It stood near the mouth of the Euphrates, on its western bank, and is represented by the mounds (of bricks cemented by bitumen) of el-Mugheir, i.e., &quot;the bitumined,&quot; or &quot;the town of bitumen,&quot; now 150 miles from the sea and some 6 miles from the Euphrates, a little above the point where it receives the Shat el-Hie, an affluent from the Tigris. It was formerly a maritime city, as the waters of the Persian Gulf reached thus far inland. Ur was the port of Babylonia, whence trade was carried on with the dwellers on the gulf, and with the distant countries of India, Ethiopia, and Egypt. It was abandoned about B.C. 500, but long continued, like Erech, to be a great sacred cemetery city, as is evident from the number of tombs found there. (See ABRAHAM.) The oldest king of Ur known to us is Ur-Ba'u (servant of the goddess Ba'u), as Hommel reads the name, or Ur-Gur, as others read it. He lived some twenty-eight hundred years B.C., and took part in building the famous temple of the moon-god Sin in Ur itself. The illustration here given represents his cuneiform inscription, written in the Sumerian language, and stamped upon every brick of the temple in Ur. It reads: &quot;Ur-Ba'u, king of Ur, who built the temple of the moon-god.&quot; &quot;Ur was consecrated to the worship of Sin, the Babylonian moon-god. It shared this honour, however, with another city, and this city was Haran, or Harran. Harran was in Mesopotamia, and took its name from the highroad which led through it from the east to the west. The name is Babylonian, and bears witness to its having been founded by a Babylonian king. The same witness is still more decisively borne by the worship paid in it to the Babylonian moon-god and by its ancient temple of Sin. Indeed, the temple of the moon-god at Harran was perhaps even more famous in the Assyrian and Babylonian world than the temple of the moon-god at Ur. &quot;Between Ur and Harran there must, consequently, have been a close connection in early times, the record of which has not yet been recovered. It may be that Harran owed its foundation to a king of Ur; at any rate the two cities were bound together by the worship of the same deity, the closest and most enduring bond of union that existed in the ancient world. That Terah should have migrated from Ur to Harran, therefore, ceases to be extraordinary. If he left Ur at all, it was the most natural place to which to go. It was like passing from one court of a temple into another. &quot;Such a remarkable coincidence between the Biblical narrative and the evidence of archaeological research cannot be the result of chance. The narrative must be historical; no writer of late date, even if he were a Babylonian, could have invented a story so exactly in accordance with what we now know to have been the truth. For a story of the kind to have been the invention of Palestinian tradition is equally impossible. To the unprejudiced mind there is no escape from the conclusion that the history of the migration of Terah from Ur to Harran is founded on fact&quot; (Sayce). <br /> <br /> {{fbd}}</div> 69.136.79.9 http://www.wikichristian.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Woman&diff=11338 Woman 2005-04-24T21:28:13Z <p>69.136.79.9: </p> <hr /> <div>Woman - was &quot;taken out of man&quot; (Gen. 2:23), and therefore the man has the preeminence. &quot;The head of the woman is the man;&quot; but yet honour is to be shown to the wife, &quot;as unto the weaker vessel&quot; (1 Cor. 11:3, 8, 9; 1 Pet. 3:7). Several women are mentioned in Scripture as having been endowed with prophetic gifts, as Miriam (Ex. 15:20), Deborah (Judg. 4:4, 5), Huldah (2 Kings 22:14), Noadiah (Neh. 6:14), Anna (Luke 2:36, 37), and the daughters of Philip the evangelist (Acts 21:8, 9). Women are forbidden to teach publicly (1 Cor. 14:34, 35; 1 Tim. 2:11, 12). Among the Hebrews it devolved upon women to prepare the meals for the household (Gen. 18:6; 2 Sam. 13:8), to attend to the work of spinning (Ex. 35:26; Prov. 31:19), and making clothes (1 Sam. 2:19; Prov. 31:21), to bring water from the well (Gen. 24:15; 1 Sam. 9:11), and to care for the flocks (Gen. 29:6; Ex. 2:16). The word &quot;woman,&quot; as used in Matt. 15:28, John 2:4 and 20:13, 15, implies tenderness and courtesy and not disrespect. Only where revelation is known has woman her due place of honour assigned to her. <br /> <br /> {{fbd}}</div> 69.136.79.9 http://www.wikichristian.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Yarn&diff=11324 Yarn 2005-04-24T21:18:54Z <p>69.136.79.9: </p> <hr /> <div>Yarn - Found only in 1 Kings 10:28, 2 Chr. 1:16.

