'''Jesus Christ''' is the only Son of [[God]] and prophesied [[Messiah]] who, at the appropriate time, was sent by his [[God the Father|Father]] and became a man to be the [[Propitiation|satisfaction]] for the [[anger of God]] toward us because of our [[sin]], and to reveal to us the nature of God through his human person (1 John 4:10; 2 Corinthians 5:19).

Jesus' major goal is to reveal his Father to those who will repent and trust in him as their only way of salvation from his Father's anger at them for their sin. Speaking to his disciples, Jesus says,
{{cquote|'''John 14:1-15'''<br /><u>Believers will be in his Father's house</u><br />Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. “And you know the way where I am going.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?”<br /><u>Jesus himself is the only way people can access his Father and his Father's house</u><br />Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.<br /><u>If you know Jesus, you know his Father</u><br />“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.}}

By the power of the [[Holy Spirit]], Jesus was conceived in the [[womb]] of the virgin [[Virgin Mary|Mary]], and became man in an event known as the [[Incarnation]], as referred to in Isaiah 7:14. Indeed, the calendar itself reflects this truth, with the traditional calculation of Jesus’ birth marking the first century A.D., that is, "''in the year of Our Lord…''." The [[John the Apostle|apostle John]] wrote in his gospel the following regarding Jesus Christ: "''For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life''" (John 3:16).
{{trinity}}
When he was about thirty, Jesus was baptized by [[John the Baptist]], inaugurating his ministry. Jesus of [[Nazareth]] is the Christ or Messiah, prophesied in the [[Old Testament]] (Greek: Χριστός; [[Aramaic]]: 'משיחא'). Jesus proclaimed that “[t]he time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe in the Gospel.”<ref>Mark 1:14-15.</ref> As signs of these truths, Jesus performed various miracles.

However, not all who heard the Lord believed in him, and, because he “was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God”, some sought to put him to death.<ref>John 5:18.</ref> Jesus was handed over to the Roman governor [[Pontius Pilate]] and crucified. But it was through his redemptive death, as the [[Holy Scripture|scriptures]] had foretold, that Jesus reconciled mankind with God.<ref>Romans 5:10.</ref> And so, on the third day, in a truly historical event, Jesus physically rose from the dead, making possible salvation and eternal life for those who believe in him. Indeed, his very name, ''Yeshua'' (Hebrew 'יהושע') means "[[Salvation]]" and is the concatenated form of ''Yahoshua'', ‘[[YHWH]] is salvation’. After appearing to his disciples on various occasions, Jesus ascended to Heaven, where he acts as our mediator, assuring, by his constant intercession, the permanent outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Hi SJ - Wanted to check in and see if some of us could meet with you for additional questions about wikislices. For example, who builds the slices? Also, who insures the content is accurate and appropriate? How do those slices get deployed on the XO machines? Do teachers have a way to request or build a wikislice themselves (would he or she just request it on the wikipedia wikislices project page?) Thanks! [[User:Annegentle|annegentle]] 13:54, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
: Right now wikislices are determined by the editors of the relevant page; and they pull the latest content from the wiki in question. Future features include identifying specific revisions of pages, having a 'reviewed' flag for each article+revision, and contribution to a wikislice from an XO (say, by posting a set of words + a topic to a requests-for-wikislice page). [[user:ZdenekBroz|Zdenek]] is a good person to talk to about how that might work. We're having a wikislice related discussion tomorrow aft EST, if you're around. --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 22:58, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
Thanks for the info and pointer to [[user:ZdenekBroz|Zdenek]], very useful, especially the bundles of xol files, good to know and peruse. Michael Priestly and a few others at IBM wanted on the call but I probably can't get everyone notified by tomorrow, but I'm hoping Monday would work. [[user:Cjl|Cjl]] is also interested so please do send call info for tomorrow's call, and also, please check availability on Monday (sorry for repeat requests but the interest is high). Thanks!

=== Infancy ===
The [[Gospels]] tell us that Jesus was born in [[Bethlehem]] of [[Judea]] to a young virgin named [[Virgin Mary|Mary]], by the [[Holy Spirit]]. [[Gospel of Luke|Luke's account]] of the gospel relates that the angel [[Gabriel]] visited Mary in order to announce that she had been chosen to bear the Son of God (Luke 1:26–38). A survey of the [[Roman Empire]] was ordered by [[Augustus|Caesar Augustus]], which caused Mary and [[Joseph (father of Jesus)|Joseph]] to leave Nazareth and go to the home of Joseph's forebears - to the house of [[David|King David]]. After Jesus' birth, they were forced to use a [[manger]] for a crib because the town's inn was full. According to Luke 2:8–20, an [[angel]] spread word of Jesus' birth to several shepherds who came to visit the newborn. Matthew also tells of the "Magi" ([[Zoroastrianism|Zoroastrian]] priests) who brought many gifts to the infant Jesus (among which were [[gold]], [[frankincense]], and [[myrrh]])<ref>Note: This has led to the incorrect assumption that there were only three Magi, whereas the actual number is not given.</ref> after following a star which they believed was an indication that the [[Messiah]], or King of the Jews, had been born.


