I have a question when in the Bible does it first mention that Jesus is the Christ? I just don't know and i would like to know.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.110.101.180 (talk) 13:31, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I propose that Theologian of Christianity be merged into Christian theology. It appears the former page is essentially a content fork (and borderline POV fork, given its overemphasis on Calvin) of the latter, and any non-duplicated content can be merged here. PohranicniStraze (talk) 16:42, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

I think it is better not to be merged into Christian theology because the contents of two are different in the theological perspective. Please do not put two into one. 칼빈500 (talk) 01:22, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

I would oppose merging these two pages - one describes Christian Theology and the other a Christian Theologian - different. As noted in other Talk sections, the Christian theology article is very long and probably not a good idea to make it longer. Epinoia (talk) 14:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

• 'Merge to Systematic theology. According to the definition of the article, "Theologian of Christianity is defined as a scholar who studies systematically the truth of Christianity." But that is, in fact, Systematic theology, and that article contains a list of systematic theologians. StAnselm (talk) 23:10, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Paragraph "Biblical inspiration", oldid 854387162, 10th August

Good evening, as it was widely described for the oldid 854387162, I merely propose to:

1. add a source for the Greek expression "'graphḕ theòpneustos". In the WP:article it is defined as "unusual", even if it is part of the tradition.
2. Most of Christians believe in the Holy Trinity. This affects the matter of the whole article', so that for "non-trinitarian Christians" we need a specific article, or a closing paragraph in this one.
3. I WISH to insert that New Testament mainly differ from the Old Testament by virtue of the narration of Jesus Christ God. The evangelists and the apostles were not only inspired by the angels and gifts of the Holy Spirit God (like authors and persons of the Old Testament), but also were faced in front of the words and works of Jesus Christ God, having in Him the second Person and possible cause of divine inspiration.
   • Acts of the Apostles, Apocalypse of John, the Epistles, are conditioned by the teachings of Jesus, even if they narrate facts that happened after His death and resurrection.
   • The descent of the Holy Spirit God on the apostles, celebrated in the Solemnity of Pentecost, concerns the divine inspiration of the Bible, because Holy Spirit has inspired other Christian writings, in addition to the Bible.
   • we have to specify that the Holy Trinity and the divine inspiration of the Bible don't exclude, but on the contrary opens to the belief in the existence of other written texts, sharing the same divine inspiration. It is true for the Catholic Church, and it also may be true for other Christian faiths.

@ @StAnselm: If someone agree with some of those points, he may directly modify ([v/ or delete]) parts of the paragraph.Micheledisaverio (talk) 16:47, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

It's not clear what the connection is between the Trinity and inspiration is, and so the additions appear to be original synthesis - most descriptions of inspiration connect it just to the Holy Spirit. StAnselm (talk) 00:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Micheledisaverio, your comments reflect your deeply felt personal understanding of Christianity, but it is your personal understanding. The article attempts to be more objective and inclusive, presenting the positions of established theologians and doctrines. There are already sections in the article on the Trinity (2.1.4) and God the Son (2.3.3.1), so references do not need to be added in other sections, such as Biblical Inspiration (1.2). There is nothing wrong with your beliefs, but they do not belong in a general article on Christian Theology.

Heading for the Ecclesiology: Church section

The heading for the section Ecclesiology: Church does not appear in this article when the table above it is shown (which is the default); the heading only appears when that table is hidden. I tried fixing this issue, but could not do it. If anyone is able to solve this problem, please do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aisen14 (talk • contribs) 03:28, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
