The changing focus of online Christian debates

Online Christian discussions have shifted from historic doctrines to political preferences, with less emphasis on theological concepts such as predestination and divine sovereignty. This change has been facilitated by the influence of social media and the internet, which have become the primary platforms for these debates. The internet has transformed from a tool to an ambience, shaping the way we interact with one another and influencing the way we learn and communicate theology. The temptation to perform and present a specific image on social media has also affected the way theological discourse takes place. As social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter face decline, a smaller, more focused internet is emerging with people forming smaller affinity groups and seeking more organic discussions. Reevaluating the impact of digital technology on theology is essential to ensure that our theological beliefs are not solely dependent on the online environment.
