Summary

Migrate the Thompson Chain Reference topic re-evaluation analysis from the static declaring.com page and spreadsheet into individual web-accessible articles.

Background

The Topics to Re-Evaluate page identifies biblical topics affected by passages excluded from the UPDV, using the Thompson Chain Reference system. An accompanying spreadsheet (matches.xlsx) contains 1,713 topics with verse references and categorization.

This analysis has already begun producing individual topic articles (e.g., articles/tongues.md), but the overall framework and remaining topics still live as a static page and spreadsheet.

Plan

Convert the research overview and methodology into an introductory article
Prioritize topics by impact (748 affected topics, 43 at 100% exclusion rate)
Create individual .md articles for high-impact topics, one at a time
Each article analyzes how the UPDV's textual decisions affect understanding of that specific doctrine
Articles auto-render on the website and auto-index into the Bible chat assistant
Eventually retire the static declaring.com page and spreadsheet in favor of the living article series

Issue #33 — Migrate appendix and footnotes to web-accessible articles
Existing article: articles/tongues.md
