Does this article belong here?[edit]

Hi, I'm Jewish and was raised religious (though I'll add that I am now both non-religious and non-spiritual). I'm not sure this article belongs on RationalWiki. While various religions' views on the Messiah are interesting, and while it's certainly informative to talk about the reasons why Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah etc., I don't see what this has to do with exposing pseudoscience, cranks, etc.. It seems more suitable for a theology wiki. Cat A. Lonia (talk) 12:54, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Not sure what the right way to do this is.[edit]

When this page talks about the word Logos it has links to the website blueletterbible.org. The page it links to is for the word יְהֹוָה (Yᵊhōvâ). Perhaps I’m just not understanding something but this doesn’t seem correct. The linked page doesn’t contain the word logos anywhere and I can’t even find a page for it on blueletterbible.org. So I’m very confused why the word logos is linking to something that seems to have little relation to what the messiah article is talking about. The only wiki editing I’ve ever done is fixing spelling and grammar and I have no concept of how to make those little annotation pop up boxes with the hyperlinks in them, I don’t even know what they’re called. I’m also not entirely sure if I’m just missing something here, so I don’t want to go fiddling with the page, but I did want to point out the possible mistake. Sorry if this was pointless. Update: I did manage to find a page for Logos on blueletterbible.org but I had to do a google search to find it (the websites own search fails to return anything). — Unsigned, by: 145.79.196.86 / talk / contribs
