But that's talking about, as it says, the Second Apocalypse of James, which is a totally different document from the Infancy Gospel of James. Your link did indeed say some of the other writings it was talking about were gnostic, like the above one. It did not make that claim about the Infancy...

Neither link says anything about it being gnostic, at least not that I can see.

If you are going to make a claim like this, it is incumbent to offer a link on it. Anyway, having looked it up, it is unclear how valid this claim is. From the start of this article on National Review...

What is gnostic about the Infancy Gospel of James? I have looked at the link you provide, and it says nothing at all about anything gnostic in it. Are you getting it mixed up with the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, which your link does identify as gnostic?

If you mean it didn't specifically say "this is only the case for states, not federal law", I believe this is true. However, the entire case was concerning state law, not federal law. In other words, that means it doesn't necessarily apply to federal law, as there are objections that can be made...

Charles C. Cooke of National Review seems to count as a Constitutional purist to me, and he thought the idea that the President gets any kind of constitutional immunity--even to lawsuits--was completely incorrect: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/04/there-is-no-immunity-clause/

Can you cite specifically where Cyprian says this? It's important to know this so it can be checked for context, and also to make sure it's an accurate quote rather than something like the Telesphorus quote that was offered which turned out to be from a forged letter.

I am not so certain why this would be necessary. The argument made is that it's necessary to keep up with cases... but is it? Is there evidence that the SCOTUS needs to take more cases? The sole point of evidence that there's a need for them to take more is that they receive 7,000 to 8,000...

Although your post was aimed at AFrazier, I want to make a few comments on a few parts of it. It's true that the Bishop of Rome (the Pope) didn't convene the Council of Nicaea, but contrary to your statement, Constantine did. You are correct, however, that he didn't "make the decisions at that...

I've posted it before, but I'll do it again. I feel this article (by someone who cares for neither Trump nor Biden, if it matters) does a quite good job explaining that there was no stolen election: https://decivitate.substack.com/p/biden-really-won The whole thing is worth reading, but I'm...

"All men are created equal" is not in the Constitution. It was in the Declaration of Independence.

Your claim was: "It is true. The main Christian festivals are based on Pagan celebrations. Christmas is just the winter solstice in fancy dress." I pointed out that "This is a popular claim, but is largely lacking support. The first real evidence of any winter solstice celebration among the...

Well, no President has done it so far, so exactly how it would work is unclear. There's various duties of the President, some of which can theoretically be done from prison, and some of which could just not be done at all or delegated by him. For example, signing of bills to make them laws. This...

Well, no. This verdict doesn't make anyone "know" that Trump committed a crime. All people "know" that they didn't before is that he was convicted of it. The key question is how much they think a conviction is worth. The pro-Trump and anti-Trump people don't really care about this result; the...

One should be a bit cautious in regards to the Federalist Papers as a source of the thinking behind the Constitution. There is a lot of great information in it, but we must remember something important: The Federalist Papers were essentially a work of propaganda. The whole reason they were...

Were they basically the same men? This was the committee who made the Articles of Confederation (each from a different state). John Dickinson (Pennsylvania) Samuel Adams (Massachusetts) Josiah Bartlett (New Hampshire) Button Gwinnett (Georgia) Joseph Hewes (North Carolina) Stephen Hopkins (Rhode...

While I think first past the post voting is extremely flawed, I'm not sure how much you can blame the Constitution itself for that. The Constitution doesn't require first past the post voting; it leaves the method of election up to the states and congress (which did basically all opt for first...

Some people might be tempted to say things like "slavery" or "universal suffrage" but the fact of the matter is those never would have passed at the time (it should also be noted that one thing no one could have plausibly foreseen was the invention of the cotton gin, which played a big role in...

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.
