How valuable is online fellowship?

Please dont tell me online fellowship is not real fellowship. Online fellowship is all i have. Instead of tearing down online fellowship, edify me so i can be filled with love and good things. That way i can love my neighbors and enemies. See this as an opportunity to equip me for this world. Amen?

Online AND offline , visible AND invisible, local AND far off,
fellowship
with other true believers is real fellowship, every day, all the time.

This is our goal, wherever we go, and at home, on the phone and on the computer and in our front yard = real, true fellowship,
always
with GOD first, in JESUS, and then likewise in JESUS with others who are in JESUS.-- THE BODY as GOD makes it and fits us jointly together his way, every day.

We should take every opportunity to edify each other. We should not dismiss online fellowship, but rather use it to edify each other. Heck, we might find that we get more edification online than we do in Church.

I find many opportunities to love others online.

I don't! Typing content on an iPad or PC and interacting with others in cyberspace do not represent true Christian fellowship in my understanding of it.

How can we have personal conversations, eat and drink together, as we discuss the things of God.

Perhaps I don't know what fellowship means, but I don't find it on any forum online. I could fake it as fellowship but it would not be real to me.

The only problem with CF being our main source of socialising, is that small issues can be blown out of proportion. I try to remind myself that I am not here to please others or boost my popularity.I'm here to learn more about God, to enjoy the moment and stay in touch with others' perspective.

oh its not my only form of fellowship,I go to bible study and etc throughout the week

I experience God's love and peace through my relationship with fellow believers in the body of Christ that meets as my local church.

How is it possible to experience God's love and peace on a Christian forum when there is so much bickering among us?
