Shroud of Turin depiction
I have no objection to either your caption or the preceding one. I just want to remark that I think your change has actually advanced the Shroud's claim to be genuine beyond what was stated before. The previous caption merely described it as a depiction of Jesus, like the many other pictures, sculptures and drawings that depict him. It did not say that the face is that of Jesus. Now you have made the caption state that in the view of some it is more than just a depiction, that it actually is the face of Jesus. Yes, that is their view, but did you really want to direct attention to their view?
No need to reply to this. I don't want to start a discussion. Soidi (talk) 21:09, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Prophetess
Prophetess is a site established by the late Ralph W. Klein, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Lutheran School of Theology Chicago (hence the .lstc.edu tag at the end of the url). The site is still run by his former colleagues from the faculty. It's a reputable academic source. I appreciate your concern about keeping Wikipedia intelectually honest, but this one is respectable.

- Thanks for this info. Shouldn't he be given attribution for the article? When one looks it up, his name does not appear anywhere. Afaprof01 (talk) 03:41, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
I appreciate all the work you just did on Baptism, but would you mind telling me why you took out the references I inserted earlier for the sentence "Jesus himself was baptized."? If you don't mind, I'd like to put them back in – I think that kind of phrase needs some sort of sourcing.

- First of all, THANK YOU for your most kind, courteous inquiry. That's really nice! (Sometimes I dread clicking on the amber "You've got mail" banner.) I wish all my mail were like yours. Second, I honestly cannot explain why I deleted those Bibleref2's. That's embarrassing to say, but it's honest. I have restored them. Let's blame it on it having been late at night :-) Happy New Year! Afaprof01 (talk) 22:03, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- Your reply was a joy to read as well.
And thanks for restoring the refs!