== Kids encyclopedia ==
Jesus' early home was the town of [[Nazareth]] in [[Galilee]], and except for an escape to [[Egypt]] in early childhood to avoid [[Herod the Great|Herod's]] massacre of the other male infants, all other events in the Gospels take place in ancient Israel.


Dear Samuel,
=== At Twelve Years Old ===
The account of Jesus' parents finding him in the temple impressing the "teachers" with his knowledge of the [[Old Testament|scripture]] is the only detailed event between Jesus' infancy and adult life that is known.
{{cquote|'''Luke 2:41–51'''<br />Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when He became twelve, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast; and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents were unaware of it, but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and went a day’s journey; and they began looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances. When they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem looking for Him. Then, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You.” And He said to them, “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?” But they did not understand the statement which He had made to them. And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.}}


Thanks for taking the time to send me a comment on my blog. Im available most days of the week, as I currently am working for myself. Im based in Swansea in the UK. So phoning maybe rather on the expensive. However I would be happy to talk over skype. If you are willing to suggest a time I will be happy to chat. Preferably I would prefer to be in bed by 3am here.
=== Ministry ===
==== Baptism ====
[[Image:Jesus' Baptism.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Jesus' Baptism]]
The [[gospel of Mark]] begins with the [[baptism]] of Jesus by [[John the Baptist]], which appears to be the beginning of Jesus' public ministry. Jesus came to the [[Jordan River|River Jordan]], where John was preaching and baptizing people in the crowd. After Jesus had been baptized, and had risen up out of the water, Mark states Jesus 'saw the heavens torn apart and the Holy Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from [[heaven]], 'You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased' (Mark 1:10–11). Luke adds the chronological anchor that John the Baptist had begun preaching in the fifteenth year of [[Tiberius]] Caesar, approximately in 28 AD (Luke 3:1) and that Jesus was thirty years old when he was baptized (Luke 3:23).


So if you could give me an email back at jonhurlock/at/gmail /.com or add me on skype using jon_hurlock (yes theres and underscore in there, so please dont remove that, just remove slashes from the gmail account.).
'''The meaning of Baptism for Jesus:'''


Kind regards,
Jesus insisted over the protests of John that He be baptized at the hands of John. John's protests are natural enough as John's baptism was for those who were sinners, and implied in baptism was the understanding that the baptizer was somehow greater than the one baptized. John believed that he needed to be baptized by Jesus and not the other way around. But Jesus' understanding of His being baptized was two-fold:"Baptism" meant suffering unto death, and it implied that His impending mission was to be in behalf and in place of the real sinners, the humanity for whom He would die. Jesus would later use "baptism" in the first sense when he said to disciples, " Can you be baptized with the baptism which I will undergo?" The Spirit coming down on the Son in the form of a Dove (Yonah = "Jonah" in Hebrew), and the voice of the Father, "This is My Beloved Son" was the Divine empowerment, and authorization for Jesus' mission to come entailing His sacrificial death, three days, not in the belly of the fish, but in the bowels of the earth, and after that, resurrection. As Baptism for Jesus meant, looking forward, His joining sinful humanity to the point of bearing their sins to the death of the cross, so the later New Testament understands, looking backward, that sinners believing in Jesus are also to join Him in His death through the waters of baptism "in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" - according to the command of the Risen Christ.

==== Temptation ====
After this baptism, according to Matthew, Jesus was brought into the desert by God where he fasted for forty days nights. During this period, the [[Satan]] appeared before him and tried three times to tempted Jesus into demonstrating his supernatural powers as a proof of his divine status; each temptation was refused by Jesus, with a scriptural quote from the Book of [[Deuteronomy]].


== Google SoC mentor for E-mail activity ==
Jesus then began to preach. [[Gospel of John|John]] describes three different [[passover]] feasts that Jesus attended, thus implying that his ministry lasted three years.
The individual who wrote the Email_Activity wiki page asked me whether or not I would be interested in becoming a SoC mentor. I created a small page about me at PhilipVanHoof.

'''The reason behind the Temptation:'''


== Hola! ==
The Temptation occured just as told in the Gospels. But behind the happening, another message lies revealing the identity of Jesus to a people who would understand it. At the foothill of Mt. Hermon, inbetween the servile Roman enfatuated people of Tiberius to the south west of the Sea of Galilee, and the rabidly nationalistic, anti- Roman Zealots of Gamla to the north east, Jesus asked His disciples who He was. The Messiah, the Son of the Living God, was the answer. And Jesus explained who He was and why he had come in terms that fit their experience - not to rule and throw out the Romans, nor to uphold their ways and laws but rather something on a different plane all together - to give His life settling it on the cross.


