Beats me. Should Jesus have have dressed like the king of the universe when he walked the earth helping the poor?

Then is Acts 2:38 modalistic heresy? Acts 8:16? Acts 10:48? Acts 19:5? Where does the idea come from, anyway, that "...in the name of..." is some kind of magic formula? It simply means you are acting in accordance with and in authority of an entity, not yourself alone. A police officer acts...

Now ain't that something brand new! I wouldn't. Do you wear expensive shoes [hundreds $$] to distribute food and necessities? Which is why she was there-- not to get the votes for her husband from those in the line, but from those who see pictures and read about her. IOW her purpose...

I didn't know either of them have been minted into coins yet. Wouldn't be bad though-- "Bush or Obama" instead of "heads or tails."

How many people did you stone last Saturday because you saw them working?

A lot of things. Working for a living, for one. Earning a paycheck puts food on the table better than praying for it and doing nothing else.

Who's Calvin Quiz?

The closest the US Constitution comes is in Article IV, Sec. 2, paragraph 3: "No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, But shall be...

I didn't 'wanna' look at that verse a bit more closely, but I did anyway. And so what? "He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve" does not say Cephas was not included in The Twelve. If I say "This post was read by Ed Sutton, then by all who read this section," that would not mean you read it...

There are more apostles than only 12, as both Paul and Barnabas are called apostles. But supposing the question concerns which 12 are The 12 which will judge the tribes of Israel, I think it is Matthias. The reasons are if his apostleship was discounted in favor of Paul-- or, well, something...

No; it is as I said. Nope. However, that IS what the Malachi passage promises if we test God. Since the test fails, the possible conclusions are: 1)the passage is a lie, 2)it only 'works' with crops and livestock, or 3)it is not applicable to us (NT Christians). So if the Israelites did...

He's a pile of communist filth, publically moderating many of his views in order to get a second term, in which he will become the broadest constructionist ever, creating a monstrous beauracracy that will dwarf FDR's and LBJ's. To get an idea of how "sincere" he is, watch this...

Because I am one who has actually tested God, as the Malachi passage to which you refer, instructs. And does it hold up? No. The coefficient of correaltion fell completely out; the statistical test of hypothesis failed.

In the church I grew up in, we did something I have to consdier weird now, but at the time I suppose I didn't think much about it. This was for the 'kids' (and I'm not sure just what age groups were involved) to write the name of any mother in the church besides their own who they wish was their...

The point is that you were mixing scriptures and claiming the principles of one demonstrate something said of another.

"By this the world will know you are my disciples, that you love one another"-- which you claimed and to which I was responding-- is John 13:35.

The only way that is true would be if his disciples-- to whom he was speaking-- were each others' enemies (John 13:35).

Should the cleaning store clerk want to fight back, she is at the right place to carry out the words of Jesus: "If you have no sword, it will profit you to sell your garment and buy one."
