Thanks for working out an excellent compromise in the most contentious subsection of that official Mediation! There's more work to be done on the other subsections, but i think that for your success so far, you all deserve some extra whipped~cream and a lovely berry~on~top!

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!

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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

Alright, you got me out of a mess a while back and I think I stepped into another one. There's an editor on the Zondervan article that's determined to create a controversy section for the Pornography and Satanic connection Zondervan has. ;-) I probably made a mess of the talk page going back and forth with him. How do you do an arbitration case? If you have time or the desire, take a look at most of the sources he's using. I think I'm correct in saying most "fail." Am I wrong?

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))
- You might want to catch up on WP:TAGTEAM per your "Watch Group". My primary editing activities are with Biographies of Living Persons, of which Osteen's is one of many. I happen to despise much of what Osteen focuses on (Health & Wealth Gospel), but that is no reason for me to bend/break the rules of Wikipedia (be it in verifiable resourcing or 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)

You may want to see this Complete Jewish Bible delete. While I realize there are notability issues with some of the articles in question, it seems some rules are being taken advantage of for the purpose of deleting something simply because someone doesn't "like" it.

Your recent editing history at Right-to-work law shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

From the Editor
Starting this month we will start a "Focus on" series, where we will try to "bring Jesus back" and focus on him. For five consecutive issues we will focus on one aspect of the study of Jesus. The goal of this series is to inform our members of what the project contains and highlight those articles which have reached quality and stability.
From this month until November we will focus on the historical Jesus, a topic which has been the subject of much discussion on article talk pages, as well as the general media. This is an important topic, and we have a good set of well referenced articles on that now. Then, starting in December we will focus on Christ, and the spiritual and theological elements that the title entails. Following that the review of the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament, his miracles, and parables will take place. And each month the "Bookshelf" will mention a book that fits the theme of the month.
We hope you will enjoy this journey as we present a new aspect of Jesus each month. And given that as the number of project pages increases, the ratio of those watching the pages declines, we hope that more of you will watch some of these central pages that help define this project.
Church of the month
The current building of All Saints' Church, Winthorpe in Nottinghamshire, England which was completed in 1888, is at least the third version of the church, which dates back to at least the early 13th century.

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS
Did Jesus exist? Did he walk the streets of Jerusalem? The Historicity of Jesus article answers these questions with a firm affirmative. Historicity does not discuss if Jesus walked on water, but if he walked at all. The issue was the subject of scholarly debate before the end of last century, but the academic debate is almost over now. As the article discusses, virtually all academic opposition to the existence of Jesus has evaporated away now and scholars see it as a concluded issue. The discussion is now just among mostly self-published non-academics.
In 2011 John Dickson tweeted that if anyone finds a professor of history who denies that Jesus lived, he would eat a page of his Bible (Matthew 1 he said). Dickson's Bible is still safe.
The article discusses the ancient sources that relate to Jesus and how they fit together to establish that he existed. The evidence for Jesus is not just based on the Christian gospels, but by inter-relating them with non-Christian sources, and the fact that they all "fit together". Moreover, the existence of Jesus is not supported just by Christian scholars and in recent years the detailed knowledge of Jewish scholars and their discoveries (e.g. Shlomo Pines' discovery of the Syriac Josephus) has proven highly beneficial. We encourage you to read and follow the article, for the existence of Jesus is central to the existence of Christianity.
From the bookshelf
Just a few years after its publication, Van Voorst's book has become the standard comprehensive text for the discussion of ancient sources that relate to Jesus and his historicity. This detailed yet really readable book has received wide ranging endorsements - Blomberg and Harris separately referring to it as the most comprehensive treatment of the subject.
Did you know...
- ... that Johann Sebastian Bach wrote the initials "S. D. G.", for Soli Deo Gloria, at the beginning and end of all his church compositions to give God credit for the work, and that Handel at times did the same?
Calendar

Beheading of John the Baptist,
Saints Peter and Paul, the
Nativity of John the Baptist, and

From the Editor
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 Bob Fu, 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
St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery is part of 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.
From the bookshelf
This two volume book (with a very apt title) is gem-filled with scholarly research. Paul Maier's article in the first volume is a classic study on the chronology of Jesus and provides a useful summary of a number of issues.
Did you know...
- ... that the Russian journalist Nicolas Notovitch who in 1894 originated the story that there was evidence at the Hemis monastery that an adult Jesus had traveled to India, later confessed to fabricating his evidence?

Welcome to the August 2013 issue of the WikiProject Christianity newsletter. We focus on the historical Jesus and reflect on the last month.
The project has another featured picture, The ruins of Holyrood Chapel, a digitisation of an oil-on-canvas painting. Our top-importance article, Jesus, has been nominated for Featured Article status, the discussion can be seen here; Knights of Colombus has also been nominated as a FAC.
Ecgbert (bishop) and Church architecture in Scotland have both this month achieved Good Article status.
Our project had several of its articles featured in the main page DYK section, including Hinckley Priory, Little Chapel, St Peter's Church, Ropsley, Chip Ingram, St John the Evangelist's Church, Corby Glen, Great George Street Congregational Church, St Mary's Church, Walton-on-the-Hill and Bunge church.
Our thanks go to all of those who have worked to achieve these article milestones.

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.
Did you know...
- ... that in 1951 Christianity was the second largest religion in the world with 500 million followers, compared to 520 million Buddhists, but by 2013 it had gained the top spot with about 2.2 billion Christians?

This month we celebrate the feasts of

Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the gospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a Divine Trinity. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. ( Full article...)

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.

Operation Auca was an attempt by five Evangelical Christian missionaries from the United States to make contact with the Huaorani people of the rainforest of Ecuador. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first Protestants to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on January 2, 1956, the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a sandbar along the Curaray River, a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated on January 8, 1956, when all five— Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian—were attacked and speared by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and Life magazine covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production End of the Spear. ( more...)

The Mortara case was a controversy precipitated by the Papal States' seizure of Edgardo Mortara, a six-year-old Jewish child, from his family in Bologna, Italy, in 1858. The city's inquisitor, Father Pier Feletti, heard from a servant that she had administered emergency baptism to the boy when he fell sick as an infant, and the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition held that this made the child irrevocably a Catholic. Because the Papal States had forbidden the raising of Christians by members of other faiths, it was ordered that he be taken from his family and brought up by the Church. After visits from the child's father, international protests mounted, but Pope Pius IX would not be moved. The boy grew up as a Catholic with the Pope as a substitute father, trained for the priesthood in Rome until 1870, and was ordained in France three years later. In 1870 the Kingdom of Italy captured Rome during the unification of Italy, ending the pontifical state; opposition across Italy, Europe and the United States over Mortara's treatment may have contributed to its downfall.

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events. Predictions of apocalyptic events that would result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the Christian Era. Most predictions are related to Abrahamic religions, often standing for or similar to the eschatological events described in their scriptures. Christian predictions typically refer to events like the Rapture, Great Tribulation, Last Judgment, and the Second Coming of Christ.
Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime, with percentages raging from 6% of people in France to 22% in the US and Turkey. In the UK in 2015, the general public believed the likeliest cause would be nuclear war, while experts thought it would be artificial intelligence. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by zombies or alien invasion. ( more...)

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.

A Song for Simeon, is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet
T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). It is
one of five poems that Eliot contributed to the
Ariel poems series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by
Faber and Gwyer. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by
avant garde artist
Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the
Nunc dimittis, a liturgical prayer for
Compline from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers
Lancelot Andrewes,
Dante Alighieri and
St. John of the Cross. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of
anti-Semitism on Eliot's part.
