Christian Pure is responsible for everything published on this site. If something here is wrong, we own it, and you can tell us so.
Our writers aren’t named, for their safety
You won’t find a personal byline on our articles, and that is deliberate. Christians who write publicly about their faith are harassed for it, and in some of the countries our readers live in, a name on an article about conversion or doctrine can put a person in danger. So we publish under one name, Christian Pure, and stand behind the work as its publisher.
Without a name to look up, you need another way to judge what we publish. The rest of this page gives you one: how the work is done, what it rests on, and where to tell us when it falls short.
How an article is made and checked
Our articles are written by lay Christians, readers of Scripture rather than credentialed theologians. We are not a seminary, and we do not want to dress up as one, so we rest each article on sources you can check.
A person writes each article. We use AI tools for research — gathering passages, finding what has been said about a question, checking where a tradition stands — and for ordinary tidying. We do not publish machine-written articles.
Every article is read and approved by a person before it goes live. Each one goes through these steps:
1
A real question. We choose subjects from the questions readers search for.
2
Written to a brief. Each article is written to a brief and style guide for its kind of article, from the passages and sources gathered for the subject.
3
Every quotation checked. Each Bible verse is matched word for word against the translation the article names, each outside source against the exact words we quote, and every link is checked before publishing.
4
A cold read. A separate review reads the finished article without the brief and flags anything unclear or unsupported. We fix what it finds.
5
A pastor on doctrine. Where an article makes a doctrinal claim, a pastor reviews it before it is published.
6
Kept under review. After publishing, we correct what readers and our own checks turn up.
Many older articles, written between July 2024 and April 2026, went through an earlier process with fewer checks. Some carry citations that don’t support the claims beside them, and some lost words in publishing. We are rewriting them one at a time, and every rewrite goes through the steps above.
We write from the faith Christians share
We start from the faith of the Nicene Creed, which Catholic, Orthodox and most Protestant churches hold in common. We treat the saints, Christian art and the church calendar as history that belongs to every tradition. Where the traditions disagree, as on Mary’s place, the pope’s authority or how a person is made right with God, we explain what each one teaches and why.
When we write about another religion, we describe its teaching from its own texts, in terms its followers would recognise. Where we believe it is mistaken, we say so and give our reasons.
We also write about name meanings, numbers and symbolism, where a great deal of confident nonsense circulates. When a name’s origin is uncertain, we say so, and where Scripture is silent, we say it is silent.
Every quotation can be traced
Each article names the Bible translation it quotes, with its other sources, at the foot of the page. We keep a verse only when, read in its own context, it is about the subject. Sources beyond Scripture are listed in full, with links where they exist, so you can read them yourself.
Many older articles carry short citations such as “(Author, year)” with no full reference. We don’t rely on them, and each rewrite replaces them with a source list. Before a paid course quotes a prayer book or a translation, we check that its licence allows it.
Dates show when the words changed
Every article shows the day it was published and, if its text has changed since, the day of that change. Fixing a link or the layout doesn’t move the date; changing the words does.
Prayer pages work differently. Readers come back to them to pray the same prayers, so when we improve one, we add to it and keep every prayer that was there.
Other languages are machine translations
We write in English. The pages in our ten other languages (Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish) are machine translations of the English. Where a translation reads oddly, the English page is the one we stand behind.
When we’re wrong, we correct the page
If you find a misquoted verse, a wrong date or a claim we can’t support, tell us. We’ll check it against the source and correct the article, and when the correction changes what the article says, we’ll note the change on the page. Corrections to what our pages claim are listed in our corrections log.
Recent corrections
September 2026
A reader studying the Holy Spirit couldn’t trace the twelve citations in one of our articles. We traced every one. Several pointed to unrelated work, including a 1926 hymn anthem cited for the history of the word “ghost”. We rewrote the article with 20 full references.
September 2026
An old publishing step had deleted or swapped small words in hundreds of articles, Bible verses among them. We repaired more than 3,000 damaged sentences on the live site.
