Hi Lina- I appreciate you reaching out to me and I am very glad to see you are interested in joining us here at Bible Wiki. I would reccomend checking out our Editors, Biblical Point of View and Community page to get some summary information about what Bible Wiki is and how editing works.

I will still answer your questions here for clarification:


 * No, you do not need any other text other than the Bible to write content on the site. We pride ourselves in trying to be as closely based directly off the Bible as possible (and at this time we don't reference other sources outside of the Bible). Other resources like commentaries, study bible and interlinears are certaintly very helpful (especially for more complex research), but at a basic necessity all you need is Scripture, guidance from the Holy Spirit and a desire to write.


 * 1) Your location and cultural standards shouldn't affect your ability to have faith. In basic terms a Christian is anyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ and trusts Him as the sole source for Salvation and Righteousness. Unfortunately in today's world there are many distorted views that either go beyond the Bible or misunderstand this. We have created a "Beliefs " that lists our official stances on any doctrine to provide clarification. Of uptmost importance is belief that the Bible is inspired by God. It doesn't matter where you live or what society around you says. I live in the US and there are many false beliefs typical of US persons that I do not agree with. People who are persecuted in modern muslims countries or in ancient pagan countries can have Faith even if it goes against the rest of society.

Anyone can contribute, but we clearly state that we can't expect non-Christians to productively further our mission over a course of time. This is a strong generalization as there are non-Christians who can contribute meaningful content, we just have low expectations for that to happen. For the very uncommon non-Christian (or someone who claims to be a Christian but doesn't actively pratice their faith) the best way to contribute is by adding factual statements from the Bible. There is certaintly no restriction in what is allowed, but as I said there is not a lot of expectation or guidance we can give for that scenario.

I hope this answers your questions in plenty of detail.