The Jews reckoned the year in two ways, (1) according to a sacred calendar, in which the year began about the time of the vernal equinox, with the month Abib; and (2) according to a civil calendar, in which the year began about the time of the autumnal equinox, with the month Nisan.

In 1 Sam. 11:7, 1 Kings 19:21, Job 1:3 the word thus translated is tzemed, which signifies a pair, two oxen yoked or coupled together, and hence in 1 Sam. 14:14 it represents as much land as a yoke of oxen could plough in a day, like the Latin jugum.

I'm looking forward to contributing and working together on this project. [[User:Cpark|Cpark]] 18:46, 8 Feb 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> == Statistics? ==<br /> <br /> Hi Prab, I just had a quick question about something before I head off and start a paper (For Dan-Rev...yay!). Anyway, my question was were are our statistics? Most wiki's have a statistics link right on front page (Currently working on xxxxx articles) and you can click on the number and see some statistics. I know we're using media wiki so the functionality must be there. Is there a reason we don't currently have a link to statistics?<br /> <br /> Nevermind...I found it. Guess I just need to actually look before I ask. :) [[User:Cpark|Cpark]] 07:33, 12 Mar 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Cpark,<br /> It has been a pleasure for me too and I appreciate the wonderful spirit you have and the innovative ideas you bring in. You and Graham have been wonderful friends.<br /> <br /> As per the statistics, we just did not want to have them on the mainpage as yet since we would like to grow to a reasonable number of articles before we can have them on the front page. <br /> <br /> Just a note on the vision -<br /> <br /> Let us keep the vision of wikichristian broad, to be a meta christian resource linking and reviewing everything christian on the planet and creating content where there is none. We do not have to or want to &quot;reinvent the wheel&quot;, if the work has already been done somewhere on the internet, we will just review and link it. <br /> <br /> -[[User:Prab|Prab]]<br /> <br /> Prab, agreed about the vision. I think that the only time we need to &quot;reinvent&quot; the wheel is if something isn't being maintained (ie, Easton's Bible Dictionary is 100 years old and we can help to update it in a wiki environment...some with the KJV, though WEB is doing something like that, just not in a wiki environment. I view our stuff with the KJV to be more like making a study bible). Have I done something that doens't line up with keeping the vision broad? My idea with the goals is just to give us something to shoot for, not to limit what we can do. But kindda to set priorities...could I word something differently to not limit us? Or were you just giving a general statement? [[User:Cpark|Cpark]] 05:01, 13 Mar 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Cpark,<br /> I was just making a general statement and do not mean to comment on any of the things you are doing. I think we are in complete agreement here regarding the vision. As you are aware, we are still in the formative stage and we would like to have people with a vision, passion and commitment with strong leadership abilities to take this project to where we would like it to be. I am turning etnoy into a sysop and hope he would be a valuable addition to the team. God bless!<br /> <br /> [[User:Prab|Prab]], March 13, 2005.