From the Study of Genesis
Hey, this is User:Opensourcejunkie from the Study of Genesis. Thanks for stopping by && saying 'hi'! Are you the one who added the "notable verses" section in the Creation lesson? (whoever it was was not logged in at the time) If so, thanks for the contrib; it's nice to finally see some activity in the Department of Biblical Studies. No one's been around since last year.

Hope to see more edits!

P.S. where in England are you studying?

Hey, btw, you know anything about hermeneutics?
 * --Opensourcejunkie 14:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey Saz :) I just got done reading the flurry of entries you've written all over the Center, and I must say it's good to have someone else on board :)  thanks.

The reason I asked about Hermeneutics is because I'm trying to develop the department as a whole, and Hermeneutics is an area that is severely lacking at present. Since I'm not an expert on the subject, I thought that you (being a theology student :) might be. However, with the advent of Marks' Gospel, I doubt you'll have time to develop a study of hermeneutics. Of course, perhaps you have some friends from Sutton with similar expertise? You'll have to pardon my attempt to exploit your connections; I'm just trying to build this severely undernourished department ;-).

Well, I gotta go to work - I look forward to working with you!. God bless :),

Yeah, I'm out of school and the editing is going slow, so I can understand the pressure on you :) I've set a goal to finish Genesis by the end of summer, so I'm in no rush to complete my own project; no worries :)

About the Computer
About the computer. If you do need a new one, I have a couple of old lap tops sitting in my room that a friend donated to me. I've fixed all of the hardware problems (turns out they just had some dead CMOS batteries); now I'm just having problems booting the things. Perhaps your dad would have better luck with one? They're Thinkpad 600's, designed for Windows 98, so you know that they're old. But Linux has been known to revitalize old machines incredibly, so perhaps you might like one? Get you through college, anyway.

Let me know, either way.

P.S., I'm gonna set up a "prayer requests" section on the Biblical Studies' main page. I'll throw your computer need up there too, if you like. --Opensourcejunkie 10:26, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer ^^. I can get back to you on that on Monday, when I try fixing my computer with this memory. If it doesn't work, then I may take you up on it =P. But are you sure about the postage? getting a laptop form America to the UK might be a lot =/ I dunno. Anywho, cheers for putting my computer on the prayer list XP. I've realised I've left one of my Mark textbooks at school over the Easter weekend, so it looks like Mark can only fully start going on Tuesday, but that should be okay ^_^. Oh yeah, and Happy Easter to you ^^ --Saz909 10:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you got your computer working! (and I'm sorry you got Vista working, yuck! ;-) I hope you do get some more RAM, 'cause Vista's gonna need it :-).  The new old computer offer still stands though, if anything goes wrong.

And it'll be good to have Mark in full swing, all though don't sacrifice school work over it. Thanks again for editing (and happy Easter to you too),

Ugh, I spoke too soon. It's mucked itslef up again, it's a miracle I got it working in the first place. Looks like a motherboard failure due to a power surge >.>. Still, I have the downstairs one for a while having chucked my bro off it ^^. Should be some small updates now, as I have the books =] --Saz909 18:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Would you like me to send you one of my laptops? Again, I haven't been able to get it to boot yet, but you might have more luck with it than me.

Re: a question
Hey, Saz - you put your entire comment in nowiki tags, so I couldn't see your signature! Good thing I know you're the only one editing Mark right now :)

Basically, to change a page's name, you have to use the "move" tab at the top of the page. Now I haven't actually moved anything myself yet (I'm fairly new at this too :), but from what I've read, the new page will be created, and the old page will become a redirect to the new. That way, any links still pointing to the old page will redirect to the new. (saves some hassle)

active participants
Hey, you should put your name on the "active participants" section of the Department of Biblical Studies' main page. I'm getting lonely up there ;)

Re: Defense of the Resurrection
actually, that would be really great. Basically, I'm not planning to contribute anything to the Department of Apologetics for a while; I basically set it up hoping that someone else would :) (right now I want to focus on Genesis, and a couple other small projects. btw, I could use your feedback on one such small project, Salvation). It's not complete yet, but there's a good amount of content to it at this point.)

So yeah, anything you can add to that department, even if only a framework for others to work off of, would be great!

how's your computer
Hey, Saz! I'm just stopping by to see how your computer's doing. Is it still inoperable? My offer of a laptop is still open; just let me know :)

ttyl,
 * --Opensourcejunkie 15:40, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Glad to hear it's getting fixed. And hey, you don't need to apologize for not doing edits; you've already done so much.  Actually, I haven't been doing many myself; I've been distracted by this Draft policy on religious content.  Good luck with the coursework!


 * God bless,

just sayin' 'hi'
hi!

I just got back from a VERY long hiatus - summer has been crazy busy. How are you doing? Just found out that you're a "she", my bad :-).

Apologetics wiki
Considering you're interested in wikis and are a theology student, I thought you might be interested in apologetics wiki. It would be great if you'd like to help out.

Moving forward in 2011
Hi I have been leaving posts in Discussion pages on the Biblical Studies page looking for a way to move forward. Biblical Studies seems to have been active in 2008 and then stalled. I think that part of that stall is due to the "policy" of having material conform to a "literal normative" outlook which tends to reduce academic inquiry. I am planning on starting a Department Project on the Synoptic Gospels which will definitely not consider the text of the gospels involved to be "inerrant" but before starting that I am leaving this message on the discussion page of all noted "active participants". It could be that I should set up the seminar/discussion somewhere else in Wikiversity and I need some direction. --Bill A 15:01, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
