Indeed. This is the big issue I have with the claim of those who say the Passover counted as a Sabbath. They simply assert it was a Sabbath, but never point to any instance of it being referred to as such. It's never clearly referred to as such in the Old Testament. Yes, it is a day they're...

The linked website unfortunately experienced an outage for a while earlier today, which was presumably when you tried to access it. It's working now.

Yes, that was the page I indeed saw in Tibetan Astrology. However, we still notice this isn't the page you claimed it was on and it is missing part of the quote you claimed it had ("Saturn's day always fell on the 8th, 15th, 22nd or 29th of each month" is nowhere to be found). While the page...

Well, if you'd like to see Schmidt's argument for it being legitimate, it can be found archived here.

This was directed at someone else, but to answer it, it's in Book 4 23.3. The translation of that section by Thomas C. Schmidt reads (footnotes included): For the first advent of our Lord in the flesh, when he was born in Bethlehem, was December 25th,3 Wednesday,4 while Augustus was in his...

Firstly, it would be much appreciated if you were to not put your quotes of works in a quotes box, because quotes within quotes are removed when replying. That is, when I quote your message, your quote disappears from the book (as seen above). When offering quotations from works, it is far...

I have not read his book, but I have read his article. Unless he changed things between the article and book, this is does not not seem an accurate representation. There was no actual need to defer adjudication in order to "do more damage", adjudication was deferred because going so far without...

It's not clear at all to me what this has to do with either your original mention or Citizens United or my response on the subject. In any event, you're presumably referring to Jeffrey Toobin's article on the subject. But the problem is, according to the facts of his article... Roberts didn't...

The photo evidence is just that he flew a flag. People aren't simply saying that. What people are saying, which ventures into areas of greater speculation, is that he did so specifically to try to show support for "stop the steal". Alito said that he didn't have anything to do with it and the...

Have you attempted to send them a private message? Some people have it set up to give them e-mail alerts which might catch their attention. (even if it doesn't, it at least means if they ever do come back to the forum they'd get an alert on it)

While there is some truth to this (the "racial jungle" quote is legitimate), there's considerable exaggerations. Robert Byrd was a leader in his local chapter of the KKK, but quit the organization around 1950. The events you allude to are in the 1970's, namely long after Robert Byrd wasn't a...

Leah Litman saying something Alito did is wrong is sort of like Rudy Giuliani or Jon Eastman saying something Joe Biden did was wrong; they've got enough dislike of the person to begin with that their testimony is rather suspect (it's not quite as bad as Giulani/Eastman, to be fair, but only by...

Well the thing is, the way the system works has been changed considerably in choosing who the nominees are. The public primaries is a relatively new thing. For a long time, it was a caucus system. State parties would choose their delegates who would go off to the convention, would debate with...

Kapernick got criticism because of how he was dragging politics into football games. If he had made his opinions known "off the field" instead, then he probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the level of dislike he did. Various athletes make their political views known, but they normally do...

I don't think CNN is really a good comparison to Fox News. CNN has a liberal bias, that much is undeniable. However, I would say (at least from what I have seen from it) their liberal bias is considerably less than Fox News's conservative bias. The more proper comparison to Fox News is MSNBC...
