[edit] Delete?

I added the factual accuracy and neutrality templates for the section at the bottom, but the more I read it I think the section may just need to be deleted. What does everyone else think? It contains nonsensical ramblings, unreferenced claims, and at best represents an extreme minority viewpoint. I'm familiar with most major Biblical viewpoints and I've never heard of a group that believes the stuff in this section. At the very, very least it needs to be cleaned-up, have all claims cited, and the majority viewpoint presented (since as I said, this would appear to be a minority viewpoint). 71.207.192.47 02:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

IMO, it should go. It's unreferenced, and very clearly sectarian. DrGaellon 04:10, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm interested in working to clean this up; so don't delete. If anyone has pertinent information, some good sources, and so on, let me know. I can start by looking into the archaeology, and as for the meaning of the term I can not only reference Hebrew, but the Jewish sources. Further...can anyone point me to the section on referencing? I don't know how many people quote ancient texts; this will require not just that, but also some insight into the text-criticism on the words. Also, I would like to know what is thought to be sectarian about it...I'm no expert here, so what do your eyes see? It may/not be, I don't know...but I should after doing the research. : ) So...be patient: I'll be working for a while. :) TheResearchPersona 15:46, 19 February 2008 Mountain

[edit] Clean Up Tag

I'm not an expert of the bible; please reference appropriately. Danke.100110100 08:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Divine Commission of Paul Mwazha of Africa, p 83-85

I have trouble categorizing it as the reference for the whole section or the whole article. This is way outside my pervue. Help is required.100110100 10:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Divine Commission of Paul Mwazha

If you need an indeepth understanding, you can access "The Divine Commission of Paul Mwazha of Africa part 1 and part 2" online via Amazon Uk - www.amazon.co.uk . If more information is required, please keep posting on here. This information represents the truth, which is in the bible and its fulfilment; there are more issues linked to this, that will bring the subject to a better light for a layman to understand.

[edit] Meaning of Word

I just checked the Biblical Concordance (sorry not online) the etymology of the word "Messiah" comes from the Hebrew "masiach" from the verb "limshoach" or to anoint. A Masiach is an anointed one. If there are other theological connotations placed upon the word I admit I'm unaware from the simple meaning is not "peaceful one" but "anointed one". 89.0.163.202 15:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Quite true that Messiah means "anointed one" - but Hebrew words, unlike English ones, don't come from verbs. (They come from trilateral roots - three consonants, around which vowels are added to make up different parts of speech). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PiCo (talk • contribs) 09:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Who got Shiloh?

When Joshua divided the Holy Land among the Hebrew, who did get Shiloh, the city where there was the Ark of Covenant? --Minartih (talk) 22:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] German Link

In german wikipedia shiloh is separate as city and person, two different pages. How to link these correctly?--Umrcht (talk) 02:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
