[edit] Speedy delete

I disagree that this page should be up for speedy deletion. It is not nonsense and should at least go the standard deletion route. --Alabamaboy 02:51, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's not even a VfD candidate. The salt of the earth is a very notable concept in Christianity. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:53, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It was a speedy delete candidate b/c someone thought is was patent nonsense. I removed that delete notice. --Alabamaboy 03:00, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ya... I know :) you beat me to it! I think it's a pretty good attempt at explaining the phrase, which is quite notable in Christian circles. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:03, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I totally agree. While the article does need to be cleaned up, it is better than most new articles in dealing with a subject. --Alabamaboy 03:11, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Categorization

Is there an appropriate category for the article?--Cyberjunkie 03:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There must be a Christianity one. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:17, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bible version

I have used the King James Version, since studies show it is the most literal translation. Nathan Larson 03:23, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

Shall we set up a disambig between Salt of the Earth and Salt of the earth? Nathan Larson 03:36, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Verifiability

I added to reference to David Bloch's article in order to confirm the historical information about salt being used as a salary for Roman soldiers. Nathan Larson 03:39, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
