The opinion is expressed that *we are best equipped to help with the historical, linguistic, and literary aspects of texts rather than their theological aspects, although when you ask for the former you may also get the latter.

The poster indicates that he downvotes material inquiring as to theological aspects. (That is his prerogative as a member).

My question: Is what he stated established corporately by the forum, or is this personal opinion. I want to establish if this is stated also with authority and consensus of the forum.

My concern: the site states that it is for experts and for those interested in exploring what the text means. This would naturally include people who believe that Scripture is God's Word. How can a text inspired by God possibly be separated from the study of God by those who believe in God!
