Greetings fellow Steemians.
My name is @majes and I'd like to take this opportunity to re-introduce the Christian Trail and clarify a few changes we have made since Hardfork 19.
The @christian-trail was born on December 25th 2016 as a result of a conversation between myself, @papa-pepper, @nextgen622, and @daveks. I was already running my own curation trail they were following, and @nextgen622 suggested we needed a Christian Trail. Everyone agreed this was a good idea, but this trail would be different; it wouldn't be about curation rewards; just voting on what the curator thought was a good bet for earning rewards. This trail would be about supporting good Christian content and helping to build a Christian Community on Steemit. The @christian-trail was born.. I created the account and I powered it up, we were invited to join in with other trails but I declined that offer, I wanted this trail to stand on it's on. And it does that to this day, not affiliated with any other trail. I also created the @christiantrail account and powered it up, and that account I joined to my own trail and the @christian-trail. In this way it could earn curation rewards to better support the main @christian-trail account. I also added my @idnit curation trail to this trail and it remains there today, as does my main @majes trail. So that's what the @christian-trail is and how it began, I hope it also explains why you will see the @christiantrail account voting with my trail but not the @christian-trail. If you join the Christian-Trail via Streemian you will be following the @christian-trail account.
Hardfork 19 Changes
Due to the changes in voting power after Hardfork 19 we are recommending that everyone re-evaluate the voting power allocated to our trails. I personally have set mine to 20% because the @christian-trail is a minnow and votes at 100%. Also, since we now have a 7 day payout window, please consider raising the Max Post Age to 10080 mins.
In the past I have strived to vote about 10 times per day with this trail, but as the community is growing fast and everyone is lowering their vote weight, I am now going to attempt 20 votes per day. But this trail can't support everyone, we must support one another and use this trail as a resource to help build the community.
As of this posting, Steemit.chat is down; but we do have the #christian-links channel there and everyone is welcome to submit links there. Open conversation is also welcome in that channel. If you are interested in helping curate for this trail please reach out to me directly @majes.
And lastly, I run a backup witness that also follows this trail, please consider voting idnit for witness via the top right dropdown menu witness voting page and help support our efforts. You will need to scroll to the bottom of the page and type in "idnit" as it is not in the top 50 witness list :)Be Blessed.
I can't do anything without God through the Love of Jesus Christ.
Amen...
Blessings @pairmike
I vote at 100% power for Christian content that I agree with. If I don't agree, and if the content is core doctrine eg salvation and to a lesser extent end-times then my vote % may be lower, or I may vote at all.
I intend to support this channel, and other christians channels with 100% of my voting power.
Thank you for creating this trail!
You are most welcome my friend. I try and resteem a lot of the content whether I agree 100% or not. I firmly believe we are all flawed yet equal at the foot of the cross...
Blessings.
I agree:
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)
But we are not all equal at the foot of the cross IMHO (maybe I have misunderstood your intent or taken you out of context - please forgive and correct me if I have)?
Matthew 7 tells us that many people proclaiming and believing themselves to be christians will be rejected by Jesus. We are either saved or unsaved, simple - anything else is semantics and superfluous. God is not going to hear their case when they ask him why he cast them in to hell - he already knows their heart and has made his judgement. I'm a stickler for what the bible tells us about salvation.
Please do not take my comments the wrong way or out of context. I sincerely appreciate what you are doing with this trail and I will support you and pray that it helps many people find salvation - but I won't support false doctrine (and I am not saying that you do). I am merely stating my position. If a post is doctrinally sound I will give it a 100% upvote, if it isn't, I will give it a lesser a upvote, if any at all.
I don't want to get into a doctrinal discussion with you. There is already enough division in Christendom. I'm simply sharing my voting intent.
Galatians 1:6-8
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
If I preach another gospel I will be accursed so this is non-negotiable for me. While the apostles were alive false doctrines and gospels were already spreading. Satan is incredibly cunning. God Bless.
