Christian Safe Spaces Online?
The Local Church where you have membership is the closest safe space you will find for a believer.
There are few safe spaces for Christians on social media and related places online.
With the proliferation of unsaved people [cult members, catholics, orthodox, and others who follow false teachings and idolatry, (as well as people who are false converts, unsaved church goers, or generally in false churches)], online, you will not find these places are any go to trustworthy place to find friends, get answers, ask questions or even learn useful things pertaining to Scripture or evangelism.
The place where you can find solid answers & guidance is going to be at your local biblical church, from your Sunday School teachers, deacons, and Pastor, and perhaps also from a liscensed biblical counselor in the congregation as well. Beyond that you can find answers at these(1) reputable places.
You would have to have a very solid grasp on Scripture and Christian doctrines and beliefs (from the Bible) as well as mature maturity in the faith and have good discernment to wade through anything a supposed Christian, Christian group or forum online advises/comments to anything posted there or given in response to anything you ask. And if you were that far along in your faith then you wouldnt be asking the kinds of questions new or weak believers do that cause them to be subtly duped and decieved by false info online.
This is why the two main places you need to get biblical truthful answers & guidance must come from a solid bible following local Church & limited reputable ministries. Those should really be the only places you seek help from, outside Scripture.
There is far too much error, heresy, false advice, opinions and beliefs on the internet, including at ticktok & youtube. The average believer is not to seek help in those places; deception is very rampant there.
A few, very few, places you might be able to get answers to consider and vet alongside Scripture examination might be a Reformed Baptist group on facebook and maybe a SBC group, but you will need to be careful of any books or resources suggested even there, since wishy washy people and new believers are in those groups, as well as unbiblical ones to. But you are a bit more likely to get a biblically guided recommendation/advice there than in any other so called " Christian" places on that platform and others.
The internet is the wild west of false information. Deception and doctrines of demons are everywhere there.
Keep this in mind for yourself, your family, and educate your kids on this too if they have any internet access.
