Opening paragraph
edit- I have a problem with this definition of a Christian Soldier. This does not mean taking up of arms or violence. The Hymn that uses this comment "onward Christian Soldiers" from long ago had no implication of violence or taking up of arms. This has always been used by mainstream "true" Christianity to mean to hold up as determined as a good soldier would. Focused on your goal and not allowing the enemy to dissuade you from what your God and King has set to.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bulderdude (talk • contribs) 2010-03-30T13:15:17
- The idiom can mean different things to different people. Expand the article and use citations to support your input. WritersCramp (talk) 19:07, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I changed the opening line of the article to reflect what your citation actually supports, which is that the Hutaree call themselves Christian soldiers (and not that a Christian soldier "is" anything in particular). ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 18:28, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, the Hutaree militia group call themselves "Christian warriors," not "Christian soldiers." -- Radagast3 (talk) 11:25, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

- Can you point to a single one of those search results that actually says the phrase refers to armed militants? Because I don't see any. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 20:46, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Dab Page
editIn the interest of not burning too many hours behind another massively controversial AfD, I'm personally not going to re-nominate this despite lack of prejudice against immediate renomination. There was at least emerging consensus in the AfD for conversion to a Dab page, and a dab page is what we have now (and I am mostly okay with that). If anyone else brings it to AfD, that is their prerogative (and I'll hop over and quietly vote delete). Either way, I'm pleased with this outcome. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 15:03, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
