You say

I agree that there is "only one name" and that "there is only one mediator between God (the Father) and men". King David didn't measure up to men's idea of a King, but its not up to men's ideas, its up to God to chose a leader. Unlike you, I am not prepared to tell Jesus what I need. Obedience is a virtue.

Mary is only human and as such has no power. If her image appears on any worldly object it is not thru Mary's power that it happens, but rather thru the power of her son. I make no comment on whether the image is real or a hoax, but merely point out what you Fundi's have told me...over and...over..."Mary is only a human".

No, no its not

Abrahams story is a picture of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.Abraham is representative of God. Isaac is representative of Jesus carrying the wood on his back and is going to be the sacrifice for sin suffering our penalty, in the same way that Jesus is the sacrifice for our sin. The knife represents the justice of God against sin bringing death, and the fire is symbolic of the burning wrath of God against sin. The ram caught in the thicket is a substitute for Isaac being offered in his stead(Genesis 22:13), in the same way that Jesus is a substitute for us, taking our punishment for our sin.
God placed Jesus on that cross. God crushed him, God smote Him, the Bible says "it pleased the Lord to bruise him", "that when he is made an offering for sin the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand", and "He shall see the travail of His soul and shall be SATISFIED"(Isaiah 53)
Did God sin by crucifying His own Son that we might be saved? No.

Mr. Evans,
What was it that Job said?
"But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity? In all this Job did not sin with his lips." JOB 2:10
What a blessing if we were to have a leader of this nation who truly feared God and not man.
I cannot vote for a professing Christian politician if he is not adamantly against the perversions of abortion and homosexuality. It just may be that the Lord is going to judge this nation. A vote for a lesser of two evils is an unrighteous vote.
"And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to ruin him without cause." JOB 2:3
Accountable to God, we Christians need to examine Mr. Paul's voting record.

, we Christians need to examine Mr. Paul's voting record
But do not strain out gnats and allow
a camel to pass through
or something like that

Just vote Christian

Concerning Ron Paul,
We might want to check out his voting records since 2001 on abortion, homosexuality, marijuana, etc.
JOB 1:8

Voting results tonight
Ron Paul got 10% of the vote
not bad
Huck 33%
Mccain/ Thompson 13%

True. I really am just curious about the Abraham story & its implications. Can God order someone to perform an act that God has already deemed a sin?
I realize chronologically the ten commandments were delivered to Moses after the Abraham story , but the ban on killing must be eternal.

Hang in there

Actually, these people already believe in God, so much so, that they are ready to find evidence of his action in the daily lives. To me, it appears, that he has blessed them with evidence of his power. Good for them. What they don't need is a self-righteous Bible-beater, bring them down.

In all these type of things, including
movies, and the wonderful art collection
of the roman catholic church are just setting a stage.

Why does every picture, (funny there are none actually) shows Jesus with long hair.
Although there is no discription in the Bible, (the one that says something about no graven images) says
1 Corinthians 11:14
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

What they don't need is a self-righteous Bible-beater

Yes they do

It does not state a measure of faith as if he is giving a portion of faith out to everyone.
lol your funny. All of you Calvs are funny.
It's the measure of faith. The word there is reffering to an instrument used for measuring, viz a staff. Much like a ruler.
ie.

and if that's not clear enough for you

If you would (ever) care to read the context (its in the same verse) then it would stick out like a soar thumb.
1. Firstly, God is not speaking of salvation but of service
2. Secondly, God is contrasting measureing our SERVICE carnally verses a spiritual measurement
A lot of you Calvs keep insisting that Romans 12:3 is teaching that God gives out pieces of faith

"according as God hath dealt"

Don't know if God needs a measuring devise, maybe He can just speak it

All your verses say what I'm saying
Did calvin say the same
I don't know

without our measure
Of what

a measure to reach even unto you.
what will

measured to you, and with what measure ye mete-talking about judging, not measure
what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged

It was these Roman Armies (Roman People).. [Solomon's/Herod's] Temple); and the end thereof...with a flood,

What an argument! The "gifts" of the Spirit are gifts that are given to saved people and the Scriptures say so.
Faith to believe the gospel is given to no one! The very idea is preposterous.

Now, I can say with confidence that here you are wrong. Eph. 2:8-9 declares that faith is a gift as follows:
"For by grace are you saved THROUGH FAITH, and that not of yourselves, it {faith} is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast."

I showed you this verse before
Romans 12:3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Are you accusing me of making up concepts and presenting unscriptural ideas, dude?

Like the White-"Pope" being AN Anti-Christ NOT THE Anti-Christ! THE Anti-Christ is The Black-"Pope" to be REVEALED in the future;

The "PEOPLE of the prince that shall come" = The ROMAN PEOPLE
The "PRINCE that shall come" has dual fulfillment in:
#1-Titus/70 AD
#2-THE Anti-Christ/REVEALED After THE RAPTURE
