The phrase "what a passage means" is wonderfully ambiguous. Certainly, one
of the main reasons for B-Greek is to help us figure out what passages
mean, and that does require some interpretation (another wonderfully
ambiguous word).
Theology, however, is not a tool we use to interpret passages here. Syntax,
context, discourse analysis - these are very much in-bounds. Obviously,
what we read in scripture may have ramifications for our theology, but our
theology should not determine what we read in scripture.
Jonathan
