Merge Discussion March 2013

This feels to me like a subtopic of the Bible translation article, not its own article. StevenJ81 (talk) 17:52, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Steven, Thanks for making the suggestion. I feel like this should remain a stand alone article. As you can see, the term is widely used and has been quoted by many notable organizations. Making Bible translations is becoming easier and easier due to a multitude of scholars and the inexpensive cost of printing. Bibles that niche to certain worldviews will become more common. I believe this will lead to a greater emphasis on the gender-neutral issue for Bibles. I would also state that I'm fairly well studied on the issue. For religious people, this is a very important topic. My hope is that others will expand the article. Since it was only recently created, I would like to give others more time to develop the page. I would not be opposed to information on this page being added to the site you suggested. That's my two cents, I look forward to what others have to say.

Me, too. If this develops more, I'm happy to leave it in place, too. (Renamed to "Gender-neutral" per capitalization MOS, but I'm sure you don't have a problem with that.) Let's see what happens ... StevenJ81 (talk) 13:28, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources & POV

The cbmw.org is not a neutral source and is being used to add material to the article. This is more of an advocacy group and this article is being setup to only say what the advocacy groups say. Also tagging it as POV. Basileias (talk) 04:31, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Basileias, I believe you are simply misinformed about CBMW. They are a group of very notable theologians. Members include Wayne Grudem, Daniel Akin, C. J. Mahaney, Albert Mohler, and many more: http://cbmw.org/council-members-2/. They are a multi-denominational group that represents traditional Christian theology on gender. This is not simply an advocacy group, but a group that represents traditional evangelicalism. . . which is a significant part of Christianity in America.

I would also note that the quote was not to state their point of view, but rather to source the NIV comparison quotes. Please leave these materials up until others have a chance to speak to the issue. Again, the source is to show the NIV quotes are accurate. Toverton28 (talk) 22:08, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PFD

Should this article be deleted or merged with another? There is already other articles covering this topic. Gender in Bible translation for instance. Basileias (talk) 04:44, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
