| Feb 17, 2014 at 20:26 | comment | added | Tau | @Sarah-If you read the Metas where Jack and Dan interact, there is a variance of opinion. What is established is that "Theology Questions are off-topic", but even Dan would agree that 'theology' leaks out when we apply basic hermeneutic principles to the text. He has proposed a "NPOV" application which has been countered and resisted-perhaps this is your point of confusion. As to "truth statements", this has been debated as well; the conclusion is to "Show your work", and leave the voting to the community. | |

edited to quote the post directly so as to no misrepresent him

| Feb 17, 2014 at 18:29 | comment | added | Caleb Mod | This seems to be a miss-representation of what was said. I was surprised to hear of somebody saying they downvote anything that deals with theology (which is what I inferred from your post here) but in the chat I see something else: they said they downvote when the questioner asks for the linguistic/historical/literary analysis and an answer only (italics theirs) gives theology. Can you see how different those are? | |
