[edit] Augustine

St. Augustine took Seth's name to mean 'resurrection'. Should this information be included in the article?

I would say that it should be included (as long as there is a reference). HammerHeadHuman 17:45, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arabic script

Can someone knowledgable enough add the name of Seth in Arabic scrpit? (Done)

[edit] Redundant

"Many have also supposed Jesus to have been the son of Joseph, himself a descendant of Seth (Luke 3:23-38)."

There is no reason for this to be posted in the Jubilee section, it has nothing to do with later Christian interpretations, or Jesus, and Jesus supposed connection is already addressed in the NT section. I edited this line out.

[edit] This article needs references

Yeah. There aren't any. Why? Titanium Dragon 08:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I looked up how to put references to verses in the Bible. Apparently you put them in the main text - as this article does. For example, on one webpage chosen at random

When reference is made to the Bible, the book, chapter and verse are abbreviated and cited in the main text:

The Paraclete is to remain with them (Jn 14:17), to teach them (Jn 14:26) and to declare what he has heard (Jn 16:13).

Are you suggesting we should disregard this and put Biblical references in a References section at the bottom? Hebrides 12:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Irrelevance

So much is mentioned about Cain and Abel, much of this information seems irrelevant in a article about Seth... Anyone else agree?HammerHeadHuman 04:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Similarly, there was lots of interpolation in the Hebrew Bible section that has nothing to do with the Hebrew Bible. I have removed it.
