Good to know what your criteria are. Also you can see where other's criteria are different. The inclusion of a '3yr lectionary' is something I'd argue must be excluded. That item came about from the Second Vatican in 1969. Surely those people that worshiped Christ from 30AD-1968AD were Christians too.Your observations have been interesting, a different set of criteria would be needed before the bible was even compiled, this era is refereed to as "primitive Christianity"
I don't know if 'recorded' gives the correct impression. It's thought the Gospels were not written by the people whose names their bear. And it's highly unlikely the people who wrote the Gospels were there for a firsthand account. It's very likely they're derivitive of Mark used by some different sects of Christians. So they recorded the 'telephone game' going on in thier sects.Matthew's Gospel has "Sermon on the Mount" Luke's Gospel has "Sermon on the Plain" of Jesus teaching the same lesson in two different places and recorded by two different people. But you knew that already ...
As the DNC has nothing about eliminating abortion but the RNC does that item isn't needed in the DNC. Simply the DNC isn't planning to change abortion law to skirt Roe V Wade, that's the RNC.If you look at the DNC plank it had no exemption either, it was considered "implied"
Certainly the USA will allow lawsuits for any reason. However, many states have a period of waiting and series of steps the parents of the kids to be adopted must follow. This makes infant adoptions less likely, the kid ages during this time of course. However, it doesn't mean the birth parents show up and get to take the kid whenever they want. In Minnesota after the final document is signed by the birth parents they have 10 days to change their mind. The only time a court would be allowed to reverse this is if the birth parents can prove they were frauded into giving up their kid. Many States are closer to a month.A big problem here is its too hard to adopt, and then the birth mother could always change her mind ... , an adoption is never final here