Hi! As usual you're monitoring [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]]! :) Great!
To a later believing people, those who were not Jewish, who He was would be understood in terms fitting to who they were - He had come the Second Adam, to give His life and to provide new life to those who were not Jewish, but also including the Jews, to all the lost and wandering children of Adam.


Yes, I'm coming back to life and noticed Lauren's notice in my talk page so I decided to answer that one asap, and then try to fully resurrect. I'll keep you posted (was writing en email to re-introduce myself). [[User:Xavi|Xavi]] 21:19, 14 January 2008 (EST)
In the Temptation, it is the those who knew the Old Testament, the physical children of Abraham primarily, who could see in the long range, and not primarily dictated to by the political passions of the moment, and who could wonder who they were and where they had gone wrong, and wonder also who would be the One to take them out. It is they, Israel, who had been in the wilderness for 40 years, and they that had succumbed to the temptations of selling out for food and drink, though they were a "Son" whom God with a strong arm and outstreched hand had taken out of the bondage of Egypt, they had turned traitor, driven by their own lust and pride. And here now, in Jesus, was One who resisted the devil in the wilderness, also "for forty", prefering the will of God as His food rather than all the world could offer, Who was He? He was Israel! The only true one left, the faithful remnent spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, the servant true to the end. As the letter to the Hebrews saw, "Though He were a Son yet learned He obedience by the things He suffered, and being made perfect, He become the author of Eternal life...". This is the understanding of the Gospel of Matthew, in interpreting a passage from Hosea which was manifestly speaking of Israel the people and applying it to Jesus who also came out of Egypt with His parents at the death of Herod, " Out of Egypt have I called my Son". Who was Jesus? He was Israel who had ''not'' failed come to redeem Israel who had, and also out of all the peoples of the world.


== Video - Human Computation ==
==== Disciples and Apostles ====
[[Image:Jesus5.jpg‎|thumb|left|100px|Jesus Christ (Conceptualization)]]
The larger part of this was directed towards his closest followers, the [[apostles]], although all of his followers were considered [[disciples of Jesus|disciples]]. At the highest point of his ministry, Jesus attracted disciples and audiences numbering in the thousands; in particular in the area of Galilee. Many of Jesus' most well-known teachings were given during the [[Sermon on the Mount]], such as the [[Beatitudes]] and the [[Lord's Prayer]]. Jesus often used parables in his rhetorical technique, such as the [[Parable of the Good Samaritan]] and the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats; these teachings encouraged unconditional self-sacrificing [[Shema|love for God]] and [[Agape|for all people]]. During these sermons, he also discussed service and humility, forgiveness of sins, how faith should be applied, the [[Golden Rule]], and the necessity of following the spirit of the law as well as its wording.


SJ,
'''Their choosing and their purpose:''' Among the many who came to Jesus, from afar and from the surrounding villages of the north shore of the Sea of Galilee, were those moved by his insight into the nature of life, or touched deeply by His seemingly knowing them from the inside, by His intimacy with the God and Father they had only known "about", or impressed by the miracles done before their very eyes, and many, by His deep compassion for the people, so evident in all that He did. Jesus would sprinkle His words upon them as seed in a path, some to take root, and some to be blown away by the wind. But to those who heard and wanted more, they would get that more, receiving explanation, and move closer to His association. Those that would not, would receive only that which was commensurate to not wanting - more parables, silence. Never the revealing of the "Secrets of the Kingdom". Yet, there was no prohibition and no limit for getting closer to Jesus. Those that did, became His "learners" - the disciples, understanding the meanings of His word by the demonstration of His life and putting them into practice. Among these were another group, some that had been with Him from from early on, possibly some from the time of His baptism at the hands of John. These He would hold in His mind for an additional and different reason.
happen to glance through one of your older versions of your User page. Cool video about human computation.
Quite intertaining... hmmmm... interesting.. Thanks for sharing, --[[User:IainDavidson|IainD]] 04:46, 15 January 2008 (EST)


Then one night, he ascended a hill praying about them, and came down knowing who they were to be. 12 in number, chosen not because of their virtue, or even what He would do in them in the future, but rather solely chosen by His Father to be deputized, delegated, or commissioned by Jesus to be sent out for a mission. He gave them the name "Shaliach" (meaning all that), which was translated into Greek as "apostolos" and so our Apostles.


