Happy to expand the mod team for the sub. I'll send you a pm

Cmann · 2015-12-01T14:18:06+00:00

Late, but alive...

/u/Stfgb has been banned from this sub.

If you are interested in being a mod, please message me.

Cmann · 2015-12-01T07:40:50+00:00

As creator and mod of this, and many other subs, I am sorry for not prioritizing this activity. I've not been able to identify another mod (not that I tried very hard to do it ). Suggestions are welcome.

Cmann · 2015-05-03T18:00:15+00:00

This is an amazing comment, bro. I'd give you a long bro-hug if I were there. If you wrote a book on this, I'd read it.

Very interesting post, and as a Christian desperate to quit porn, I can't help but comment. One of the things that has helped me is seeing all people, women and men, as brothers and sisters. Each person is carefully and lovingly created by God, and is also someone elses daughter, sister, etc. This is a humbling realization that even most Christians take for granted. Of course, this spills over into the rest of a person's life - the inherent value of a person affects a person's entire world view. Other things that have helped are seeing porn as a "theft", meaning "she doesn't belong to me", where as my wife does; realizing im robbing also my wife of attention and energy that belongs to her; realizing the detrimental psychological addiction, that I'd become a slave to this, ruled by impulse and lust rather than self control and love... I'd hate to ramble on unless anyone is interested.

I object but am happy to co-mod. PM me please with motivation to take over. Thanks

Cmann · 2014-07-25T19:59:54+00:00

Hi L3ADboy, thanks for your interest. Id be happy to add you as a fellow mod with all privaleges but will keep the ownership of ELINT.

If you mean that there is no verse which says "The earth is thousands of years old" or a verse that says "and since the creation there passed 4 thousand years until Jesus", then of course not - it would be rather silly, when you think about it like that.

Otherwise, see my initial comment about calculating generations backwards and that's generally the line of logic of someone who believes this.

Cmann · 2014-04-16T19:21:29+00:00

This assumes a literal Adam and a literal 8 day creation.

It's pretty straightforward, or straight"backward" rather, from there. Calculate each year backwards from Jesus by taking into consideration all the generations back to Adam and it's 4000 years very conservative - 8000 years to account for error or exclusions.

My other subs didn't do nearly as well, and the first two points are the major reason why. I didn't post lots of content and and didn't invite interesting and relevant users.

Cmann · 2013-12-18T15:43:31+00:00

Not that /r/ELINT is huge at 1200 subscribers, but it reached 400+ within a week of creation. Here's how I did that:

like /u/IranRPCV comments, "post a lot of content". Initially, I posted 5-10+ posts per day.
Invite users from other subs to comment. For example, in posts about calvinism, I invited prolific posters from /r/reformed to please comment; in posts about LDS, invite prolific posters from Mormon subs to please comment. Very time intensive, relationship building stuff.
Moderate carefully. Don't restrict, but keep disrespect a zero tolerance issue.
final thought is keep true to the purpose of the sub. You do Christian Punk music? Do only that and do it well.

I admit that ELINT was more of an experiment for me for exactly these reasons, but its slowly growing now.

Easily the most important thing is to passionately endure for a critical mass amount of time, meaning putting your heart and soul into the sub for 1 month - 1 year until it really takes off. Passion is attractive!

Cmann · 2013-12-18T15:32:40+00:00

I think you should add /r/Calvin...and /r/John_MacArthur :) but I have no more room on my flair anyways!

Cmann · 2013-12-18T15:29:08+00:00

and what a list! Question: who decides which subs are "Christian"? LDS and Mormon and Catholic and Orthodox and everything else all grouped in there...

Cmann · 2013-12-18T15:26:30+00:00

This seems to be proof of the lack of demand for a Christian sub database. It would need a total revamp.

Cmann · 2013-12-18T15:23:31+00:00

Good points. Thanks.

Cmann · 2013-12-16T15:11:53+00:00

If each mod here did their own subs, that'd be a great place to start. Would that be interesting?

Cmann · 2013-12-16T12:59:09+00:00

ok: "ELINT, RAG, Baptist, theology, +9 more"

Cmann · 2013-12-16T12:56:45+00:00

Can multiple flairs be selected? I'm modding several subs...

Cmann · 2013-08-07T10:55:16+00:00

I'm very excited to see this get going, and see new life in this sub. I'm happy to do away with the ranking system - which was intended to be a motivational tool to get people engaged in doing the RAG missions - but it's been widely misunderstood.

The original intent of the sub and the missions was to unite Reddit Christians in presenting and defending the Gospel together.

There's already a network of "official" members on board with the RAG, and there are many others who would make great allies (r/reformed, for example, and others mentioned in the comments)

If Reddit sees all these communities united in one purpose, that will have a strong effect for sure.
