    • Yes, allegations automatically disqualify everybody all the time. Now you need JimL to run in her screaming "Send them all to jail! Every one of them!!!"

      Where were you when Hillary had a TON of 'allegations' against her?
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Basically, three versions of the same newspaper, so it's not exactly the widespread denouncement that you make it out to be. But you sure fell for it hook, line, and sinker, didn't you?

          Not only that, but he responds with a Daily Caller link - which I was told when I used it as a source it was "tabloid trash".

          • I am not well enough to do much other than to post a link at this time; however, there is an aspect of the Judge Roy Moore case that I have not seen referenced in this thread, and that is the reluctance of news media to present testimony favorable to Judge Roy Moore when such testimony is offered to said media.

            As an example, consider the information presented here: https://theconservativetreehouse.com...moore-accuser/

              Yep... as Breitbart reported earlier, a dozen character witnesses have come forward, including women that Moore had dated, and the only place I've seen it reported is... Breitbart.

                The media has been very eager to jump upon every scrap of salacious gossip and treat it as the irrefutable gospel truth while exhibiting a strong disinclination to report on anything that could be considered exculpating.

                You'd almost think there was some sort of agenda in play here.

                  And, not surprisingly, the three most liberal papers in the state - none of which even endorsed Moore to begin with as far as I know.

I am sorry to hear that you don't find Protestantism orthodox or normative, but maybe that's something we can discuss at another time.
                      I didn't mean to say that I don't find Protestantism in general orthodox, but that I may find some uniquely Protestant views unorthodox. I don't want to make a blanket statement without knowing what exactly you have in mind. But, by all means, push back. No one should be taking my view as authoritative, or unable to be opposed, whether due to my staff position or otherwise.

                      Sorry I took so long to get back to this; I didn't have time until now to go into detail and I wanted to leave the thread unread until I got to it.

                          I'm still interested in knowing what consensus there might be on the references in Mark. Looking again, I see ..
                          Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon ... 6:3

                          Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salo'me ... 15:40

                          Mary the mother of Joses ... 15:47

                          Mary the mother of James, and Salo'me ... 16:1 (immediately following 15:47)

                          The last three are clearly the same Mary, as they're all in the company of Mary Magdalene and part of a continuing self-contained narrative. Taken together with the first reference, I'd find it hard to argue they're not all references to Mary, the mother of Jesus.
                          Given that something like 25% of Jewish women at the time were named Mary, they're all identified differently, and that if the author wanted to identify the mother of Jesus, the central character of the story, I'd think he'd simply have referred to her as just that.
