ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος --John 1:1 Greek
My real name is Tom Major, and I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I have a passion for learning God's Word and growing in a deeper relationship with my Savior. I see no conflict between faith and knowledge, and simply see faith as another type of knowledge, rather than antithetical to knowledge. I also have a passion for reaching out to the world through street evangelism and the aid of wiki software. I am an administrator of the following Christian wiki sites.
- BrethrenPedia.com
- Creationwiki.org
- Mormonwiki.org
- Theopedia.com
- Wikible.org
I currently attend Springbrook Bible Chapel when in Blasdell, NY, and Arbor Oaks Bible Chapel when in Dubuque, IA.
Education
Highschool:
- Graduated from Churchville Christian School. Some gen-eds were taken at CCBC.
College:
- Graduated with an Associates degree as a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator, at the Community College of Baltimore County.
- Currently attending Emmaus Bible College, with the goal of getting a double-major in Biblical Studies and Computer Information Systems. Also, Lord-willing I will be getting a minor in Biblical Languages.
Future ambitions:
- Seminary. Possibly DTS. Still looking.
Opinion of Conservapedia
It is a very intriguing project, but I do see some limitations in it. Now I don't want to overgeneralize, but I will give an example. It seems like Conservapedia tends to be very culturally focused rather than information focused. And by that I don't mean that we should not address culturally relevant issues, but sometimes the articles overly address them. For example, the Video game article starts like this, "Video games are electronic games commonly played by a wide portion of the population." The only definition of what a video game is that I saw was "electronic game." Even in that first sentence we encounter a cultural item: "a wide portion of the population." The rest of the paragraph and article seems to focus on types of games, genres, laws, moral issues, etc, but there is no other explicit definition of what a Video game actually is.
Now I realize it's a work in progress, and this may not and does not reflect every article. There are some articles that have very careful and explicit definitions, but this one does not.
Right now that is probably my only major complaint, since I haven't been very actively involved.
