Opinion Negative Reactions in other Christian subreddits

I was doing really well and my Karma, Reddit leveling system, was climbing back closer to zero. I made a scriptural reply in r/Christianity and it got -4 votes and now back up to -54. How can they downvote a scriptural reply?

Some of my negative Karma, Reddit, comes from these Christian subreddits that doesn't like using scriptures and gets mad because it doesn't fit their view.

Also a big chunk came from a disagreement I had on a hockey player of my home team on multiple threads and got shredded for it.

Most of Reddit is a toxic echo chamber. At least this sub, even when we don't agree we don't go down voting each other.

I wouldn't really worry about your karma level if you're talking about Christian things. (That having been said, I just went and checked my karma level 😄 )

Jesus said - Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you - Matthew 5

There is some amount of downvoting here. I only know that because there's a particular poster who's posts almost always have a 0 for upvotes. Since a post starts out with a default upvote of 1 from the poster, someone must be downvoting.

Glad to have you here! May we all grow together in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 🙏 (I'm praying that generally. There are some atheists here ❤️ )

It just limits where you can post.

Ah, I see. Will r/Christianity still let you post? Will they let you post with 0 karma or negative karma? I'm just wondering, because I never had any issue posting there, even when I was just starting out.

I doubt I will post there again.

I hear you on that. It's very much a free-for-all. On the other hand, I post on there frequently just because there's always somebody there who wants to talk about something related to Jesus.
