Remove the 'updates' from the question, and retag
Jun 4, 2014 at 19:29 comment added user9485 If I asked about methods of prostitution the ancients were practicing (often it was rooted in false worship) that would be very different than today's prostitution which is almost always for money. So I'd ask "what was the routine of a prostitute in Jewish/Christian times". We'd all understand that perhaps I'm studying the great harlot of Revelation...and nobody would have any questions about validity of the question. Simply switch "prostitute" for "dog". Obviously the two subjects differed greatly between then and now.
Jun 4, 2014 at 15:11 comment added Zoe @TheFreemason 1) Read the whole explanation of his question, not just the title. 2) Suggest possible edits and changes to title and queston e.g. Is there a Christian denomination on earth that reads a Bible where dogs are goofy and full of goodness? Etc... If you really think this should be in History or Dog Breeding, you'll need to tell a mod why or tell the asker why.
Jun 4, 2014 at 15:07 comment added Zoe @TheFreemason Well, you're the one who suggested History and Dog Breeding hence my reply. Previously, the question asked, "Were the dogs of biblical civilizations more wild or different than our highly refined ones of our day". The question now asks, "...common among the Jews between the time of the exodus (which would include the Egyptian dogs) and the Christian times,..." Christianity regard the Bible in it's entirety, even those before the term "Christian" was coined because the Saviour that Christians believe in came to fulfil the Law and the Prophets (Jewish beliefs).
Jun 4, 2014 at 14:47 comment added The Freemason @Zoe We're going about this the wrong way... How is this about the doctrine of Christianity or a denomination? I'm not arguing that this is a bad question. I just don't see the fit in Christianity.SE. The question itself is asking for an "ancient Jew" context - which isn't Christianity. It sneaks in "or ancient Christian", but an ancient Jew is NOT an ancient Christian. I assume that ancient Judaism would be before 583BC (return from Babylon). Ancient Christianity would be somewhere after 30AD? The time lines don't meet.
Jun 4, 2014 at 14:02 comment added Zoe @TheFreemason In the context of his question, he is asking about the ancient Jews of the Bible so this can't be in History. Why would this be about dog breeding? It's about the type and representation of dogs in the Bible. Not of modern times. Hermenuetics is the interpretation of Biblical verses. 1Up is basically asking the type and representation of dogs according to Christianity and the Bible because he is a student of prophesy. I don't see a verse there. If he is asking about a specific verse that mentions dogs than yes, it can be in BH.

Jun 4, 2014 at 13:06 comment added The Freemason History.SE? DogBreading.SE? I don't see how this question is really related to Christianity specifically. Maybe Hermenuetics, but mostly History or something.
