Catholicism, Protestantism...What about Orthodox Christianity? Arch O. La Grigory Deepdelver 07:51, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quote[edit]

Someone need to take a look at the following paragraph and get it updated somehow....

John 3:16 says For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. Implying the word believing in this sense means being saved is based on belief or faith, rather than based on human works, as stated in the wikipedia link that I took form "John 3:16 link" to this "faith link". The Following needs to be added to both these links...

Uhhhhhhhhh[edit]

This shouldn't be part of Lutheranism or whatever it's called. --Salixa (talk) 16:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The disagreement between Tridentine Catholicism & Lutheranism on what faith is is still one of the largest disagreements between them.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 00:26, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At 14:58 (UTC), on the 31st January 2013 a contribution I have made adding a {{See also|Good works|Sola Fide}} template to the Faith_in_Christianity#Lutheranism article/section has been undone by Arthur Rubin (talk) with the following motivation:

Not specific to Lutheranism.

It looks Point of view to me and a violation to Neutral point of view that editors would normally expect from an Administrator.
Comments are welcome. Thanks.   M aurice   Carbonaro  07:53, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, comments are welcome. The "See also"s are possibly relevant somewhere in the article, but not there. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:46, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lead Section[edit]

The contents of the WP:LEAD section is not supported by the references given, and does not seem to reflect a brief summary of the article, as it should. It needs to be rewritten to reflect the contents of the article. Editor2020, Talk 00:23, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

High Importance[edit]

Why is this article classified as "Low importance" on the Wikipedia: WikiProject Christianity scale? This seems all the more surprising given that it is classified as "High Importance" on the Wikipedia: WikiProject Lutheranism scale. Vorbee (talk) 17:13, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

Is this the correct title? It seems to suggest "belief in Christianity" rather than a term as understood in same. Would not Faith (Christianity) be less abstruse? Mannanan51 (talk) 00:16, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Faithfulness[edit]

True representations of ideas and history might better be called faithfulness. I conjecture that the English translation of the Greek word often called believe might more appropriately be called faithfulness, which is truthful representations to the best of one's human ability. Bona fide often means in good faith in Roman Law, meaning to be maximally working towards creating as accurate a representation of an idea or object as possible when presented to others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakewayd (talkcontribs) 00:19, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Faith vs. faith[edit]

This article seems to be conflating two different definition of wikt:faith.

  • A trust or confidence in the intentions or abilities of a person, object, or ideal from prior empirical evidence.