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Graham,<br /> Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing with all the lyrics. In order to better organize the information in the wiki, it is a good idea to categorize the pages so that the system automatically creates alphabetical lists. All we have to do is to type [[Category:type]] at the bottom of the page. For example, the songs category pages should have &lt;nowiki&gt;[[category:songs]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;. Also, there are some dead end pages that do not have any link and the best way to avoid creating dead end pages is by categories and templates. To create a new template, just type &lt;nowiki&gt;{{template name}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; and edit the template page with the link created. Thanks for the understanding.<br /> <br /> [[User:Prab]]<br /> ----<br /> Hi Prab, <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Categories ==<br /> <br /> Hi Prab,<br /> <br /> Yep - it's a good idea to use templates and categories. Makes sense to me. However, I still like to have the index and contents pages under the control of the users rather than at the mercy of an automated system.<br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> <br /> Graham<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Graham,<br /> <br /> I think we can do both. Actually, the system does a good job in organizing the info alphabetically but giving the control to the users as well makes sense and we will continue both. <br /> <br /> Thanks.<br /> <br /> -Prab<br /> <br /> == Reference Scriptures ==<br /> <br /> Prab<br /> <br /> If it's all the same to you, I'd like to leave the reference scriptures as they were. it is easier to link to specific scripures and them alone if they do exist and exist alone. Instead of having people search through an entire book directing to the isolated scripures at are specifically referenced to seems a better idea.<br /> <br /> cb31989<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi,<br /> The CamelCase type of linking text was the original wiki idea that was eventually replaced with the square bracket for wiki links in this wiki engine. One reason the CamelCase is not so good is because search engines do not recognize the two words as separate and so the page may not be ranked accordingly. Another problem is that it is a bit unnatural to not have space in between words. <br /> So, may I request you to try to use the square brackets and spaces in between words for the above reasons. Thanks for the understanding. <br /> <br /> -Prab<br /> <br /> == Referance Scriptures ==<br /> <br /> I think it would be a good idea to do referance scriptures buy chapters alone then use templates for the full book. As referance scriptures for all the variations would take a long time and people do want to read the book or print the books of the Bible beging to end to.<br /> <br /> == World English Bible updates ==<br /> <br /> Is it your intention that the WEB stayes up to date with the offical versions of the WEB? Or do you want the users of wikiChristian modify it so that it becomes the wiki translation. Then there should also be an offical version as well on WikiChristian. Thanks [[User:M_loewen]]<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Hi,<br /> <br /> I think we would do well utilizing the interlinking and other possibilities the wiki offers in enhancing the usefulness and understanding of the Bible. For example, John 3:16 can be <br /> <br /> For [[God]] so [[love|loved]] the world, that he gave his only begotten [[Son]], that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have [[eternal life]]... John 3:16 <br /> <br /> By using the [[wiki]] links, we can amplify the Bible and make it very useful for the users. The idea of A [[Free Bible Dictionary]] was to have each biblical word explained in the wiki and those words can be used for the Bible versions or anywhere in the wiki just by wiki linking them. If you have other ideas, please feel free to put them forward. <br /> <br /> I just wanted to say that I like the work you do at wikichristian and if you would be interested, we would very much like to have you as one of the sysops!

