Re: Still on fi:Todellisen Jeesuksen Kirkko edit

Firstly, I would draw your attention to Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#When pages get too long and to this edit [1]. Secondly, I would repeat the points I made in my previous message, namely:

  • Please, refrain from editing in a language you do not know - you will not be able to judge the suitability of the material you are inserting, as you will not understand what you are inserting. Furhter, you are unable to take part in discussions regarding the article;
  • Unsourced quotation do not make good encyclopedic content: I would urge you to write about the background, purpose, and the processes related to each of the sacraments and support this, for example, with comparisons and contrasts with other religious movements' sacraments.

Thirdly, I would repeat my suggestion that insisting on pushing through unintelligeble and unsuitable material is not furthering the cause of your church. I would remind you that Wikipedia is a encyclopedia, not a medium for missionary work. Fourthly, may I ask you to keep conversations in one place - if I write to your talk page, please respond here. Thank you. --Lendu 09:30, 18 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have reverted your edits because they no longer valid.
Yes, I admit that the previous version here was unintelligible and nonsense - therefore I sincerely apologize for such actions.
However I had learnt from that mistake and now the article has been written in proper Finnish. Please look carefully and closely at these Finnish passages below and decide for yourself whether those passages are intelligible or not.


"Pyhän Hengen vastaanottaminen, jota todistaa kielillä puhuminen, on takuu meidän perinnöstämme taivaiden valtakunnassa. "

"Vesikaste on sakramentti, jonka tarkoitus on syntien anteeksianto uuden hengellisen elämän aloittaminen. Kaste annetaan luonnonvedessä kuten joessa, meressä tai lähteessä. Kastaja, joka on saanut kasteen vedellä ja Pyhällä Hengellä, suorittaa kasteen Herran Jeesuksen Kristuksen nimeen. Kasteen saajan tulisi olla kokonaan veden alla pää kumarassa ja kasvot alaspäin."

"Jalkojen pesun sakramentti antaa sajalleen mahdollisuuden olla osa Herra Jeesusta. Se muistuttaa myös taukoamatta rakkauden, pyhyyden, nöyryyden, anteeksiannon ja palvelemisen tärkeydestä. Jokainen, joka on saanut vesikasteen, saa jalkansa pestyksi Herran Jeesuksen nimeen. Jalat pestään vastavuoroisesti aina, kun se on soveliasta."

"Sapattipäivä, viikon seitsemäs päivä (lauantai), on pyhäpäivä, Jumalan siunaama ja pyhittämä. Sitä tarkkaillaan Herran armon alla, Jumalan luomisen ja vapahduksen muistojuhlana toivoen ikuista lepoa tulevassa elämässä."

"Jeesus kristus, sana joka tuli lihaksi, kuoli ristillä syntisten pelastamiseksi, heräsi henkiin kolmantena päivänä ja nousi taivaaseen. Hän on ihmiskunnan ainoa Pelastaja, taivaiden ja maan luoja, ja ainoa oikea Jumala."

"Pyhä Raamattu, joka koostuu uudesta ja vanhasta testamentista, on Jumalan sanan innoittama, ainoa kirjallinen totuus, ja kristillisen elämän perusta."

"Jumala suo pelastuksen uskon kautta. Uskovien tulee luottaa Pyhään Henkeen tavoitellessaan pyhyyttä, kunnioittaa Jumalaa, ja rakastaa ihmiskuntaa."

"Todellisen Jeesuksen Kirkko, jonka perusti herramme Jeesus Kristus, Pyhän Hengen kautta 'myöhäissateen' aikana, on apostolisen ajan todellinen elvytetty kirkko."

"Herran toinen tuleminen tapahtuu viimeisenä päivänä, kun hän laskeutuu taivaasta tuomitsemaan maailmaa: oikeamieliset saavat ikuisen elämän, kun syntiset tuomitaan ikuisiksi ajoiksi."

As you can see, those passages were written by native speakers of Finnish.
I would also like to add that the translated quotations are based upon the English version (in which it can be sourced and verified here). Why do you insist on removing these statements? Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia and our church should have the opportunity to inform other countries of our beliefs and background.
