Original research additions edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Christianity, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you.

- Well, I've cited 6 Bible passages, referred to 2 alternative Bible translations and 3 published sources. What more do you suggest?
- Referencing the Bible directly to uphold a possibly contentious point counts as original research. You must also take care not the give the topic undue weight. If you believe that the Universalist position is understated, given the previous reverts I would encourage you to bring this up in the talk page. Nautical Mongoose (talk) 20:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
