Hello $4. I saw your changes to $1 and saw that you were new to {{SITENAME}}, and so I wanted to leave you a warm welcome. {{SITENAME}} is a collaboratively built encyclopedia that documents the doctrinal, historical and literary content of the Bible. Using a wiki style approach, content can be collaboratively built in a way that allows both [[Bible Wiki:Community Portal|Christian fellowship]] and Bible study as well as opportunities to share the Gospel to those outside of Christ. If you would like to learn more [[Biblicalapedia:About|about us]], [[Biblicalapedia:Beliefs|our beliefs]], or why we are a [[Biblicalapedia:Wiki|wiki]], click the links to read more. We are not only an encyclopedia and wiki, but a Christian Ministry dedicated to providing tools for the study of the Bible and creating a collaborative study environment for both Christians and non-christians alike. All of our content is from a [[Biblicalapedia:Biblical Point of View|biblical point of view]], in contrast to websites like Wikipedia. If you claim to be a Christian then I welcome you to editing in joining in fellowship with other believers, and hope through the site you will have chances to study the Bible and to minister it. If you are not a Christian and have questions about the Bible, or would like to contribute edit please do so. I and the other admins will answer all of your questions with gentleness and strictly on a biblical basis- but be warned that if you do not trust the Bible as the source of what Christians believe, then you will not understand anything that you are told<ref>1 Corinth 2:14</ref>.

Hi there. I’m an Administrator of {{SITENAME}}. Seeing your participation at $1 I wanted to welcome you to the site. Not only is [[Bible Wiki:About|Bible Wiki]] an encyclopedia, but we are also a community and ministry. For Christians this website provides a unique way to both study, and share the Bible simultaneously through both writing articles and commenting on relevant discussion. Even if you are not a Christian, you are more than welcome to comment on discussion and ask your questions about the [[Bible]] or add accurate historical information [[Bible Wiki:Beliefs|drawn from the Bible]].

If you have any questions about editing or the Bible please do not hesitate to let me know on [[$2|message wall]] or if its a Bible Question we encourage you to post it on our [[Board:Bible Questions|forum board]]

Nevertheless Bible Wiki is striving to become the Internet’s most comprehensive database covering the Bible and its contents, from a [[Bible Wiki:Biblical Point of View|Biblical Point of View]]. In order to achieve this goal we need [[Bible Wiki:Community Portal|users]] like you to help us write and develop our content. Our only rule is that all articles are written from a [[Bible Wiki:Biblical Point of View|Biblical Point of View]], and follow some basic grammatical structure (see the link for more information). We wish to provide an alternative to the secular bias found in such resources as Wikipedia in order to bring glory to [[God]], the ultimate author of the Bible.

We have several articles on aspects of Biblical doctrine, [[Category:persons|persons]], [[Category:events|events]], [[Category:Cities|cities]], [[Category:Nations|nations]] and the [[Category:Books|literary composition]] of its [[List of Books of the Bible|books]]. We also have programs like our [[Bible Wiki/Liturgical Calendar|Liturgical Calendar]], and monthly [[Board:Bible Study Forum|Bible reading]] that you can use to aide in reading your Bible more often. Check out our [[Bible Wiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]] for ideas on how to get involved.
