Image aspect

Please ensure that images you upload are in their native aspect ratio. I removed several of your images that were glaringly vertically compressed from the Dark Forces article. When taking screenshots from DOS games, keep in mind that they do not always use a 4:3 ratio - Dark Forces is in a 4:2.5 pixel ratio. Alvis 05:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Progressive Seventh-day Adventists

Tonicthebrown, you didn't answer my question. There are many gradations in the experience and faith of Seventh-day Adventists. Is it wrong to explain those differences? Many Seventh-day Adventists reject the prophet status of Ellen G. White. Many repudiate the doctrine of vicarious substitutionary atonement. What great difference is there between the Adventists that reject many of the foundational doctrines that Ellen White said were essential yet stay in the Church and those that leave the Church for the same doctrinal differences? --e.Shubee 14:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your reverting of Seventh-day Adventist Church 04:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add unhelpful and non-constructive information to Wikipedia, as you did to Seventh-day Adventist Church. Your edits could be considered vandalism, and they have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. I am placing this here because there is a current discussion on Talk:Seventh-day Adventist Church which you are refusing to wait till the discussion has run its course and the editors come to a consensus. So far, the leaning is against your edit. Please consider this a warning and await the consensus vote.

Regarding you question, I commented on my talk page where you posted the question. --Maniwar (talk) 04:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Evolutionism

"Inferences erroneously drawn from facts observed in nature have, however, led to supposed conflict between science and revelation; and in the effort to restore harmony, interpretations of Scripture have been adopted that undermine and destroy the force of the word of God. Geology has been thought to contradict the literal interpretation of the Mosaic record of the creation. Millions of years, it is claimed, were required for the evolution of the earth from chaos; and in order to accommodate the Bible to this supposed revelation of science, the days of creation are assumed to have been vast, indefinite periods, covering thousands or even millions of years.

Such a conclusion is wholly uncalled for. The Bible record is in harmony with itself and with the teaching of nature. Of the first day employed in the work of creation is given the record, "The evening and the morning were the first day." Genesis 1:5. And the same in substance is said of each of the first six days of creation week. Each of these periods Inspiration declares to have been a day consisting of evening and morning, like every other day since that time. In regard to the work of creation itself the divine testimony is, "He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast." Psalm 33:9. With Him who could thus call into existence unnumbered worlds, how long a time would be required for the evolution of the earth from chaos? In order to account for His works, must we do violence to His word?" ED Ch 14, P 128,129

You evolutionists, you progressives, you need to cling to the word of inspiration before you end up in the ellenwhite.org club.

Ironic timing! Tonic, I'm just letting you know that I posted a message on Rush4hire's talk page explaining some important Wikipedia policies, regarding edits on the Three Angels' Messages article. Cheers, Colin MacLaurin 10:01, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Intertestamental period

An editor has nominated Intertestamental period, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Intertestamental period and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 23:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
