<br />
A wiki website is a site that allows users to add content, as on an internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. There are a number of wiki websites related to [[Christianity]]. <br />
<br />
The first wiki was set up by Ward Cunningham in 1995. Wikipedia, the most well known wiki website, was started in 2001, and currently contains millions of articles. It contains thousands of articles related to [[religion]]. One of the criticisms that adherents to various religious groups have however is that in attempting to maintain a neutral point of view, some of the teachings of their religion can be "watered-down" or altered. These critics also state that the neutral point of view is in the eye of the beholder. In response to some of these criticism, explicitly [[Christian]] wiki websites have been set up. The majority of them adhere to a specific Christian [[denomination]] or tradition, including most that claim to be non-specifically "Christian" in nature. They tend to fall into three categories, Online [[Bible]] encyclopedias (of varying completeness and denominational emphases), general Christianity wikis without a specific denominational slant, and wikis devoted to a specific Christian denomination or tradition.<br />
<br />
===History of Christian wikis===<br />
<br />
The first Christian wiki was clublet.com, begun by Richard Drake in 2000. Another early Christian wiki was Compass, which was set up by Richard Hall in early 2001. Although still online, this has been essentially empty for a number of years now. In 2004 WikiChristian was set up and was for a time the only Christian wiki that was not specifically denominational. Other wikis developed in early 2005 included Orthodox Wiki (for [[Eastern Orthodoxy]]) and Theopedia (for Reformed Protestantism).<br />
<br />
In more recent times there has been an explosion of Christian wikis, particularly "Bible" wikis dedicated to Biblical Christianity, such as Wikible.<br />
<br />
No Christian wikis have achieved anything like the numerical success of editors that wikipedia has. There are regular users particularly of Theopedia and OrthodoxWiki, and to a lesser extent WikiChristian, Wikible and Christianity Knowledge Base.<br />

<br />
A solemn appeal to God, permitted on fitting occasions (Deut. 6:13; Jer. 4:2), in various forms (Gen. 16:5; 2 Sam. 12:5; Ruth 1:17; Hos. 4:15; Rom. 1:9), and taken in different ways (Gen. 14:22; 24:2; 2 Chr. 6:22). God is represented as taking an oath (Heb. 6:16-18), so also Christ (Matt. 26:64), and Paul (Rom. 9:1; Gal. 1:20; Phil. 1:8). The precept, "Swear not at all," refers probably to ordinary conversation between man and man (Matt. 5:34,37). But if the words are taken as referring to oaths, then their intention may have been to show "that the proper state of Christians is to require no oaths; that when evil is expelled from among them every yea and nay will be as decisive as an oath, every promise as binding as a vow."<br />

As represented by Ezekiel (1-10) and John (Rev. 4, etc.), are the cherubim. They are distinguished from angels (Rev. 15:7); they join the elders in the "new song" (5:8, 9); they warn of danger from divine justice (Isa. 6:3-5), and deliver the commission to those who execute it (Ezek. 10:2, 7); they associate with the elders in their sympathy with the hundred and forty-four thousand who sing the new song (Rev. 14:3), and with the Church in the overthrow of her enemies (19:4).<br />
<br />
They are supposed to represent mercy, as distinguished from justice, mercy in its various instrumentalities, and especially as connected with the throne of God, the "throne of grace."<br />

<hr />
<div>The [[Church]] is defined by different people in different ways.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I say "a church" when I mean a [[church building]], in the same way I say "a light" when I really mean a light-bulb.<br />
<br />
The idea of Church is, in its widest form, indicative of the full communion of believers in the [[Christian]] faith. What this means in practice is variable.<br />
<br />
For example, the Orthodox [[denomination]] teaches that the Church is those within the structure of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]], while the original line of the [[Roman Catholic Church]] was similar up until [[Vatican II]]. Similarly, many Evangelicals believe that the church comprises of Evangelicals alone, with more extreme Evangelicals, believing, along with historic Fundamentalists, that only their branch of Evangelicalism is actually the Church.<br />
<br />
Recent developments in Catholic and Orthodox theology have led to problems. For example, an Orthodox of my acquaintance accepts [[Protestant]]s as Christians, but cannot accept them as part of the Church. The result of this is that 'Church' can no longer always be used to refer to both the structure of a particular group and the communion of all Christian believers.<br />

<br />

<br />
Strictly speaking the Church is not bricks and mortar. It's a community of people - the people of God. Whilst much modern [[Christianity]] is focussed upon the individual relationship with [[God]], this is only half the story. The [[Bible]] reveals a God who works through communities and makes a covenant with his people. [[Jesus]] gathered a new community around himself and instituted a new covenant.<br />
<br />
The followers of Jesus (the Church) are commonly known as Christians.<br />
<br />
The book of [[Ephesians]] is the [[apostle Paul]]'s treatise on church [[theology]] and practise. Chapters 1 to 3 give a summary of Paul's understanding of a body of people chosen by God from before the foundation of the world ([[Ephesians 1:4]]) for the express purpose of making known His wisdom to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places ([[Ephesians 3:10]]). In summary “to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever” ([[Ephesians 3:21]]).<br />
<br />
For us it is an amazing concept to understand that God has planned to reveal His incredible wisdom and glory through us, His people! Chapters 4 to 6 of Ephesians expand on the theme of: 'if this is what we are, then let's start acting like people of God'! <br />

<div>(Gr. parakletos), one who pleads another's cause, who helps another by defending or comforting him. It is a name given by Christ three times to the Holy Ghost (John 14:16; 15:26; 16:7, where the Greek word is rendered "Comforter," q.v.). It is applied to Christ in 1 John 2:1, where the same Greek word is rendered "Advocate," the rendering which it should have in all the places where it occurs. Tertullus "the orator" (Acts 24:1) was a Roman advocate whom the Jews employed to accuse Paul before Felix.<br />
