I am a volunteer at a non-profit Christian bible study group called "biblestudyforall.org"

We opened up an instagram account and started posting verse illustrations as a way to reach out to other believers and encourage people with the Word. But when we tried to link our website to the Instagram profile, we were told that the website contains unapproved material and blocked our instagram account. Same thing happened when we tried to open a Facebook page for our website.

You guys can take a look for yourself if our website contains any "inappropriate" material. We offer Bible study to anyone who desires it -- free of cost and for different types of believers. I don't understand how Facebook and Instagram can stand to do this with no justification and then give us zero response over phone, message, and email.

This is discrimination at its best. This is outrageous that those who are trying to use the internet in a legal, non-harmful way are still being discriminated against. The devil has really captured this evil world...

That is outrageous to say the least and the devil is active on Facebook and Instagram..... just try to post something demonic and it probably will go through, but post anything Christian, and you get flagged for being inappropriate.... that is why we have to resort to sites like this one.

I am so sorry for this. Google, Facebook, and Instagram cause me headache after headache trying to spread the gospel. Its not easy when every bad thing people say rises to the top of Google or they delist your sermons.

Know that you are not alone and God sees your love for Him. Hang in there, eventually you will make it.

The website looks fantastic to me. Nice job!

I'm not a user of Instagram or Facebook - aren't there other Christians using these platforms for this purpose? I'm just wondering if there is some technical security issue problem with your link and it's not the content that is causing the problem.
