A total revamp of {{rtoc}}WikiChristian's system of referencing the Bible is underway which includes uploading contains the entire Bible verse-by-verse in the following versions: * Hebrew* Greek* Latin* King James Version (Authorized Version) (KJV)* World English Bible, King James, Greek, Hebrew and Latin.Version (WEB)

The discussion page [[WikiChristian talk:==Displaying a Bible]] is the page that details the discussion that has been occurring regarding this. The process is being performed by the bot [[User:BotUm|BotUm]] and is currently in its early stages.verse==

For an example of Any verse can be displayed on any page as can be seen from the new system see [[Biblefollowing examples:John 1:1|John 1:1]].

Once the uploading has been completed, this page will be rewritten : Typing in detail explaining how '''<nowiki>''{{Bible verse|John|3|16|lang=WEB}}''</nowiki>''' displays the following: ''{{Bible can be referenced and verses displayed anywhere in WikiChristian.verse|John|3|16|lang=WEB}}''

: Typing in '''<nowiki>''{{Bible verse|Genesis|1|1|lang=Hebrew}}''</nowiki>''' displays the following: ''{{Bible verse|Genesis|1|1|lang=Hebrew}}'' : Typing in '''<nowiki>''{{Bible verse|John|1|1|lang=Greek}}''</nowiki>''' displays the following: ''{{Bible verse|John|1|1|lang=Greek}}'' : Typing in '''<nowiki>''{{Bible verse|Matthew|6|9|lang=Latin}}''</nowiki>''' displays the following: ''{{Bible verse|Matthew|6|9|lang=Latin}}'' : Typing in '''<nowiki>''{{Bible verse|2 Timothy|3|16|lang=KJV}}''</nowiki>''' displays the following: ''{{Bible verse|2 Timothy|3|16|lang=KJV}}'' ==Books, Chapters and Verses== Each book of the Bible has a dedicated information article, for example [[Genesis]] and [[Book of Revelation]]. A list of the books of the Bible can be found at the [[Bible]] page. Each chapter of each book of the Bible has a dedicated information article, for example [[Genesis 1]] and [[Matthew 16]]. Many of these articles are empty stubs needing information about the content of the chapter, textual variants and different interpretations of theological themes.  Each verse of each chapter has a dedicated information article, for example [[Genesis 1:1]] and [[John 11:35]]. Most of these articles are empty stubs at the moment needing information about the meaning / interpretations of the verse. ==Name-spaces== Book and chapter information articles are in the '''Main''' name-space. Thus when searching for a random page you may be directed to an article about a book or chapter. Verses are in the '''Bible''' name-space. Thus when searching for a random page you will not be directed to a verse. Instead you can click on "Random verse" to be directed to a random verse. Each verse does have a redirect page in the '''main''' name-space, for example [[John 3:16]] redirects to [[Bible:John 3:16]]. The actual text of each verse is stored in the appropriate version name-space. These name-spaces include '''KJV''', '''WEB''', '''Greek''', '''Hebrew''' and '''Latin'''. Thus, for example, the King James Version text of [[John 1:1]] is stored in the page [[KJV:John 1:1]]. ==Canon== We recognize that different denominations do not have identical versions of the Bible. Protestant churches recognize only 66 books to represent the whole Bible. Roman Catholicism has a number of additional books, and Eastern Orthodoxy has a number of additional books again. At a bare minimum however all denominations agree on at least the 66 books recognized by Protestant denominations and thus we have made the decision to accept these books in the '''Bible''' name-space. The other books, which are sometimes known as apocryphal works, exist in the '''Text''' name-space because of their disputed canonicity. {{returnto}} [[Christianity]] -> [[Christian literature, art, music and media]] -> [[Christianity and the internetInternet]] -> [[Christian wikis]] -> [[Project:About|WikiChristian]] ->  [[WikiChristian:Community Portal|Community Portal]][[Category:WikiChristian]]