==Violent Games in the Activities?==
The mission of the Apostles was to do all that they saw Jesus was doing, healing the sick, raising the dead, and with all this, to tell about the fast coming Kingdom of Heaven, the rule of His Father, and urge people to repent and get ready for it. He gave them His power and authority to do all this. But it was to be 12 in number, not more and not less, that number surviving even the suicide of one of them, Judas from the village of Kyriot, requiring an "election" to bring back the number from 11 to 12. And that was because the special additional reason for their appointment was to sit on the the 12 thrones of the 12 tribes of Israel (the sons of Jacob) and lead them by whatever it takes - that is the meaning of the biblical term "Judge" (Shofet). For the community of the "little ones"., was to be, in some sense, an Israel within Israel, or a new Israel, a sort of beachhead for the onslaught of the Kingdom of God in its invasion (or sometimes, infiltration into) into and onto the Kingdom of the unjust occupier and enemy of all Goodness, the Devil, to overthrow him and all his works. This truer and newer Israel, He called His "Called Out ones" (Eklessia=Church) against whose onslaught the Fortified city of Hell with its defensive bars to its massive gates, would not prevail. Many captives would be released. The Church, then, was the community counterpart to what was known as the "Synagogue" (Greek), meaning "gathered together ones" (Beit Knesset - house of the gathering, Hebrew). It was the Synagogue of Jesus the King and Messiah, and aligned with and the focal point of the Prophetically promised and hoped for Kingdom of God and the rule of Heaven on Earth. And the disciples and apostles of Jesus all had their place in the unfolding of it all.


Hi SJ,
==== Social Outcasts ====
Jesus also often conversed with social outcasts, such as the publican ([[Rome|Roman]] tax collectors who were unpopular for their practice of extorting money).


What's your opinion on this issue?
==== Miracles ====
http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-January/009849.html
Throughout his ministry, Jesus performed many miracles including healing the sick and possessed, feeding 5000, and even raising from the dead.

==== His Preaching was Offensive to the Established Authority ====
As He preached, Jesus ran afoul of the [[Sanhedrin]], the recognized Jewish religious authorities, who were allowed to have considerable religious, political and monetary influence under Roman rule. Jesus chastised them, accusing them of making laws for the people to follow that were the laws of men, not God. The Sanhedrin tried to set traps for Jesus by asking Him questions to either discredit Him with the people or get Him in trouble with the Roman authorities, but all of their efforts failed and they gave up. They lacked the means to stop Jesus until [[Judas Iscariot]] came to them and offered to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. He would tell them where Jesus would be that night so they could seize Him.

At the [[Passover Seder]], the last meal the Lord would eat with His followers, His presence so permeated the atmosphere, and what He said and did at that special time, and especially they having received His command to do just what He was doing before them at this time, whenever they would meet together, the Apostles of the Lord and the Gospels after them could not speak of bountiful and miraculous times of the Lord's gracious giving of food feeding the multitudes, without mentioning that which otherwise would not have been mentioned - ''He took the bread, looked up to heaven blessing the bread, He broke the bread, and He gave it to them.'' That is what the Lord did before them, and that is what Hie commanded them to do after Him, and thus provided for them, and for the Church after them, the one of two universal services - the [[Lord's Supper]], or [[Eucharist]], or [[Holy Communion]].

But in addition, He gave His own particular understanding to the unleavened bread of the Passover and ceremonial cup of wine, the 3rd and "Thanksgiving cup" of wine drunk immediately after the Passover meal was eaten. In slightly varying words, the Gospels and the Church after would perpetuate that understanding by repeating what the Lord Himself said at that Last Supper - "This is My Body which is given for you... This is My blood, the blood of the New Covenant which is shed for you, and for the many. Do this as my own Remembrance". And so He signified to His followers that His life would be given in sacrifice for them and for their benefit. How this benefit would be effected, would be explained by Jesus by other sayings, "Do not think that I have come in order to be served. I have not come to be served but rather to serve, and to give my life as a ransom for many."

But His presence remained with them at the continual celebration of this new Christian [[Passover]] of the Communion. Though He had vanished from their eyes as He would return to the Father, yet through the Spirit which He had promised to be in His stead, He was there with them to remain- "Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I!"..."

Note: The word Maranatha, comes from the Greek word which is translating the Aramaic which comes in two forms according to the accent given. Marana tha - "O our Lord, come!", and Maran atha - "Our Lord has come". This appears in the earliest liturgies of the Eucharist, and was used either as an invocation for the Lord to come, a sort of invite, or as an exclamation that the Lord has indeed come, just as He said He would. In either case, it was a witness to the belief that the Lord was indeed with them when they participated in the Remembrance which He had commanded.

