The bible as history?
This article quotes the christian bible as history? JesusCantSave — Preceding undated comment added 07:35, 4 March 2004 (UTC)
- Actually, whether you believe that Jesus can save or no, the Bible is a historical document and is supported by several other historical documents. Ancient Near Eastern literature from many different nations is helpful in determining the truth of history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justct40 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Caption needs work
The caption of the illustration needs attention. If a church can be a Christian building of worship then it also can not be a Christian building of worship. Moriori 07:50, 4 March 2004 (UTC)
Terminology
Some interesting bit of trivia: "traditional" French protestant churches (i.e. those installed early on, as opposed to Christian denominations imported in the 19th or 20th centuries from the United States) call their places of worship "temple", not churches; I think that the idea was to distinguish themselves from the Roman Catholic Church. Similarly, they don't say messe (mass), but office. David.Monniaux 16:19, 15 April 2005 (UTC)

– This is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. 2600:1700:6180:6290:7041:F0A:8E8A:22E4 (talk) 03:24, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose 1st but move Catholic Church to Church. No – never mind – that should be Christian denomination. Oops, sorry, make that Church (congregation). Hmm, no, that should be Christian Church. Temple, anyone? — BarrelProof (talk) 04:19, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose, both the building and the congregation are accurately called 'church'. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:10, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose, see Church (congregation). 162 etc. (talk) 20:42, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. The claim of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC seems doubtful (see the Church (disambiguation) DAB page) and no evidence has been cited to support it. Feline Hymnic (talk) 11:57, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
