User talk:John Carter/IP

My talk page is somewhat regularly protected because of vandalism efforts. This unfortunately leaves IPs without a means of contacting me. I have created this page to give them a way to contact me.

To my fellow admins and anyone else who may see comments that count as vandalism on this page:I realize that in some cases the comments here may themselves be the kind that count as vandalism, but I would urge that no one bother to revert such comments or block any IPs that make even remotely reasonable comments here. I can and very likely will revert such vandalism myself shortly, if I think such action warranted. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 15:17, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Dear John Carter,

I am "MacforJesus", whom you challenged to supply proof of Saint Athanasius' innocence of the murder of Arian Bishop George of Alexandria.

I have prepared a short desertation, this being only an outline.

When someone seeks a job today they seek testimonials / references.

I refer to the testimonial given by Julian the Emporor that succeded his father Constance, November 361. He reverted to paganism and was an adversary of Saint Athanasius.

He sent a message to the Bishop to expel him from Alexandria and gave the reasons, simply that he did not permit him to return to his see.

At this occasion he had the opportunity to give more reasons but did'nt. If he had given the reason of murder or complicity in murder it would have been far more damaging for the church would not continue to accept Saint Athanasius.

My study of heremenutics assures me of the credability of this.

In fact Julian refers to Saint Athanasius' qualities of personality and courage even in a derisory way.

The full outline of these details and references I can supply.

Athanasius continued to be accepted as a leader of one of the five centers of Christendom and visited Antioch, and the petrarch there to consolidate the Nicean Creed. A thing he could not do if there was the slightest hint of complicity in murder. He would be shunned by all.

John,

I am super new to the "change things" side of Wikipedia, so I will ask that you forgive any blunders in advance. First, thank you for providing a place to make contact.

I read the Wikipedia page on Baptists, I found your name on the list of those who make it happen, I also saw your comments on splitting Anabaptists from Baptists. I have some concerns. Not sure how to make them known or where to address them. That said, you may take exception to what I think is true, that is OK.

It is my understanding that the Baptists came from the Anabaptists. That being the case, they predated the Reformation. That being the case, they are not of the Protestant line and are not Protestants. That being the case, it only fuels the misconception that they are Protestants by treating Baptist and Anabaptist topics separately. Historically the beliefs of Protestants and Baptists have been so far apart as to make the Protestant denominations persecute the Baptists from the Reformation until sometime around the First Amendment to the US Constitution. I doubt that either side would likely claim much fellowship or kinship under such conditions.

In case you do disagree (many people do) my reference is:

   Ashcroft, Robert. Contending for the Faith, An Updated History of the Baptists.  Texarkans, TX: Bogard Press, 2006.

It paints a detailed history with references.

It is probably not too wise to leave something for you with no way to get back in touch. Just paste my first and last names together with @ and suffix .net if you want to respond or point me back here for the response.

Thanks
