Welcome to Christian HQ! We are a loving community and one of the largest Christian studios on Scratch. We believe that God sent down His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to take the punishment for our sins by dying for you and me. But that's not where the story ends! We believe that He resurrected, defeated death, and is alive in Heaven right now, watching over us. And if you believe in Him, you can also have eternal life with Him! We look forward to the future when Jesus will come back and save the world from sin and suffering forever. [updated gospel message, formatted by past, present, and future] Safe place <3 -Rules- [section heading name pending] [moved some things up here] ➳ We believe that members of a studio centered around Christianity should be Christian. Therefore, we only allow Christians to be curators. If you're not Christian, you can still hang around! [maybe delete first sentence?] ➳ All denominations of Christians are welcome here! Remember to be respectful to people of other denominations, because we are all united in Christ. ➳ If you want to be a curator, just ask! Note that your Scratch account has to be over two weeks old before you are added, unless it's an alt account. [maybe add reasoning] [added curator part] ➳ Conversations about LGBTQ+ and abortion aren’t allowed here, because they tend to spark very heated debates and may lead to this studio's removal. If you’ve got specific questions, feel free to ask one of the active managers! [moved higher for visiblity] ➳ Feel free to ask questions if you are curious. However, debates aren't allowed on this studio. Always be respectful and loving as Christ was. If you want to debate, go here: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/33716878/ [reworded] ➳ Please remember that only projects related to Christianity should be added, and anything not related will be removed. QUESTION OF THE WEEK [QOTW, may get rid of it?] MANAGER PROMOTION ➳ Applications are currently [status]. ➳ If you want to be a manager, fill out this form by remixing it: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1119056162 The current managers will then review your application and upvote or downvote it. You must receive 6 net votes in order to become a manager. ➳ Requirements are on the project, but the most important ones are that are that you are active and recognizable to other members of CHQ and that you've been curating for at least 3 months. [tidied it up+updated] MANAGER DEMOTION ➳ We take managing pretty seriously, so if you aren't active, you could be demoted. ➳ Demotion rules: [unfinished right now] ➳ ᴠᴇʀsᴇs ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ʏᴇᴀʀ: [verses of the year] [hey if this section heading has this cool font then we should probably standardize it] - Managers - (Host) ["managers" instead of administrators, @ to be clickable] [add former manager section here?] FAQs: (these answers are only overviews. There are plenty of answers from expert scholars, pastors, and theologians if you want to go into more depth on any of these questions!) [added some Q's, changed some wording] ➳ Q: How do we know God exists, or that the Bible isn't just a book of fairy tales? ➳ A: There is no definitive proof of Christianity that will convince everybody; that's why it requires faith to be saved, and that's why not everyone is a Christian. However, there are some good arguments for God's existence and for the Bible's reliability and truth, and you can find many of them online. ➳ Q: If there was God, why would He allow evil and suffering? ➳ A: Humans cause evil because of our sin. Creation was corrupted by our sin, which is why Jesus came down to cleanse it and redeem it. ➳ Q: How about earthquakes and all sorts of stuff that is inevitable? Those aren't caused by humans. ➳ A: God may have a greater purpose for evil. As Gensis 50:20 says, what we think is useless suffering could be used by God to bring about greater good in ways we can't see. ➳ Q: If human sin caused evil, then why doesn't God just stop us from sinning? ➳ A: God created us with free will to set us apart from His other creations. He wants us to be able to choose to love and follow him, rather that being forced to do it, like a robot. ➳ Q: Why doesn't God save everyone? Why does He torture people in Hell? ➳ A: Everyone sins of their own choice, and thus everyone deserves punishment. It's our fault. God doesn't torture people, everyone who is in Hell is there on their own will. [this Q might be too metal lol] Spanish: [Spanish translation of something, perhaps the first paragraph? if description is too long, then idk] German: [German translation] [Maybe other languages] Thumbnail by [until we decide to change it. or we don't lol] Last updated [whenever we update it last]
This studio is for Christian HQ managers to talk and discuss things so that we can be on the same page. [fix grammar and stuff] A few things right now: 1. Manager promotion 2. Manager limit [just thought of some current events] And in general: 1. Problems in the main studio 2. Ideas for Question of the Week and Verses of the Year 3. And for recordkeeping, a list of people whose accounts aren't two weeks old yet [just thought of some more things] There will be changes to the topics as things pop up. As we decide things, the host will add them to the description so we are on the same page. CURATORS: When someone wants to join, ask that person if he/she is a Christian. If it's clear on his/her profile, it's alright to invite. If you are unsure, it's never wrong not to ask. The person's account must be at least two weeks old (unless it's the alt of a curator). Then you can add him/her. Note that if the asker self-identifies as a Christian, you should add him/her, no matter the denomination. Look out for trolls, though. [added the last paragraph and reworded] MANAGER PROMOTIONS: CURRENTLY [status] Manager cap is 15 [active or in general?] managers, [including or excluding?] the host. First step for a curator is to fill out the manager application questions: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1119056162 If someone wants to be promoted, and by your judgment he/she is doctrinally solid, active, and fit for leadership, then direct them to the questions. Once he/she fills the application, discuss it with other managers, with the applicant, and with yourself about whether he/she is the right fit. Make it a top priority for studio activity and Biblical worldview. By your judgment, you can choose to upvote or downvote the application if you like. If a curator receives SIX or more net votes, he/she can be promoted. [updated to current system] CURRENT MANAGERS: @crossbearer (Host) @Mathboss12 @superherosusan @Jets-fan-2187 @-Expo @help_the_animals @BobsBehindTheOrange @Lapis_Accipiter @-Officer_Kevin- @gboo25 @octopiiswrong @Larrikin777 @Beves_TV [same @ thing as before] FORMER MANAGERS (since 2025): @Bandit_MVR_2023 @Jonathan50 @nkooson123 @bunnypinkie @amethyst_queen @barythelion @S-T-A-R_W-A-R-S [perhaps add host rotation list here/before the former managers? or the line of sucession or whatever it's called] Main studio: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/353712/ [could move to top of description] [maybe a last updated here as well?] [PS if you can change the name of the studio then I'd remove the hyphen]
