Order & Biblegateway refs
I will try to put last names first, although G-books has them the other way. Now, at some point you mentioned that you wrote those macros that generate Biblegateway refs. There seems no option for a Catholic version at Biblegateway and we received a complaint from you know who about it. The easiest way would be for me to write a new set of macros that link to something like www.biblestudytools.com or oremus.org. I write programs faster than I wrote text, so it should be easy. So where is the source for those macros? And what is the macro language? Thanks. History2007 (talk) 15:44, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I wrote the Bibleref2's. Wiki calls them "templates" and if you search for "Template:Bibleref" you'll find the original one that I learned from. I'm way far from any expert in this, but from doing some searches, template language was originally called "MediaWiki:" namespace. I "think" the language is PHP but since I don't speak PHP, I'm not sure. Please keep me posted of your progress and findings. I wanna learn with you.;.─AFA Prof01 (talk) 04:02, 5 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I will take a look at them in a day or two. History2007 (talk) 00:46, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Justus Velsius
Hi Afaprof01: I noticed that you have been quite active on the Born again page. The reason I came down here is that I started recently an article on Justus Velsius. The article is still in its early phases, in particular I need to expand the latter part of his life when Velsius became a faith healer, back in Holland. What is interesting about this person is that he seems to have been a born again Christian, in the 16th century rather than 20th century America. It is thought that he was affiliated with the Anabaptists of that time, but there is no proven connection. Velsius was contemporary of Calvin, and engaged Calvin in a disputation on the issue of predestination vs. free will. Later on he caused an uproar at the Dutch Church in London, on the issue of regeneration, see for the full story. Anyway. I am trying to make sense of this; I got the feeling that Velsius would have been more as ease as a Southern Baptist in 20th Century America than in the religious turmoil of 16th century Europe, but perhaps that is too much of an oversimplication. Anyway, it would be interesting to hear someone's opinion who is more familiar with this aspect of Christianity. JdH (talk) 21:33, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
