Speedy delete[edit]

I disagree that this page should be up for speedy deletion. It is not nonsense and should at least go the standard deletion route. --Alabamaboy 02:51, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's not even a VfD candidate. The salt of the earth is a very notable concept in Christianity. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:53, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It was a speedy delete candidate b/c someone thought is was patent nonsense. I removed that delete notice. --Alabamaboy 03:00, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ya... I know :) you beat me to it! I think it's a pretty good attempt at explaining the phrase, which is quite notable in Christian circles. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:03, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I totally agree. While the article does need to be cleaned up, it is better than most new articles in dealing with a subject. --Alabamaboy 03:11, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Categorization[edit]

Is there an appropriate category for the article?--Cyberjunkie 03:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There must be a Christianity one. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:17, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Bible version[edit]

I have used the King James Version, since studies show it is the most literal translation. Nathan Larson 03:23, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation[edit]

Shall we set up a disambig between Salt of the Earth and Salt of the earth? Nathan Larson 03:36, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Verifiability[edit]

I added to reference to David Bloch's article in order to confirm the historical information about salt being used as a salary for Roman soldiers. Nathan Larson 03:39, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Salt and light[edit]

Support They share the same scope. Rupert Loup (talk) 20:32, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: In light of the much more recent deletion discussion I am removing the merge tag - there is consensus to keep this as a separate article. St Anselm (talk) 06:30, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

as a child of God[edit]

As a child of God your fundamental right over the world and the kindom of darkness is for you to know your battles sworn to destroy Satan and all is demon WATER is life you can decide to stay away from food but not water the Bible says in the book of JOHN 3:5 except a man be born of water and of the spirit he can not enter into the Kingdom of God, so the spirit of God can be in you but you need water to wash you.no matter the situation in life you most learn to use the elements of God that brings life to fight the Kingdom of darkness JOHN 4:14 High praise of God (talk) 07:09, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
