== preterism ==

Dear Confession0791,

I'm unhappy about you changing the article. 

Hyper-preterism should never be called Full preterism which is a misleading description. Preterism, i.e. what you want to call classical preterism or orthodox preterism is a classical christian view on biblical eschatology. Hyper-preterism is a heresy held to and developed mostly by Arians. These two belief systems are very different and have utterly different history.

(Matthew 24 revers to the destruction of Jerusalem, which happened in 72 ad and has been known by christians through out history. Hyper-preterists pretend that the resurrection already took place during that period i.e. they think that christians can no longer look for the resurrection.)

This is evidently not either catholic nor evangelical and falls outside of the spectrum of classical christianity. Yet hyper-preterists insist on using a term based on the belief formulated by the "classical" preterist Luis de Alcasar in the sixteenth century. Now, de Alcasar was formulating a belief that most of the book of revelation had happened in the passed, hence the name. This belief is consistent with the post millennialist view on eschatology but utterly different from the hyper-preterists, which is as aforementioned not consistent with orthodox christianity. It is therefore incorrect to use terms such as 'full preterism', or 'consistent preterism' (which is derogatory) regarding a belief which is completely different from the preterist belief (which is then supposed to be partial-preterism).

I ask you therefore not to change the article as terms and words should be as easy to understand as possible. Hyper-preterism goes beyond preterism hence the term ύπερ or above, this is historically correct usage of the term 'preterist' (cf. de Alcasar). 

Please stop abusing the English language and show academic decency.

Best regards,

Daniel  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/82.4.251.97|82.4.251.97]] ([[User talk:82.4.251.97|talk]]) 15:45, 19 March 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: I agree with your statement, as I am a partial preterist. However, we are going with the most commonly used terms which are "partial preterism" and "full preterism". Terms like "hyper preterism" and "consistent preterism" are either [[Wikipedia:PEACOCK|peacock words]] or [[Wikipedia:WEASEL|weasel words]] and are used mainly by supporters or detractors of any particular movement, respectively. While we can include these terms in the article, they should be limited to an explanation of their uses by those movements.

'''From the Editor'''<br>
[[File:ბუმბული.png|left|50px]]

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, [[:File:The_Ruins_of_Holyrood_Chapel_(Louis_Daguerre),_1824_(Google_Art_Project).jpg|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 [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Jesus/archive3|here]]; [[Knights of Colombus]] has also been nominated as a FAC.

[[Ecgbert (bishop)]] and [[Church architecture in Scotland]] have both this month achieved [[WP:GA|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.

{{clear|left}}
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 of Jesus|baptism by John]], debated Jewish authorities, healings, and [[Crucifixion of Jesus|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 [[John Dominic Crossan|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.

Normally, it's good practice to use the citation needed template instead of rolling back to a previous state, where citations are desired (at least for a while). But, maybe you know a policy that I don't. Anyway, would reputable sellers of those varieties (like Burpee, Baker Creek, etc.) that I had in the varieties section you deleted count as reliable sources for each? According to [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)]] it seems they would be considered reputable, since they match the criteria. So, I might just do that.

{{TFAIMAGE|StJohnsAshfield StainedGlass GoodShepherd-frame crop.jpg|Jesus of Nazareth}}
'''[[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|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]], [[Virgin birth of Jesus|born of a virgin]], performed [[Miracles of Jesus|miracles]], founded the Church, [[Crucifixion of Jesus|died by crucifixion]] as a sacrifice to achieve [[Atonement in Christianity|atonement]], [[Resurrection of Jesus|rose from the dead]], and [[Ascension of Jesus|ascended]] into heaven, from which [[Second Coming|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. [[Jesus in Islam|In Islam]], Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. {{TFAFULL|Jesus}}

Last month's auspicious relaunch of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Outreach/April 2018|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. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard&oldid=837089062#Motion:_Misuse_of_Administrator_Tools Their ruling] resulted in the admonishment of administrator {{u|Future Perfect at Sunrise}} for his involvement in the dispute. The story [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-04-26/Arbitration_report|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 [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/RfC:_Ending_the_system_of_portals|protracted discussion]]. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original [[Portal:Christianity|Christianity Portal]] was created on November 5, 2005 by {{User link|Brisvegas}} and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. {{u|The Transhumanist}} has revived [[WP:WikiProject Portals|WikiProject Portals]] with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

'''[[Operation Auca]]''' was an attempt by five [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical]] [[Christianity|Christian]] [[missionaries]] from the [[United States]] to make contact with the [[Huaorani]] people of the [[Amazon Rainforest|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 [[Protestantism|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 [[Bar (landform)|sandbar]] along the [[Curaray River]], a few miles from Huaorani settlements.  Their efforts culminated on [[January 8]], [[1956]], when all five&mdash;[[Jim Elliot]], [[Nate Saint]], Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and [[Roger Youderian]]&mdash;were attacked and [[spear]]ed by a group of Huaorani warriors.  The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and [[Life (magazine)|''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]]''. ('''[[Operation Auca|more...]]''')

This depiction departs significantly from the historical record of how Mortara was taken—no clergy were present, for example.}}</div>
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|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 [[Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith| 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 [[Ordination|ordained]] in France three years later. In 1870 the [[Kingdom of Italy]] captured Rome during the [[Italian unification|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. {{TFAFULL|Mortara case}}

'''[[List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events]]'''. Predictions of [[apocalypse|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 [[Existential risk from artificial general intelligence|artificial intelligence]]. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by [[zombies]] or [[alien invasion]]. ([[List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events|more...]])

The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to [[Finbarr of Cork]], patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the [[Church of Ireland]] Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of [[Dublin]]. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

'''''When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships''''' is a 1999 book by [[Eric Ludy|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 person|single people]] not to be [[Physical intimacy|physically]] or [[Emotional intimacy|emotionally intimate]] with others, but to wait for the spouse that [[Will of God|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 [[Personal god#Christianity|relationship with God]]. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly [[Chastity|unchaste]] or [[Sexual abuse|sexually abused]] individuals.

[[File:Sretenie.jpg|Сретение Господне ("The Meeting of the Lord"), a depiction of Simeon recognising Jesus at the Temple, from a fifteenth-century Novgorodskye School Russian icon.|right|205px]]
'''''A Song for Simeon''''', is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet [[T.&nbsp;S. Eliot]] (1888–1965). It is [[T. S. Eliot's Ariel poems|one of five poems]] that Eliot contributed to the ''[[Ariel poems (Faber)|Ariel poems]]'' series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by [[Faber and Faber|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 {{lang|la|[[Nunc dimittis]]|italic=no}}, 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.
