓ Questions

Questions are different from Topics. Anyone can ask a question, and the community answers by creating Topics linked to that question.

Questions are permanent — they never close. Future users can find questions and see all the topics that address them. This is how humans (not algorithms) build a knowledge base.

Questions have "Thoughts" — quick comments on the question itself. Topics have "Commentary" — deeper analysis of specific verses.
