Sacred Persons in the Bible

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Seems to be mostly the author's interpretation of the Bible (ie, original research), rather than based on any serious scholarship. What's the "Jewish Church", anyway? Also by this editor are Church abuse and Spiritual distress, which are nearly as bad and should themselves be considered for deletion. Biruitorul Talk 03:45, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom - basically just a summary of a chapter in Horne's book (which was published in 1862, not 2008 as listed - I've fixed that, at least). No evidence that the term has any wider usage in theology. Tevildo (talk) 08:45, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Spiritual distress seems OK, it's adequately sourced.  Church abuse could probably be usefully merged into Christian cult, which isn't one of our best articles as it stands.  Just a comment in case this AfD is extended to include these articles. Tevildo (talk) 08:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This represents original research and the author's unique perspective. And, yes, "the Jewish Church" is an interesting subhead. :) Pastor Theo (talk) 10:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I should point out that "the Jewish Church" is the expression used by Horne - such issues were less sensitive in 1862 than they are now, I believe. Tevildo (talk) 13:06, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete appears inadequately referenced and POV. John Carter (talk) 13:39, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete poor quality and rather POV. "Jewish church", by the way, is part of covenant theology's teaching that the Church is the people of God in all ages, both before and after Christ — a correct POV, I believe, but still a POV that shouldn't be taught by a Wikipedia article.  Curious, though, why it would be seen as sensitive?  Nyttend (talk) 17:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as per everyone. Edward321 (talk) 01:41, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
