The Four Deuces (talk) 06:10, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All the ANIs, WQA, CUs, RFC/Us and RFARs are over, I trust. I sincerely thank you for voicing your position on the RFC/U on me. I did not canvass anyone, and in order to avoid any claims that I canvassd, I waited until now (the request to reopen the RFC/U seems dead). Again, many thanks! Collect (talk) 12:35, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove this again. See also only leads readers to other articles that may interest them that are not dealt with in the article. A quick google search or Heresy and Emerging Church will provide numerous sources if you would like them added to the article. I felt this would be the best way to deal with the nettle, rather than firmly seize it with both hands. It is your call.--Die4Dixie (talk) 18:58, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have again removed the Heresy tag from the Emerging Church article. There is no warrant to add it as a category. EVERY religious movement within Christianity can be classified 'heresy' by another movement. Just because Google searches can link the two (particularly since most of the sources are Reformed blogs) is no justification. The onus of proof is on you to demonstrate why it should be added.

By definition, "heresy" is based on the degree (or lack) of orthodoxy of a particular belief. The emerging church is a broad category that encompasses a number of beliefs (on which there is no agreed 'set'). Now - if you want to choose a specific belief and tag it as heresy (with ample documentation), feel free to go to the page for that specific belief (ex: antinomianism) and tag it as such. However, tagging a particular movement as heresy is contrary to the definition of the word, and - without ample documentation - inflammatory.

Please do not add this back until consensus is reached on the talk page of the article.--Lyonscc (talk) 22:05, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have misunderstood the see also category. It is not a tag. It does not suggest that the subject "church" is heretical, but does lead interested readers to a subject that is tangently related but not expounded upon in the article, which is, of course, the purpose of the see also listings. Please take a minute and consider reverting yourself.--Die4Dixie (talk) 22:09, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've reconsidered, and there is still no justification for reverting myself. You've provided no justification for the "relatedness" of Heresy. Its inclusion is basically a back-door route of

original research. Again, you might as well tag the pages of every Christian movement as heresy, because it is rather certain that someone with a blog considers it as such. Please make your case on the talk page for the community that edits this particular page.--Lyonscc (talk) 22:13, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply

]

You consider quicly, with enough time also to post to two pages. You have repeatedly mistaken category tagging with see also.--Die4Dixie (talk) 22:16, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cut/Paste/Edit works fairly quickly. In this particular case, the inclusion of a category tag is little different than "see also" - they both imply the same thing. Tell you what - go to the

Calvinism page and try tagging it with "See also: Heresy". I'm certain you could find sources for the claim (and Calvinism is a set of doctrines - much closer to something that could be more logically heretical than a movement across multiple denominations). Once you're successful arguing its inclusion there, please return to this article with the same justification and the community here would more likely be receptive to such a change.--Lyonscc (talk) 22:22, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply

]

Please see th etalk page to see the "relatedness". Does your private "community"

WP:OWN the article, or am I missing something. I am not dealing with Calvinism now, but rather the " Emerging "church"".--Die4Dixie (talk) 22:29, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply

]

I would not consider the group of authors that tend to edit this page (of which I am very infrequent editor) to "Own" it, but when a first-time editor adds information that has been discussed to some degree in the past, with no discussion, and then becomes belligerent when asked for justification and to wait for additional opinions, it is not an issue of 'ownership', but simply one of good editorship and prevention of POV-pushing.--Lyonscc (talk) 22:35, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where the belligerence? From your end, no doubt. Trying to send me to another page was uncivil. The IDIDNTHEAR that argument is pretty lame. I showed you the relatedness that you asked for.--Die4Dixie (talk) 22:37, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no IDIDNTHEAR argument being offered, and the example to send you to "Calvinism" was to illustrate a point - not a serious suggestion (since it would work just about as well there, as here). What you cited is not justification for inclusion.

Heresy is, by definition, tied to a doctrine, not a movement. You've been offered a solution - go to whatever doctrines you consider heresy, include documentation proving them as such, and then tag them with "see also: heresy". This tag - by definition - cannot be tagged to the ECM article.--Lyonscc (talk) 22:43, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am also going to assume good faith and beleive that you do not know that I am Orthodox Presbyterian, and haven´t seen my edits where I have clearly stated this or my old user page that clearly stated so. Were I not too, then your trying to send me to Calvinism could only be considered a personal attack.--Die4Dixie (talk) 22:46, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did not know your old user page history, so my apologies - I chose "Calvinism", simply because Calvinists tend to be the most "evangelistic" in heresy-hunting on Wikipedia (and elsewhere), so the tagging of "Calvinism" with "see also: Heresy" might demonstrate the impropriety of the liberal usage of the heresy 'tag'. I am neither Armenian or Calvinist, but am from a Restoration Movement background (not the ECM), but I tend to intervene in articles that POV-push from any systematic theological viewpoint.--Lyonscc (talk) 22:52, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying. I of course did not want to go through the article tagging based on my personal beliefs. That some might consider some of the deviantions from orthodox protestantism ( even from Arminianism) might interest readers in the general subject of heresy. I will wait until more editors join. Please not, after your second revert, I have not attempted to reinsert, bu rather, encourage you too. This seems to be exactly what policy indicates onew should do. I will abide by concensus ( noting that it could change) so charges of POV pushing are rather hamfisted.--Die4Dixie (talk) 23:00, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies - your requests for revert have been much different that what I've seen in some of the "religious wars" on Wiki. The "POV-pushing" note was too inflammatory on my part. Please forgive my jump to DEFCON 4.--Lyonscc (talk) 23:03, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If I have been intemperate, I too apoogize. I am certainly not interested in a religious war over a simple see also. Nor was it my intention to slander the movement with it. I look forward to a collegial discussion, and if others disagree with the "relatedness", I have no problem with it. Sorry for any misunderstanding( and my sticky keyboard).--Die4Dixie (talk) 23:14, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Henrybish removed your edit. I placed it back but he's determined to have blog information inserted into the article. He's threatened to "take this further." I'm assuming you're more experienced with these situations. Stand ground or let it go; what should I do? Basileias (talk) 01:18, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is always a wonderful thing when a censor or oppressor is forced to show their hand. It is an even better day when an agenda is exposed. You are a fraud, and that has been exposed through the "Joel Osteen Wikipedia Watch Group" that has formed as a direct result of your censorship control of Osteen's page for more than three years. The top of Wikipedia wonders why people don't want to edit anymore, as you and one or two others gang up to stifle outside editors. (Clubhrt (talk) 06:54, 6 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

