Hello Tommy. It has been quite a while hasn't it. I am sure you can tell right off the bat that a lot and I mean a lot has changed here. Myself I have grown a lot in maturity and in my faith. There are dozens and dozens of changes that you could look at, but the main thing is the goal and purpose of this site. The past summer is really when I decided rather than this just being a "wiki" or another "website" that it needs to be a ministry and honor God. Way back then we thought the best approach would be neutral, but that isn't something really possible with the Bible. Rather we are going to be openly claiming and professing God and the salvation recieved from Jesus Christ. A big thing we are going to talk about here is the authority, and the entirety of the Bible: how it is historically accurate, internally consistent and how really there is a lot of evidence God Himself inspired the authors.

Over the past year or two there have been many users who have seemed to have a lot of suggestions for the wiki that weren't really rooted in the Bible. Many of these are very common controversial topics, but if we are to share the truth of the Bible then not everybody will be happy.

If you would like your adminship back, that's not something I can do at this time. Right now we are dealing with such conflicts. More or less what was decided is that at this time we cannot just make anybody on the internet an admin. Right now we are very slowly revamping a lot of things in order to setup this website as a ministry, including answering some of those tricky questions that weren't rooted in the Bible. I have been working with my church to find somebody in my area that is willing to help with this. Often the issue was people didn't have time nor did they feel confident in their ability to be able to help on a website, regardless that you do not need a whole lot of technical skill to use it.

A youth pastor at a local church that I am well-acquainted with has seen the efforts of trying to find an admin and so we are meeting biweekly (we haven't had a meeting in several weeks as this time of year is usually fairly busy) to discuss some issues and to bring about prayer on things. They haven't nor are they very confident in their contributing/on-site ability so we are trying to look for someone who has the time and both spiritual and intellectual biblical knowledge.

As of now I am the only real "admin" (the pastor friend of mine we haven't quite got him to editing yet, hopefully we can but they are unsure in their ability) as most others became busy. At this time we cannot allow someone that is known well personally be an admin because we do not have the spiritual affirmation as well and because all of our meetings are in person. This may be something that we can do in the future, but isn't something we can do at this time. I would love to chat with you further to see how you been and invite you to help this ministry by praying and contributing.

Thanks,

Superdadsuper, Biblicalapedia Administrator and Bureaucrat.
