Terms of Service | Scripture & Truth

Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Scripture & Truth ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use constitutes acceptance of any changes.

Important Notice: Purpose & Content Statement

Scripture & Truth is a Christian apologetics and educational platform. Our mission is to equip believers with scholarly tools to understand, defend, and articulate the Christian faith.

The content on this platform represents academic research, theological analysis, and comparative religion scholarship. We examine the claims of various religious traditions (including Islam, Mormonism/LDS, Jehovah's Witnesses, and secular skepticism) in light of historical evidence, textual criticism, and Christian theology.

This content is not intended as hate speech toward any religious group or their adherents. We respect the dignity of all people regardless of their beliefs. Our goal is truth-seeking dialogue, not personal attacks. We critique ideas and claims, not people.

Users are encouraged to engage with the material thoughtfully, verify sources independently, and approach interfaith discussions with grace and respect. "Speaking the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15) is our standard.

You agree to use Scripture & Truth only for lawful purposes. You may not:

Use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm others

Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems
Scrape or harvest data without permission
Use the Service in any way that violates applicable laws
Misrepresent your identity or affiliation
Interfere with the proper functioning of the Service

Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content (excluding user-generated content and public domain texts) are the property of Scripture & Truth and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Scripture texts included in the Service (KJV, WEB, etc.) are in the public domain or used under license. Other religious texts are presented for educational and comparative purposes under fair use principles.

We do not warrant that:

The Service will be uninterrupted or error-free
All information is completely accurate (though we strive for accuracy)
The Service will meet all your requirements

Theological content represents our best understanding based on scholarly research, but users should study Scripture themselves and consult qualified teachers.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Scripture & Truth and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service.

Minor errors may exist despite our best efforts
Interpretations may differ from other scholars
New research may update previously stated conclusions

If you find an error, please contact us so we can correct it.

Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites (such as academic resources, primary source archives, or recommended books). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these external sites. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of all content on that site.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in courts of competent jurisdiction.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or for any other reason at our sole discretion.