As they did not have the authority to put a man to death, they took him to [[Pontius Pilate]], the Roman governor of Palestine, with their charges and demanded his execution. Pilate avoided the issue by sending him to [[Herod Antipas|King Herod]] since Jesus was a Galilean, but Herod sent him back to Pilate. Pilate at first tried to release Jesus with a flogging, and then gave the crowd a choice to either spare Jesus or a criminal called [[Barabbas]] as part of the passover tradition. The crowd chose to free Barabbas and Pilate washed his hands to signify that he bore no responsibility for Jesus' death before ultimately condemning Him to [[crucifixion]].<ref>Matthew 27: 15-44</ref>

Behind the Cross was the sum total of all the maladies of mankind, that the Old Testament unveiled : Pesh'a - conscious and "high handed" rebellion, for which , under the Old Covenant, there was no forgiveness provided, Khet - an unintended "missing of the mark", as in the deviation from the bull's eye of the bowman, Shigi'a - the mistakes, some causing great harm to others, which come about by plain ignorance, and 'Avon "iniquity" or distortion - the inner twistedness, that causes failure and suffering, seemingly from the very structure of our persons regardless of our intent. These were the sins Godwards as well as towards man, and these are all, Scripture revealed, repugnant to the nature and standard of a Holy God.
: yes, cheers. --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font color="fc9" style="font-size:70%">leave me a message</font>]]


On the Cross, in a way which is unfathomable to man, but nontheless believable, the repugnance fell upon Jesus, the Son of God, and again in a way not fully understandable to us, but believable nonetheless, God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself, not considering us the sinners but rather His own dear Son who had no taint upon Himself. A great transaction had taken place by the imposition of Himself of Christ in our place, absorbing, as if He were a blotter, all the reaction of a Holy God upon Himself, in our place, that we might go free. Unfair to Him, Mercy to us. Yet Jesus was not forced to do it. He did it both in His great love for us and in His obedience to the way that the Father had decided. "No one takes my life from me. I have power to take it and I have power to lay it down..I lay down my life for the sheep". Peter would say, "The Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." Paul would say, "He was made to be sin, He who did not "know" sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him".That was Friday.


== Teamwiki requests ==
On Saturday, when all were at Sabbath's rest, Jesus was not. His body dead, He passed in spirit to those that had died before, those in the period of Noah, and proclaimed, as Peter taught, what He had done. On Sunday, the first day of the week, He would rise from the dead.

The Cross of Christ, and the atonement He accomplished on it, is the very grounds that anyone who will be saved can be saved. The shedding of His blood brings salvation, to anyone who will respond, according to the ability that they have, that is given them. That brings forgiveness to the murderer such as Paul, the adultress such as the "woman taken in adultery", the tax-collecting extortioner, a seeker in the night turned believer, as hopefully Nicodemus proved to be, people that just know that they are sinners without any "grave sin" to specify, and also the "fetus" whose life was cut off in the womb as a "thing", and the severly retarded child banging his head in the institution he finds himself. All, according to the light given them, and repentence and turning to God given to them, will one day know just what was the basis for their salvation - the Cross of Christ. Those who reject, will also one day know the basis by which they could have been saved if they had not rejected - the Cross of Christ

=== Ascension into Heaven ===


== Historical Analysis ==
== GM clarification? ==
=== Dating Jesus' Birth ===
Modern historians generally place the actual date of Jesus' birth between 7 and 4 B.C., due to problems reconciling the Roman and Jewish calendars with the [[Gregorian Calendar]] which is in use today throughout the industrialized world.


After our conversation on the nature of GM today, the [http://laptopfoundation.org/en/participate/givemany.shtml GM section of the laptopfoundation.org website] is not very explanatory according to my [[OLPC:Webpage_corrections_needed#laptopfoundation.org current understanding]], and is something Walter or someone else with editing privs may want to fix. [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 00:32, 30 January 2008 (EST)
=== Historicity of Jesus ===
Occasionally, non-historians deny the [[historicity of Jesus]] (Having to do with the question of whether Jesus was in fact a real person who had a real life on earth), but few scholars take this seriously. [[Tacitus]], a Roman historian, wrote about Jesus in A.D. 115,<ref>http://www.digisys.net/users/ddalton/evidence_of_jesus_outside_the_bible.htm</ref> and [[Josephus]], a Jewish historian who did not believe in Jesus' divinity, wrote about him.<ref>http://www.christian-thinktank.com/jesusref.html</ref> Dr. [[Gary Habermas]] wrote an extensive analysis of the historicity of Jesus in his work ''The Historical Jesus: Ancient Evidence for the Life of Christ'', which discusses many historical sources that mention Jesus.


== Community project review process ==
[[Lee Strobel]]'s book ''[[The Case for Christ]]'' contains a number of interviews with experts on the historical Jesus and a defense of Jesus's resurrection, and is a good resource on this subject.