I'm looking forward to contributing and working together on this project. [[User:Cpark|Cpark]] 18:46, 8 Feb 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> == Statistics? ==<br /> <br /> Hi Prab, I just had a quick question about something before I head off and start a paper (For Dan-Rev...yay!). Anyway, my question was were are our statistics? Most wiki's have a statistics link right on front page (Currently working on xxxxx articles) and you can click on the number and see some statistics. I know we're using media wiki so the functionality must be there. Is there a reason we don't currently have a link to statistics?<br /> <br /> Nevermind...I found it. Guess I just need to actually look before I ask. :) [[User:Cpark|Cpark]] 07:33, 12 Mar 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Cpark,<br /> It has been a pleasure for me too and I appreciate the wonderful spirit you have and the innovative ideas you bring in. You and Graham have been wonderful friends.<br /> <br /> As per the statistics, we just did not want to have them on the mainpage as yet since we would like to grow to a reasonable number of articles before we can have them on the front page. <br /> <br /> Just a note on the vision -<br /> <br /> Let us keep the vision of wikichristian broad, to be a meta christian resource linking and reviewing everything christian on the planet and creating content where there is none. We do not have to or want to &quot;reinvent the wheel&quot;, if the work has already been done somewhere on the internet, we will just review and link it. <br /> <br /> -[[User:Prab|Prab]]<br /> <br /> Prab, agreed about the vision. I think that the only time we need to &quot;reinvent&quot; the wheel is if something isn't being maintained (ie, Easton's Bible Dictionary is 100 years old and we can help to update it in a wiki environment...some with the KJV, though WEB is doing something like that, just not in a wiki environment. I view our stuff with the KJV to be more like making a study bible). Have I done something that doens't line up with keeping the vision broad? My idea with the goals is just to give us something to shoot for, not to limit what we can do. But kindda to set priorities...could I word something differently to not limit us? Or were you just giving a general statement? [[User:Cpark|Cpark]] 05:01, 13 Mar 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Cpark,<br /> I was just making a general statement and do not mean to comment on any of the things you are doing. I think we are in complete agreement here regarding the vision. As you are aware, we are still in the formative stage and we would like to have people with a vision, passion and commitment with strong leadership abilities to take this project to where we would like it to be. I am turning etnoy into a sysop and hope he would be a valuable addition to the team. God bless!<br /> <br /> [[User:Prab|Prab]], March 13, 2005.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Graham,<br /> Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing with all the lyrics. In order to better organize the information in the wiki, it is a good idea to categorize the pages so that the system automatically creates alphabetical lists. All we have to do is to type [[Category:type]] at the bottom of the page. For example, the songs category pages should have &lt;nowiki&gt;[[category:songs]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;. Also, there are some dead end pages that do not have any link and the best way to avoid creating dead end pages is by categories and templates. To create a new template, just type &lt;nowiki&gt;{{template name}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; and edit the template page with the link created. Thanks for the understanding.<br /> <br /> [[User:Prab]]<br /> ----<br /> Hi Prab, <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Categories ==<br /> <br /> Hi Prab,<br /> <br /> Yep - it's a good idea to use templates and categories. Makes sense to me. However, I still like to have the index and contents pages under the control of the users rather than at the mercy of an automated system.<br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> <br /> Graham<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Graham,<br /> <br /> I think we can do both. Actually, the system does a good job in organizing the info alphabetically but giving the control to the users as well makes sense and we will continue both. <br /> <br /> Thanks.<br /> <br /> -Prab<br /> <br /> == Reference Scriptures ==<br /> <br /> Prab<br /> <br /> If it's all the same to you, I'd like to leave the reference scriptures as they were. it is easier to link to specific scripures and them alone if they do exist and exist alone. Instead of having people search through an entire book directing to the isolated scripures at are specifically referenced to seems a better idea.<br /> <br /> cb31989<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi,<br /> The CamelCase type of linking text was the original wiki idea that was eventually replaced with the square bracket for wiki links in this wiki engine. One reason the CamelCase is not so good is because search engines do not recognize the two words as separate and so the page may not be ranked accordingly. Another problem is that it is a bit unnatural to not have space in between words. <br /> So, may I request you to try to use the square brackets and spaces in between words for the above reasons. Thanks for the understanding. <br /> <br /> -Prab</div> 69.136.79.9 http://www.wikichristian.