Different from what?[edit]

This article begins with this:

Servant of God is a title given to individuals who are members of different religions,

Different from what? (And I don't mean that I want an answer here on the talk page.) Michael Hardy (talk) 01:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Or is it "different TO what?" :) Should it perhaps read, "'Servant of God'" is a title used by a number of religions to refer to an individual..." hmm... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.2.186.231 (talk) 08:04, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"different TO something" seems to be widespread among the British; "different FROM something" is standard in America. Michael Hardy (talk) 00:08, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing wrong with the sentence. It is not different from or to anything. You are taking it out of context. The context is, "members of different religions". If you want, it can be replaced with "members of various religions" instead. – SMasters (talk) 00:26, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced it. – SMasters (talk) 00:27, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article requires disambiguation, as regards to "different religions." Keep link to Catholic portal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Messiaindarain (talk • contribs) 10:31, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article flat-out has mistakes. Is anyone watching?[edit]

This article has flat-out mistakes in it. Let's see:

Article describes that the phrase appears four times in the Old Testament. It then gives five citations, one of which is New Testament.
It is very nice that whatever translation you are using contains the phrase "servant of God" four times in the Old Testament. Remember that in most English translations, "God" is usually the translation of the Hebrew name Elohim. The Hebrew name referred to as the Tetragrammaton is often translated into English as "the Lord", rather than "God". But the phrase "servant of the Lord," using that name of God, is probably more frequent than the phrase whose translation you are using—and it is, of course, the same thing. I don't have a Bible concordance at hand, but at minimum Deuteronomy 34:5 and Joshua 1:1 both use that phrase, referring to Moses. Additionally, Joshua 24:29 uses that phrase to refer to Joshua. The Jewish commentators go to great lengths to point out that by the end of his life Joshua earns the title previously held only by his master and teacher.

Is there someone who regularly monitors this page willing to fix it? StevenJ81 (talk) 19:57, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why letting out Judaism?[edit]

why does this article not mention Judaism as they are the perfect servants of G-d?? --תנא קמא (talk) 18:52, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As in every part of Wikipedia, what is needed in this article is reliable, secondary sources (see WP:RS) to support content. And you can add content supported by such sources to the article yourself. --JBL (talk) 19:14, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