My notes from our talk over IRC today are on teamwiki at User:Mchua/Developers_program. Let me know if I'm still misunderstanding what you proposed. (I'm not wholly sure I agree with it yet, but I don't think I fully understand it yet - see the "cons" section of the community proposal - and want to make sure I "get it" before I voice an opinion.) [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 00:32, 30 January 2008 (EST)
== Jesus' Name ==
=== ''Jesus'' ===
The bible doesn't tell us much about the meaning of the name ''Jesus'', but does tell us who gave the name, when the name was given, and a reason the name was given. Luke 2:21 tells us that his name was given (1) "by the angel," (2) and it was given "before He was conceived in the womb." The reason for naming him Jesus seems to be given in Matthew 1:21, which says, "...you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."


==== Hebrew Origin ====
== University programs ==
The Greeks derived the name from the late Hebrew or Aramaic name Yoshua, today’s version of which is “Joshua”. The earlier Aramaic form was Jehoshua (Y’hoshua) or Joshua., deriving from Hebrew Yah, short for Yahweh, and Aramaic y’shuoh meaning “salvation”. The name thus meant “Jah is salvation”. Both Joshua and Jehoshua were common names in the time of Jesus.


Yeah, the page needs updating and more resources, as do grassroots groups. [[University program]] - or rather, [[Talk:University program]] - has some notes from today's conversations (not just with you, with other support-gangers and Arjun too) that need to be cleaned up and moved into mainpage eventually.

I'm hesitant to push all of that to public wiki, since Adam said he's like to work with me and Kim to port it (there's some stuff not ready to go public, though I don't know what that stuff is - I've asked).

== Translation subpages ==

I've been looking at [[Uncategorizedpages | Uncategorized Pages]] and I see a lot of subpages in the form of:

If so, would it be possible and/or desirable for that subpage to be created with a pre-existing category of some sort so that it doesn't end up in Uncategorized?

[[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 23:25, 24 February 2008 (EST)

Clarification:
I grok the DIY ethos of the wiki, but making temmplate modifications goes beyond my personal wiki-wisdom and a change that could effect so many pages should probably be done by someone with more expertise.

== work on translation templates ==
{{tl|translations}} now tells you to copy/paste a reasonable default to the translation list page if it's missing.

{{tl|translation}} now includes an optional "none" argument that should makes it function like a quasi-redirect. This uses a subtemplate which only exists for Spanish.

See [[participate]] in Spanish for an example of using the latter.

It would be good to have a template for the translation list page which did the same "paste me" instructions trick as I did in translations.

I did some initial changes to the translations how to page to explain this but it is far from finished.

[[Community Jabber Servers]] is moving to http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/A_list_of_Jabber_networks_around_the_world. What's the best way of reflecting that? Removing the content from the former and putting some sort of template to say it has moved? Can we do redirects between wikis?

== Activity-summary template gone wonky ==

Yama pointed out something strange about [[Books]] on my talk page, but it's just that page. Something seems to have gone strange with one of your [[:Template:Project-summary]] or [[:Template:Activity-summary]] templates. You can see other examples linked from this page [[:Category:Activity_summary]]. I think a move of the template was handled badly or something. You seem to have done the most (and most recent) owrk on that series of templates, do you have time to look at what is going on? [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 17:47, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

+1.

== Images not being thumbnailed ==

SJ - I unfortunately don't have the time to look into this right now but MediaWiki usually thumbnails images for you, (especially if you throw them into GALLERY tags http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial#.3Cgallery.3E_tag ) and I'm getting fed lots of full-resolution images that have just been scaled down with the browser (I.e. being sent full multi-megabyte images that are being squeezed down) - you may want to check if mediawiki has access to either the PHP 'gd' library or imagemagick or whatever it uses to make thumbs ... see [[User:Hobart/thumbnails20080709]] for example of problem

== Could you add the "Musical Look at Waste" to collections grid? ==

Hi SJ,
I've updated the library.info file of the content bundles I mantain, so that they go into the Activities category in the library. Could you add them to the main grid of the collections grid, or point me to where I can learn how to do it, as it is not as simple as editing that wiki page and adding text and link to bundles.
The bundles address has kept the same, but here they are just in case, tested in Update.1 and latest joyride, the English and Portuguese versions.

Portuguese - [[Image:Olhar-musical-pelos-residuos.xol]]
English - [[Image:Musical-look-at-waste.xol‎]]

A nice idea would be if kids in countries where one of these languages are taught at school, would translate the content to their mother language. It's cc-sa-by so no authorization is needed.

Ok seeya, keep up the good work
Eduardo.
P.S. - I would even endeavour to request you to make this collection part of library core. I've seen kids get great pleasure and a feeling of achievement from making and playing these instruments. I know it is really Portugal-centric, so I'll understand if you don't want to put in library-core as it could be a bit of "culture-pushing".

Hi SJ,

Following up on your question about the quality of posts to the public lists. See this exchange:
http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-August/017568.html

I do not want to discuss the substance of the exchange and I do nto begrudge Erik for answering. He gave a good answer and it helped and Bastien went away happy. Please do not re-open the subject of this exchange or I will feel that my raising it here was a mistake.