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=WikiChristian_talk:Community_Portal&diff=3766 WikiChristian talk:Community Portal 2005-04-14T22:55:57Z <p>69.136.79.9: </p> <hr /> <div>----<br /> I have some information on the book of Hebrews that I would like to contribute. Could that page be unprotected so that I can add the info? [[User:Cpark|Cpark]] 08:37, 4 Feb 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Okay, I've unprotected the main index page for Hebrews (and for all the other books of the Bible)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> I'm not sure where to post this info, so I thought that it'd fit here.<br /> I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to wikis, so I have some ideas regarding the layout of songs. Currently each song has a separate page linking to its lyrics instead of just writing a heading and let the lyrics be underneath. Linking means that there will be a very large amount of pages as soon as we start to really grow, and it might be confusing for especially new users. I also have to object against the same behaviour being practised when it comes to, for example the page about [[Matt Redman]]. Can't his info and/or bio reside in that page instead of the current [[About Matt Redman]].<br /> <br /> Back to songs. Right now all songs have the name in the page title, meaning that it might be a little difficult to see what pages are songs, what pages are articles and so on. On another wiki wer'e using namespaces to make things easier. That means that songs have the page prefix Song: and that it is separately searchable. Free Bible Dictionary does already follow that naming scheme, and it works pretty well to keep it from cluttering, doesn't it? <br /> <br /> Feel free to comment on my ideas. [[User:Etnoy|Etnoy]] 02:08, 18 Mar 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi,<br /> Regarding the issue of lyrics, [[User:Graham grove|Graham grove]] is doing that wonderful work and you can go ahead and discuss any ideas for improvement with him. It is a matter of style and some times planning for the growth in future. As long as the pages have proper links, it may not be confusing but I think some of the pages that have just one page link can be made part of other pages.

I'm looking forward to contributing and working together on this project. [[User:Cpark|Cpark]] 18:46, 8 Feb 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> == Statistics? ==<br /> <br /> Hi Prab, I just had a quick question about something before I head off and start a paper (For Dan-Rev...yay!). Anyway, my question was were are our statistics? Most wiki's have a statistics link right on front page (Currently working on xxxxx articles) and you can click on the number and see some statistics. I know we're using media wiki so the functionality must be there. Is there a reason we don't currently have a link to statistics?<br /> <br /> Nevermind...I found it. Guess I just need to actually look before I ask. :) [[User:Cpark|Cpark]] 07:33, 12 Mar 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Cpark,<br /> It has been a pleasure for me too and I appreciate the wonderful spirit you have and the innovative ideas you bring in. You and Graham have been wonderful friends.<br /> <br /> As per the statistics, we just did not want to have them on the mainpage as yet since we would like to grow to a reasonable number of articles before we can have them on the front page. <br /> <br /> Just a note on the vision -<br /> <br /> Let us keep the vision of wikichristian broad, to be a meta christian resource linking and reviewing everything christian on the planet and creating content where there is none. We do not have to or want to &quot;reinvent the wheel&quot;, if the work has already been done somewhere on the internet, we will just review and link it. <br /> <br /> -[[User:Prab|Prab]]<br /> <br /> Prab, agreed about the vision. I think that the only time we need to &quot;reinvent&quot; the wheel is if something isn't being maintained (ie, Easton's Bible Dictionary is 100 years old and we can help to update it in a wiki environment...some with the KJV, though WEB is doing something like that, just not in a wiki environment. I view our stuff with the KJV to be more like making a study bible). Have I done something that doens't line up with keeping the vision broad? My idea with the goals is just to give us something to shoot for, not to limit what we can do. But kindda to set priorities...could I word something differently to not limit us? Or were you just giving a general statement? [[User:Cpark|Cpark]] 05:01, 13 Mar 2005 (PST)<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Cpark,<br /> I was just making a general statement and do not mean to comment on any of the things you are doing. I think we are in complete agreement here regarding the vision. As you are aware, we are still in the formative stage and we would like to have people with a vision, passion and commitment with strong leadership abilities to take this project to where we would like it to be. I am turning etony into a sysop and hope he would be a valuable addition to the team.

My <br /> tears were in the rain. <br /> <br /> Today you looked so sad, so all alone. It makes my heart ache <br /> because I understand. My friends let me down and hurt me so many <br /> times too. '''But I love you'''. Oh, if you would only listen to me. I <br /> really love you. I try to tell you in the blue sky and in the quiet <br /> green grass. I whisper it in the leaves on the trees and breathe it <br /> in the colors of the flowers. I shout it to you in the mountain <br /> streams and give the birds love songs to sing.

