Jim Jordan, is probing how Bragg handled Trump’s historic indictment. Pomerantz, who left Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office after disagreements over the direction of the Trump investigation, was subpoenaed by the Republican-controlled House committee.

Origen later became a preeminent theologian of his age-and an advocate of figurative interpretation.Īnother example: In the mid-1800s, when anesthesia was first introduced for women in labor, there was an uproar. It’s a dangerous one.Ĭonsider: In the third century, the scholar Origen is said to have interpreted literally Matthew 19:12-“There are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven”-and castrated himself.