I say its an example of Variable Quality responses because I'm not sure the information exchanged was correct or definitive. It may well be correct and it may not be. I'm just not sure as it stands today. Its an example for consideration as we try to flush out how best to run this project on public lists and wikis.

Content meeting request

Hi SJ - Wanted to check in and see if some of us could meet with you for additional questions about wikislices. For example, who builds the slices? Also, who insures the content is accurate and appropriate? How do those slices get deployed on the XO machines? Do teachers have a way to request or build a wikislice themselves (would he or she just request it on the wikipedia wikislices project page?) Thanks! annegentle 13:54, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

Right now wikislices are determined by the editors of the relevant page; and they pull the latest content from the wiki in question. Future features include identifying specific revisions of pages, having a 'reviewed' flag for each article+revision, and contribution to a wikislice from an XO (say, by posting a set of words + a topic to a requests-for-wikislice page). Zdenek is a good person to talk to about how that might work. We're having a wikislice related discussion tomorrow aft EST, if you're around. --Sj talk 22:58, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for the info and pointer to Zdenek, very useful, especially the bundles of xol files, good to know and peruse. Michael Priestly and a few others at IBM wanted on the call but I probably can't get everyone notified by tomorrow, but I'm hoping Monday would work. Cjl is also interested so please do send call info for tomorrow's call, and also, please check availability on Monday (sorry for repeat requests but the interest is high).

Thanks for taking the time to send me a comment on my blog. Im available most days of the week, as I currently am working for myself. Im based in Swansea in the UK. So phoning maybe rather on the expensive. However I would be happy to talk over skype. If you are willing to suggest a time I will be happy to chat.

Translation subpages

I've been looking at Uncategorized Pages and I see a lot of subpages in the form of:

http;//wiki.laptop.org/go/SomePage/translations

Am I correct in my belief that using these subpages are created by the use of the templates, Translation or Translations?

If so, would it be possible and/or desirable for that subpage to be created with a pre-existing category of some sort so that it doesn't end up in Uncategorized?

Cjl 23:25, 24 February 2008 (EST)

Clarification: I grok the DIY ethos of the wiki, but making temmplate modifications goes beyond my personal wiki-wisdom and a change that could effect so many pages should probably be done by someone with more expertise.

Cjl 13:39, 25 February 2008 (EST)

work on translation templates

{{translations}} now tells you to copy/paste a reasonable default to the translation list page if it's missing.

{{translation}} now includes an optional "none" argument that should makes it function like a quasi-redirect. This uses a subtemplate which only exists for Spanish.

See participate in Spanish for an example of using the latter.

It would be good to have a template for the translation list page which did the same "paste me" instructions trick as I did in translations.

I did some initial changes to the translations how to page to explain this but it is far from finished.

Wikiosity

SJ, I'm trying to learn more about wikislicing and I've been exchanging e-mail with Zdenek. In my wiki-wandering, I've come across a few broken links to the Wikiosity activity. Is there such a thing yet or is it just in the concept phase? Cjl 17:53, 4 March 2008 (EST)

Food Force 2

I've had the opportunity to download and play the original Food Force game and I'm starting to read my way though FF2's meeting notes.

I can't really contribute anything to the coding effort, buy I am interested in seeing that the lessons taught by the game have a solid foundation in evidence-based scientific and development principles.

Mozambique OLPC

Hi SJ, Thanks for your note. It's great to hear about the lady from Lesotho joining staff. I had heard some interest from people in South Africa and Lesotho as well about this kind of project, so perhaps we could scale up the research after initial work in Mozambique. It sounds like the CAA people are waiting to get their laptops before discussing any coordination...I'm exploring some other funding options as well in case the CAA implementation is one we can work with further down the line. If I have funding for a first pilot study this summer, would I be able to get the machines for it?? Thanks, Jumpbean 08:52, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

Flocking together

I've refined the definition of Category:People. I think that wider use of this category can have particular benefits with regard to assisting on-wiki communities grow by making it easier to quickly find birds-of-a-feather, particularly for "outside parties" that we want to convert to "new participants". If you agree that this tag could be an aid to lowering the first barrier to participation (finding someone to reach out to on a given project), I'd like you to consider how to best promote it's use (going forward) and to get existing wiki pages tagged (retrofitting). I've already done some tagging and as I wander the wiki I always try to leave improved trail-markers behind, but there are a lot of pages out there for one person. Cjl 13:30, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

User:Mchua/Braindumps/For SJ - You may want to watchlist this one. I'll pile up messages on here so we can be functional while asynchronous - feel free to tell me to watch a similar page so we can have bidirectional communications (yay symmetry)! Mchua 19:20, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

Planning to be there all weekend for the events and the SG meeting

Planning to be there all weekend for the Grassroots_unconference events and the S-G meeting and I'm still trying to determine exactly how long I'll be able to stay in Boston. I'd like to take a few minutes to just look around if at all possible since this is my vacation :).

