Original research

edit

There is a key concept at Wikipedia that I think is relevant to the issues at Eternal christianity. Wikipedia is not a place for original theories, ideas, or arguments. See Wikipedia:No original research for an explanation. In basic terms, it means that if I invent Friday's theory of gravity and make an article about it, I need to show that this theory is considered relevant by people working in that field. If people say "Does this belong in an encyclopedia?" I should not answer by giving my list of reasons why I think my theory is a good thing. It's completely irrelevant- Wikipedia is not equipped to evaluate such claims, and it's not within the scope of what we do here. Wikipedia is never the first place to publish any idea- we must use information that has already been published by reliable sources. Right now, your page reads like original research. And yes, I'm using the word "research" a bit loosely- I understand that theological arguments are not scientific research, but the core idea still applies. Even if you've invented a new name for an old idea, we probably cannot cover it here under the new name. Anyway, not sure if I'm being clear, but I hope this helps.
