Revision as of 01:52, 18 November 2004
Is capitalization of pronouns referring to Jesus NPOV? -- Zoe
- No, it would probably be better to lower case them. Fixing... Wesley
- If you mean "Jesus" or "Christ" then they are proper nouns and should be capitalized. Thats grammer not POV. Dainamo 12:21, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Pronouns, not names. As in do we write, in the Christian manner, "...at the time of His crucifixion..." or in the same way we would write about any other crucified person "...at the time of his crucifixion..." Misplaced Pages style does not capitalize pronouns for monarchs, either. -- Jmabel 16:43, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)
- Thank you (slaps own head) I can see that now. :) Dainamo
Which movie of Ben-Hur?
From the article: "In the movie Ben-Hur, Balthasar is an old man who goes back to Palestine to see the former child Jesus become an adult."
Which movie of Ben-Hur? There were several. -- Jmabel 19:08, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)
- Maybe it is in the novel, but I don't remember the details. It certainly is in the Charlton Heston version. -- Error 00:49, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Isn't a characterization of the Christian mythology of Balthasar that references Ben-Hur ajust a little... I'm looking for the tactful word... help me here... The development of the details of the Three Wise Men from the merest hint in the N.T. is actually a serious and interesting chapter of the history of ideas and of iconography. ---Wetman 11:29, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
dubious addition
Someone recently added to the article "believed to be the very bright Jupiter-Saturn conjunction)". Believed by whom? By the wise men? By the author of the Bible story? By some random group of Christians? There may be some relevant individual who holds this belief, but I son't know who. Most scientists -- those who would study a Jupiter-Saturn conjunction -- presumably reject the historicity of the account of the Wise Men visiting the infant Jesus. Unless someone turns this into something clearer within 48 hours, I intend simply to delete it. -- Jmabel (17:34 PDT, Sep 25, 2004; failed to timestamp this when I wrote it)
48 hours have passed, no clarification, I'm removing it. -- Jmabel 02:36, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)
- Justified. Part of the long tradition for establishing a "historicity" of all the Nativity events— a chronicle that just can't be neutrally discussed at Misplaced Pages. --Wetman 11:29, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
"Astrologers"
"...the Three Kings, traditionally refer to the astrologers from the east, mentioned in the New Testament, in the Gospel of Matthew..." Notice how the use of italics gives the impression that the Gospel of Matthew is being quoted. A direct quote would have been so plain and clear: what is the reason for mystification here? --Wetman 11:29, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- What an amazingly trivial matter to raise a formal dispute over. Assuming, of course, that is what he/she is disputing. User:CheeseDreams, would you please clarify here on the talk page exactly what you are disputing, or I will feel free simply to remove those labels. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:52, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)
