In the List of Terms, there was a section under "Gospel". I removed it since we have an article about it. Here was it's contents: {{Quote|

Gospel
The Gospel (which means "good news") is the message in the Bible that proclaims that God has sent His Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins by paying for them with His blood on the cross, and then rising from the dead three days later as proof that we will have eternal life in Him if we believe and put our trust in Him as our Lord and Savior. Some primary verses used for the preaching of the Gospel include:
 * "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
 * But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
 * that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
 * For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Consider restoring entry

 * Though the entry in the "List of Terms" was a lot longer than the others, its deletion was not necessary. There are other terms on that list that have, or should become articles.  I have always wondered about the value of that page anyway.  I think it is a hold-over from the earliest days of the wiki.  Mostly it is a list of names and places, rather than "terms" in the true sense.  I think it needs to be culled of all but terms that have become either obsolete in common language (these would be from old translations) or are "technical" and "religious" in nature.


 * The point of the List should be for further understanding of important concepts such as redemption, salvation, sacrifice, priest, et cetera. The meaning of names do not add much to the general edification of the reader.  That is not to say there is not room for etymology, but the significant terms get lost in this list. --SouthWriter (talk) 19:17, February 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Perhaps someone should rewrite that page.  Christian Sirolli ( Talk 19:43, February 8, 2017 (UTC)