What I mean by "all equal at the foot of the cross" is he knows our hearts and he will judge us all, I will not.
With that said, there has been what appears to me out right blasphemy on Steemit; I will not vote for that no...
But I see it like this, if you gave to a widow woman help because you believed she needed it, then it was found that in fact she was a scam artist who would be at fault you or her ?
We could debate for days and perhaps there is a place for that. But if it isn't bringing anyone to the Lord then what Glory is it for him ?
I am also wondering if you understand the voting adjustment statement in my post. If you aren't following the trail via Streemian it doesn't apply to you :)
Blessings.
God will not judge me, or any other saint.
Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
John 5:24 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
That's great to hear.

No, it seems that I didn't understand the full context of your post. I don't use Streemian. I was commenting on manual posts. But this now raises a serious question - why would a Christian allow a bot to vote for them on Christian doctrine and how does a bot know the difference between true and false doctrine?
I'm glad you are a saint, must me lonely up there...
A bot doesn't vote....
All saved believers are saints, it's not lonely and everyone is welcome.
Please tell me what the purpose of Streemian christian-trail is? I thought that Streemian was created so that people could auto-vote? I've been invited to join many times and everyone person that invited me told me that this was why I should join.
Were they lying to me? If so, please tell me so that I can direct them to this post.
Why are Christians using Streemian other than for the purpose of auto-voting? If It has another purpose please tell me what it is because I don't know any other reason - this is what I have been told.
You wrote this in your post:
Correct me if I'm wrong but that sounds to me like the purpose of @christian-trail is earning rewards?
I just want the truth - please be straight with me. God Bless.
Wow. I'm so happy to see someone like you who not only gets the Gospel but is also passionate about it. I was raised Muslim and can sometimes get really passionate about doctrinal differences like Paul did with people who try to pervert the Gospel and mix or conflate faith with works. God bless you man. I threw you a follow...
I'm so glad that you found Jesus and thank you for the encouraging comment and follow. I've been following you for a little while after I read your content. Keep it up. God bless you brother.
Thanks bro! God bless you too :]
Oh dear, I am brand new and understand nothing about vote weight. I just thought you clicked on the Upvote symbol. What am I missing?
When you reach a higher reputation level (or amount of Steem Power) - I am not sure which. You will then see a slider that allows you to adjust your vote from 1%-100%. If you vote at 100% you have 10 votes per day as it keeps topping itself up. You should be able to find some good articles about it - just click the search button (magnifying glass) at the top of the page and do a search. Try to find more recent articles.
You can check your voting power here https://steemnow.com - enter your username in the top right corner. I hope this helps.
Edit: Just saw this article which will explain a bit more - https://steemit.com/steemit/@calamus056/how-to-improve-your-curation-quality
Thanks! There is so much to learn!
I'll have to check where my percentage is set and potentially readjust it too. I definitely want to support this effort and use my power to encourage others, so I will conitnue to support this trail.
Thanks Papa, the trail has grown considerably and I felt we all should adjust our voting power. It's never been about making anyone rich lol..
Seriously, with no way to check voting power remaining on Steemit I fear some will fall too low if they aren't aware of the changes. For those that don't know, voting power level can be checked on several other sites:
https://steemdb.com
https://steemd.com
https://steemstats.com
etc, etc :)
Right, I was never in this for curation rewards. Thanks @majes!
Also, about how many times per day does the trail vote?
Looks like they vote about 20 times since the hardfork was implemented
I am going to start striving for 20 votes per day with this trail, I'll have to reduce the votes from my own trail but since this community is growing I think it's time...
But, the full effects of HF19 are still unknown so I might have to adjust that as well. I have a few accounts I know follow this trail in steemstats and I try and keep everyone above 70% voting power.
Also, larger accounts such as your own should feel free to adjust as low as needed. A 1% vote from a dolphin should no longer be laughed at lol...
