About Me
Open Letter to adopt this Christianity Wikia,

I'm a new member of Wikipedia and all of the Wikimedia Foundation projects, and I'm the founder of The Perl Wiki in Wikia at Wikia:c:Perl, and I came here just the other day from The Health Wiki in Wikia at Wikia:c:Health, looking for a little Christian safe house, or safe haven, for some Christianity friendly discussions in a forum about managing a difficult chronic illness called BFS, and I was welcomed warmly. Thank you very much to The Rock of Victory, named J. J..

I am a true Christian, living The Way, The Truth and The Life modelled by Jesus Christ my Lord, and I was originally raised in the Methodist style of Christianity, but I'm very much my own Christian today, because I'm always listening to God with my own mind's eye. My ancestors were some of the original Quakers, and I've been to a Quaker meeting house to honor and investigate their faith. Other ancestors were Mennonites, and my next door neighbors are Amish, and you'll hopefully never meet the Amish here on the internet, but I know for an absolute fact that they are true Christians just like me. To Jesus, His sheep are His sheep, and everyone is one of God's many children. What is important is the real well-defined function and the real and true effects of being a Christian, more than the specific style of worship that you have adopted within your own local church and family.

Differences of Christian Community opinion can always be resolved by patient and thoughtful argumentation, performed in good faith.

I will answer any question, and I will ask my questions right back.

I'm not here for power; instead, I'm here to empower our Christian Community.

Sincerely,

Eric R. Meyers

One of the first things that I'd do, if I were made king for a day, is change the name of this very special place to The Christianity Wiki in Wikia.

Christianity
Christianity is PERSONAL and SPIRITUAL.

Christianity is NONVIOLENCE and FORGIVENESS.

The Good Faith

 * Christians are NONVIOLENTLY ASSERTIVE.
 * Christians FORE-GIVE PEOPLE the benefit of the doubt, in good faith.

The Good Suffering
The Good Fight is NONVIOLENT and FORGIVING.
 * Community
 * Collaboration
 * Cooperation
 * Communication
 * Argumentation

The Good Function
The Just War (Just War) is The Counter-Intuitive War that Heals people, rather than Kills people. This is something called Fighting for Peace, or Peacemaking.

The Good Effects

 * Faith instead of chronic doubt
 * Hope instead of chronic fear
 * Love instead of chronic hate
 * Health instead of chronic illness
 * Peace instead of chronic warfare
 * God instead of chronic power struggles

The Good Goal of The Mission from God
The Common Good (Common Good) includes everyone globally ("Muslims, Hindu's, Protestants and Catholics.", etc.). We are all God's Children.

Expose The Truth, and shine The Light of God
The truth is always the truth, and no matter how many different ways that you might imagine to look at the truth, it's just always the same. It's just simply The Truth, and the same thing can be said about The Way and The Life, of Jesus.


 * Jesus is:
 * The Logos of God
 * The Reason of God
 * The Word of God

Demonstrate God's Excellence
Christians should strive to be excellent, like Jesus.

Thrive within a vibrant Christian Community
Christians should show the world The Way, The Truth and The Life, of Jesus.

Christ's special Christian Community meaning to me

 * The teller of The Good Shepherd parable is gathering his own people
 * Luke 11:23 (King James Version)
 * He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

Christ's special Christian Community moment to me

 * The teller of The Good Samaritan parable is abandoned by his own people
 * John 16:32 (King James Version)
 * Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

The Lord's Prayer about Our Father
Matthew 6:9-11 (King James Version)
 * 9
 * After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.


 * 10
 * Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.


 * 11
 * Give us this day our daily bread.



Hi Rock of Victory, or J. J.
Hi J. J., I didn't mean to confuse you. I've worked with Lisa, Wikia:User:Sannse, and she is really good, when you need some good help from Wikia.

I've read your userpage here, and I see that you are thinking in the correct way, so I think that we are going to get along fairly well.

Last night, I got a little disgusted, and eventually we can discuss things more fully, but I'm just here to say hello, and to thank you for your quick and friendly response.

Here's the general idea, expressed quickly, not perfectly. Wikipedia and other Wikimedia namespaces are the real world that Jesus sent us, his disciples, into, to save people in the world. He is not telling us to build heaven on earth for Christians, with only the CPOV; instead, he's telling us Christians to go to work in the real world, and win the world over by fighting the good fight of getting our good ideas and our real healing and saving truths into "The Sum of All Human Knowledge" contained in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia namespaces. We should be working, struggling and enduring daily in Wikipedia, not spinning copied Wikipedia content into a sterilized Christianity-Wikipedia snapshot of Wikipedia. There is only one living truth, and it is still developing daily, and that one living truth will land in Wikipedia, if I have anything to do with it.

Without being rejected by Wikia, Nsandwich has now gone off, with very little community discussion that I could see here, and he started a new effort in scattering more so, because last night I saw that they have 12000 some pages extracted, from what I can only assume was "Everything Under the Sun" copied from Wikipedia to create his great vision of a Christian-only-Wikipedia snapshot, and they are in the process of converting it all to conform to that new server that he's decided to work on.

We simply get our daily bread from God, and that one living truth includes both Spiritual Experience and Scientific Observation, and to extract everything Spiritual-in-nature to remove unwanted stuff that is Scientific-in-nature is an absolute absurdity that I can not stand for, while I'm still living and breathing for my God, and His Truth. It's like telling the world "You are simply wrong, and you'll just have to believe us, without us also being in your Community collaborating, cooperating, communicating and contributing with you to the collection of the real and true facts of life here on Earth." We are supposed to be living with them. We are supposed to be working in the despicable slime of their world, not in some special happy place for Christians, with the CPOV.

Yes, we need a Shiloh, but a very smart Christian can be very fair and write a very excellent NPOV article that tells the one simple truth, called The Truth, named Jesus Christ and The Word of God. This place is an excellent home for Christian Opinion and Devotionals, but Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia namespaces should be the one home of The Truth, and "The Sum of All Human Knowledge".

Like you, I don't like redundancy. And, I also don't like littering.

I hope that this helps give you the basic gist of my thinking. --Ermeyers 21:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

The Christianity Wiki in Wikia
I'm very interested in the discussion of Christianity Knowledge Base:ChristianKM.

global Wiki community development and community building
I'm currently learning about WikiSym 2006.