If there's any dorm/barracks plans for the weekend, I'd be interested. Worst case is I'll have to get a hotel room, which is expensive. Splitting hotel costs is a good plan if it comes to that. Thanks!

Moving pages between wikis

Hi SJ,

Community Jabber Servers is moving to http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/A_list_of_Jabber_networks_around_the_world. What's the best way of reflecting that? Removing the content from the former and putting some sort of template to say it has moved? Can we do redirects between wikis?

Activity-summary template gone wonky

Yama pointed out something strange about Books on my talk page, but it's just that page. Something seems to have gone strange with one of your Template:Project-summary or Template:Activity-summary templates. You can see other examples linked from this page Category:Activity_summary. I think a move of the template was handled badly or something. You seem to have done the most (and most recent) owrk on that series of templates, do you have time to look at what is going on?

First pass at ethiopia design

The colors don't really... go with one another. So I didn't use all 3.

--Nikki 22:24, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Note from Lidet; Any image you choose to use about Ethiopia is usually extremely politically charged. The Yellow star on blue is no exception. The safest and only real representation that we can use for Ethiopia are the colors of the flag superimposed on an XO-man. Seth 17:37, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

binaural mics for g2

don't forget: two mics for sound placement and stereo recording... see why barry thought unnecc for gen1. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sj (talk • contribs) ?

+1. As we discussed, binaural microphone placement (working cooperatively with the shape of the device for the best effect) would open many possibilities for engaging applications for a small increase in price. The XO-2 design is promising for kinesthetic learners... I'd love to see it work with the auditory / musical types as well. Let's talk more on this. --Bjordan 21:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Images not being thumbnailed

SJ - I unfortunately don't have the time to look into this right now but MediaWiki usually thumbnails images for you, (especially if you throw them into GALLERY tags http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial#.3Cgallery.3E_tag ) and I'm getting fed lots of full-resolution images that have just been scaled down with the browser (I.e. being sent full multi-megabyte images that are being squeezed down) - you may want to check if mediawiki has access to either the PHP 'gd' library or imagemagick or whatever it uses to make thumbs ... see User:Hobart/thumbnails20080709 for example of problem

Could you add the "Musical Look at Waste" to collections grid?

Hi SJ, I've updated the library.info file of the content bundles I mantain, so that they go into the Activities category in the library. Could you add them to the main grid of the collections grid, or point me to where I can learn how to do it, as it is not as simple as editing that wiki page and adding text and link to bundles. The bundles address has kept the same, but here they are just in case, tested in Update.1 and latest joyride, the English and Portuguese versions. 

Portuguese - File:Olhar-musical-pelos-residuos.xol
English - File:Musical-look-at-waste.xol

A nice idea would be if kids in countries where one of these languages are taught at school, would translate the content to their mother language. It's cc-sa-by so no authorization is needed.

Ok seeya, keep up the good work Eduardo. P.S. - I would even endeavour to request you to make this collection part of library core. I've seen kids get great pleasure and a feeling of achievement from making and playing these instruments. I know it is really Portugal-centric, so I'll understand if you don't want to put in library-core as it could be a bit of "culture-pushing". HoboPrimate 17:55, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Possibly "Variable Quality" Exchange on Sugar List

Hi SJ,

Following up on your question about the quality of posts to the public lists. See this exchange: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-August/017568.html

I do not want to discuss the substance of the exchange and I do nto begrudge Erik for answering. He gave a good answer and it helped and Bastien went away happy. Please do not re-open the subject of this exchange or I will feel that my raising it here was a mistake.

I say its an example of Variable Quality responses because I'm not sure the information exchanged was correct or definitive. It may well be correct and it may not be. I'm just not sure as it stands today. Its an example for consideration as we try to flush out how best to run this project on public lists and wikis.

Thanks,

user rename

I just noticed this:

"Fid" is a nice username. It's a shame to make it unavailable. If you must rename, something like u154970135 would be a good choice.

IMHO there is no need though, since nobody is going to go digging through the list of users.

hi SJ,

Honestly, I was never an admin at NWE, so it'll be new. I just made templates or fixed templates that wasn't working. For vandalism, I could check recent changes and catch one, or if you are developing a bot, I can vandalize on purpose to see if the bot will catch it. Am I already an admin now? It'll be great if you can post me something like welcome to OLPC but for admins so I could read how to use my powers :P. --Hiro 12:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi SJ, ok no problem. Is there something specific you will like for me to work on? I wish the main page could be changed to be more... easily viewed instead of bunch of links, but I wouldn't be able to design it from scratch. Just thought I'll throw in the idea. Are there pages that need clean up or with broken templates? Feel free to let me know. --Hiro 17:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