@majes let me know if I can be of any help from myside
I am not too bright to do any kind of computer thing but if you teach me I can also be worth of a help.
Sure, thanks my friend. Will likely set you up as moderator in the chat channel so you can keep out the riff-raff :)
Seriously, I'd like to start having some meeting in that chat channel maybe once a week or so and discuss how things are going and where we might want to go moving forward.
Still adjusting to the new voting rules and just noticed the accounts are getting low on voting power. Soooo.....
thank you keep me posted
I appreciate you informing the #christian and #christian-trail community. I wasn't fully informed in how it functioned, but now feel I have a better grasp of it's functionality.
I'll look into adding some voting power to the Streemian trail.
Thanks for your support..
Blessings.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for setting this up and for the update!
You're welcome :)
Thanks for your support !
God bless you brother for doing this. I have voted for @idnit. I also threw you a follow. Let me know if there's anything I can do! RESTEEMED :]
Thanks my friend, and thank you for bringing good content :)
My pleasure brother! This is just the beginning!! :]
Rejoice Brothers and Sisters, to God be the Glory!
Amen.
Amen.
Wonderful, I'll follow This. God Bless!
Welcome aboard !!
Blessings.
Thank you for always supporting me, I have adjusted my voting power to 20% also.
Blessings :-)
Thank you too :)
Blessings.
I support your changes, upvoted and followed!
Thank you !
Blessings.
I really liked this trail account , following and In the future I'll create some original christian content myself
Excellent !!
Thanks for your support !
Just 3 questions:
My personal beliefs are not really what this trail is about.
Hopefully we can someday have curators to help me choose content to be supported. But since you asked.
I am a Baptist, while I don't personally support anything Catholic I am not going to attempt to sit in judgment of them either. We are all flawed..
If by Chastity you mean refraining from Sex before marriage and extramarital sex then of course..
As for the "new" books, it's pretty obvious to me which one they are all trying to change..
But again, if this was to become a debating floor where equally lost souls fought one another rather than trying to help one another then I would not wish to be involved...
I was trying to get an idea of who Is behind the account . That's all I do believe we are all flawed and in fact it was my own lack of trust in the project that led me to ask those question.
I completely agree with your opinions and I do not wish to debate them
I am with you @majes
This is without doubt.
thanks
You're welcome :-)
Tnx Majes for this post, as you mentioned with the growing christian community here it's good info for us to know per this trail that we post on and the ones behind it. Praise God for you and the other brethren for your efforts as you said it's not about the money but about supporting the comm per the means that the Lord has given us. And He will bless us accordingly..
Will be looking you up in chat later.
Sounds good. We don't have to try and move too quickly with anything, but it is good to know we have support.
Once chat is back up I will be reaching out to you as well, I just have a lot going on as I'm sure everyone does at the moment :)
Thanks my friend :_
Sounds good whenever you're ready to implement new things let me know if it's the Lord's will I'll help.
Hi, I am an evangelist, apologist and youth pastor from Germany and am relatively new here. If there is something else I can do to support good christian content on steemit please let me know.
Welcome to Steemit !!
https://streemian.com is a service that allows accounts to follow the votes of another, we set up accounts for this purpose and call them trails... You could choose to join the trail or just follow the account and support the re-steems we do.
Use it as a way to find other like-minded Steemians :)
Blessings.
Sorry I just don't get what to do there to follow Christian-Trail... :(
I am new here, so you may have to explain to me how I can help your posts and links, I am happy to do anything that I can. So far, I have received a great deal of support for the two posts I have made so far, so I am excited about posting on this site on a daily basis. Please let me know what I can do
Hi Lareina, welcome to Steemit !!
For now just follow this account and help us support the authors that we resteem, follow them too if you like their post.
You can vote for our witness is you like and in time when you are more familiar with how Steemit works you may choose to join the trail...
It takes a little time to find your way around here but it is a great community. We are following you now :)
Blessings.
