Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Book of Daniel, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Tgeorgescu (talk) 23:55, 6 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hey there, thanks for the info. The information I've added is mostly taken from the study notes of Dr Chuck Missler of Koinoinia House Ministries. Other things added are simply grammatical changes to keep the article balanced. If I cite what I've added, will my changes be accepted? (talk)


 * You should use its talk page in order to suggest major changes to the article, and you cannot simply erase verifiable information and replace it with orthodox mantras. E.g., most quoted scholars are Christians, not atheists as you have falsely claimed. Tgeorgescu (talk) 00:17, 7 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Do not conflate fundamentalist with Christian, these words don't have the same meaning. Tgeorgescu (talk) 00:19, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Christians who don't affirm the historicity and prophetic accuracy of their own holy scriptures? My apologies, I simply assumed anyone who didn't believe the Bible was "true" was not a Christian. (talk)


 * Biblical literalism is shared by a tiny minority of all Christians. Tgeorgescu (talk) 00:25, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Interesting; could you cite your source for that information please? (talk)


 * See Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church and perform some arithmetic. Tgeorgescu (talk) 00:42, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

"In the American South, where I live, Christianity is very much about the Bible. Most Christians come from churches that preach the Bible, teach the Bible, adhere (they claim) to the Bible. It is almost “common sense” among many Christians in this part of the world that if you don’t believe in the Bible you cannot be a Christian. Most Christians in other parts of the world—in fact, the vast majority of Christians throughout the history of the church—would find that common sense to be nonsense. For most Christians, Christian faith is about believing in Christ and worshipping God through him. It is not about belief in the Bible. When I tell people that in churches here I’m often met with firm disbelief—how could so many Christians, they wonder, get it so wrong. But it’s true. Just look at the Christian creeds that are still recited throughout the world today, the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed. Not a word about the Bible. In traditional Christianity the Bible itself has never been an object of faith."