You might want to catch up on

POV pushing. The same rules need to be applied to those figures I dislike as to the ones I do like. In the case of this particular article, it appears you (and your sockpuppet/meatpuppet group) are somewhat bent because an obviously self-published article does not meet the verifiability sourcing requirements. This is not my problem, and no amount of gamesmanship will fix it as it pertains to this particular source.--Lyonscc (talk) 16:02, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply

ICHTHUS

July 2013

From the Editor

Welcome to the July 2013 issue of Ichthus. We focus on the chronology of Jesus, as well as looking back at the project content improved over the last month.

WP:X has gained another Featured Article, Gospel of the Ebionites, by Ignocrates. The Gospel of the Ebionites is the name scholars give to an apocryphal gospel that supposedly belonged to a sect known as the Ebionites. It consists of seven short quotations discovered in a heresiology known as the Panarion, written by Epiphanius of Salamis, and its original title remains unknown. The text is a gospel harmony composed in Greek, and is believed to have been written during the middle of the 2nd century.

St Mihangel's Church, Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn was promoted to Good Article status, as was two other welsh churches, St Enghenedl's Church, Llanynghenedl, and St Peter's Church, Llanbedrgoch.

The main page also featured several DYK hooks for articles in our project, namely

List of places of worship in Tandridge (district), Catholic Press, Garendon Abbey, St. John's Episcopal Church (Jersey City, New Jersey), Pargev Martirosyan, Praskvica Monastery, Heather Preceptory, St. Augustin, Coburg, Longleat Priory, St Mihangel's Church, Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn, St Enghenedl's Church, Llanynghenedl, Christianization of Moravia, Christianization of Bohemia, Repton Abbey, St Peter's Church, Llanbedrgoch, Medingen Abbey, Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church, St. James on-the-Lines, and Leopold Karl von Kollonitsch

.

Church of the month

Saint Sophia's Cathedral, Kiev in Ukraine. It is a functioning monastery that dates back to the Middle Ages

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS

When did Jesus live? When did he die? How do we know? We do, in fact, have excellent information about the time intervals for the life and death of Jesus. As in other people who lived and died in the first century, this gives an approximate date range, but still, give or take 3-4 years and we have pretty good estimates confirmed by a number of really diverse sources, ranging from inscriptions in Delphi to Roman and Jewish sources. The Chronology of Jesus article discusses how a wide variety of Christian, Jewish and Roman sources are used to establish the time-frame for the life and death of Jesus.

And all of his data fits together. For instance, the chronology of Paul had been discussed based on the

Book of Acts long ago, then the Delphi Inscription is found in the 20th century in the Temple of Apollo. And guess what.. it confirms it and totally dates his trial in Corinth, which helps reaffirm the date of the crucifixion of Jesus. The same date range is independently estimated from the writings of Josephus on the Baptist's death. And it fits Isaac Newton's astronomical models for the crucifixion date as well as the independent lunar calculations of Humphreys

. As that article shows, all these dates just fit together.

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS

What was Jesus like? What did he preach? Did he claim to be the Messiah? Did he predict an apocalypse? What can we know about him outside a religious context? The Historical Jesus article discusses what can be known about Jesus with various degrees of probability. While scholars agree on the over all flow and outline of Jesus' life (his baptism by John, debated Jewish authorities, healings, and his crucifixion by Pilate) they have built various and diverging portraits of the rest of his life. These range from minimalist portraits that accept very little of the gospel accounts to maximalists who accept most of the accounts as historical.

The portraits of Jesus have at times been unwitting reflections of the researchers themselves, and Crossan once quipped that some authors "do autobiography and call it biography". However, the study of historical Jesus has made one thing clear: there is so much to learn about Jesus that the more one looks, the more there is to discover.

From the bookshelf

In this book Maurice Casey not only draws on his special expertise in the Aramaic traditions and the Q source, but provides a comprehensive review of the various approaches to the historical Jesus.

By Lionelt

Last month's auspicious relaunch of our newsletter precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administrator Future Perfect at Sunrise for his involvement in the dispute. The story was reported by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper The Signpost.

The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the protracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original Christianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 by Brisvegas and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. The Transhumanist has revived WikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them.

The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals. (more...)

Quotes

"Faith lived in the incognito is one which is located outside the criticism coming from society, from politics, from history, for the very reason that it has itself the vocation to be a source of criticism. It is faith (lived in the incognito) which triggers the issues for the others, which causes everything seemingly established to be placed in doubt, which drives a wedge into the world of false assurances."
~

philosopher, sociologist, and professor who was a noted Christian anarchist