When you accept the fact that you have disobeyed God, but also accept Jesus' death on the cross as punishment for your sins (in your place and on your behalf), you have become a Christian. In doing so, you will live forever (in Heaven). Believing that Jesus is Lord means glorifying Him and trying to learn what pleases Him (through the Bible). God will forgive you when you make mistakes because Jesus took your punishment for those mistakes, but if you are truly serving Him then you will also want to try to do His will. You may think that you'll lose personal freedom by doing this, but the truth is, you will be gaining freedom from sin, and freedom from the law that none of us can keep. And with this freedom comes love, joy, and peace.

Christianity has many branches, including 1.1 billion [[Roman Catholicism|Roman Catholics]], 367 million [[Protestant churches|Protestants]] in a number of traditions, 216 million [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Orthodox]], 84 million [[Anglican church|Anglicans]], 414 million Independents (unaffiliated with the major streams of Christianity), and 31.7 million &quot;marginal&quot; groups ([[Jehovah's Witnesses]], Latter Day Saints ([[Mormonism|Mormon]]s), etc.), these last being denominations which describe themselves as Christian but are not standardly recognized as such by other denominations.<br /> <br /> Although Christianity is the largest religion in the world and there are massive missionary efforts under way, as a whole it is declining in terms of the overall population. While the population of the world grows at roughly 1.25% per year, [[The essence of Christianity|Christianity]] is growing at about 1.12% per year. By contrast, [[Islam]] is growing at 1.76% per year. The slow growth can be attributed to most of the Christian population residing in affluent nations where the birth rate is quite low. By contrast, Islamic nations have a higher birth rate and by effect have a larger growth percentage.<br /> ''For more, see:''<br /> * [[List of Christian denominations]]<br /> * [[Denominations|Christianity: Denominations]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==New to Wiki?==<br /> A wiki (pronounced &quot;wicky&quot;, &quot;weekee&quot; or &quot;veekee&quot;) is a website that allows a user to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows that content to be edited by anybody. Wiki wiki comes from the Hawaiian term for &quot;quick&quot; or &quot;super-fast.&quot; Since the page history is stored, the pages can be reverted back in case of vandalism. Since its first introduction on March 25, 1995, as Portland Pattern Repository by [[Ward Cunningham]], Wiki Wiki Webs became quickly popular, thanks to the revolutionary concept of users editing any page in the wiki. Since the page history is stored, the pages can be reverted back in case of vandalism.

I am technology enthusiast, having taught myself many of the softwares involved in web building. Having started successful websites like residentscafe.com, believerscafe.com to name a few, I realized that a wiki would be an ideal tool for people to work together on the internet to create and organize information. <br /> <br /> While there are many wiki's for secular information, we felt a need a for a dedicated Christian wiki that will not only serve as a wiki community, but also serves as a source for information and an encyclopedia on Christianity. In order to realize this, WikiChristian is started along with friends I met on the internet with similar vision. I strongly believe that there is strength in togetherness/unity and as a group, we can help build a free Christian Encyclopedia that represents the contemporary concepts in Christian Theology and Faith.

I am technology enthusiast, having taught myself many of the softwares involved in web building. Having started successful websites like residentscafe.com, believerscafe.com to name a few, I realized that a wiki would be an ideal tool for people to work together on the internet to create and organize information. <br /> <br /> While there are many wiki's for secular information, we felt a need a for a dedicated Christian wiki that will not only serve as a wiki community, but also serves as a source for information and an encyclopedia on Christianity. In order to realize this, WikiChristian is started along with friends I met on the internet with similar vision. I strongly believe that there is strength in togetherness/unity and as a group, we can help build a free Christian Encyclopedia that represents the contemporary concepts in Christian Theology and Faith.