This is good to know. Thank you for all your work here in supporting the Christian community. God bless!
You're welcome and thank you too :)
Blessings.

gloria a Dios. soy venezolana no sabia que existia un grupo de cristianos, he leido otros post d grupo de. curation que dicen que a temas Cristianos no daran su voto. como me agrego al canal. estos cambios han perjudicado mis calificaciones en mis post ahora menos personas votan por tu trabajo porque se coiben 10. soy nueva en steemit por favor ayudenme
Podrias especificar donde leiste que a temas religiosos no los votarian?
En este momento yo no estoy pudiendo curar post, pero hay muchos proyectos dentro de la comunidad de habla hispana que apoyan a los usuarios y por lo que yo entiendo, si el contenido es original y aporta buen material, no tiene pq ser dejado de lado. Si tu aportas buen contenido, evitando plagio y respetando las fuentes de las imagenes es muy posible que recibas apoyo. Tambien depende de que justo el curador vea tu contenido, por ahi la comunidad de habla hispana esta creciendo muy rapido y no se puede votar todo. Cualquier pregunta, estoy a tu disposicion. Saludos.
Hola, es cierto que la mayoría de los senderos de curaduría no vote por contenido cristiano. Les animo a llegar a @tincho como él está ejecutando el Spanish Trail.
También voy a seguirte y ayuda a su contenido cristiano.
Bendiciones.
gracias amigo ya te sigo.
hola amigo Dios te bendiga pueden apoyar es post de @ismaelugas esta interesante ://steemit.com/christian-trail/@ismaelugas/israel-mas-que-desierto
Thanks my friend!
Thank you @tincho
You are doing good things mi amigo :-)
Blessings..
Thanks Sir for creating this post. I am so blessed to find christian-trail and you @majes. I will continue to support the importance of christian life here in our community. God bless.
You're welcome my friend, thanks for your support !
You're a blessing to this community Sir. Your helping us to earn a descent profit by supporting our faith sharing of God's word here. Let your generosity be recognized upon the throne of God and all of your companions here who develop the christian-trail group. Pardon me for this long words, I am just overwhelm by your utmost love for all God-fearing people.
Sir @majes, just want to share with you a little of hearts desire. here in our church we are planning to do a mission project for our less fortunate co-neighbors in our province. We are targeting those remote and slam areas and wherein we like to do a medical, dental or feeding program for this coming November or December of this year. If case the project will roll on, can ask a little support from our group christian-trail. This is for the benefits of those less fortunate families and our church wants to use it as an avenue to reach out many people for Jesus. Thank you Sir and I am hoping for your consideration.
Thank you :)
Thank you for this. Glad that I found this post. I hope to be able to contribute to this community here, even though I just joined. Have a great day!
Its a blessing thank you for this page very encouraging.
God bless u brother
Thank you... Can i vote ignit or christian-trail? Or both?
I am trying to figure out how to join the christian-trail. I used the hashtag because i saw it being used, but can't figure out the Steemian thing. Is it asking fro my Steemit password? When I try to register it is asking for one. Any help would be most appreciated.
Sorry for the delay on this.
Yes, Streemian needs you active key in order to function. You would go to your wallet and click on permissions, then click on the show private key, second one down "active"
This post explains a little more although the look of Streemian has changed a bit the info is still valid:
https://steemit.com/christianity/@christian-trail/announcing-christian-trail-and-streemian-tutorial
Is it part of Steemit? I was wary about using my private password.
Yes and no, it was created and maintained by one of the developers of steemit but it is just like any of the services that help you sign transactions on the blockchain.
You are not giving out your key you are using it, it never leaves your browser.
This is true for steemit.com as well as the many apps that are being released on the steem blockchain.
When you create an account on one of these services it should be a different password than any of your keys... It's just a tool that allows you to follow the votes of another account.
Thanks so much. That helps a lot
