Throughout the Gospels, Jesus always presents Himself as being in a subservient position to God the Father. At no time does Jesus claim equality with God.

Like many, his power went to his head. Not even David was immune (just ask Uriah). Don't know about being a hero, but he is certainly an precautionary example of the price of disobedience to God.

Justified = just if I'd never sinned

There is nowhere near enough information in the Bible on the subject to draw an informed conclusion, so basically this is all useless speculation. All that can be said with any certainty is that God created him because it was His will to do so.

In Jewish society of biblical times, a boy is considered 'of age' at 13 and a girl at 12 (the age when the have their bar or bat mitzvahs)

Good question. I'll get back to you on that The passage in James 4 is taken out of context here. James is speaking here of people getting ahead of themselves with planning, as he goes on to say in v15 -- 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that."

Also worth noting that Naaman was not bowing in worship but bowing in the process of assisting his king, and, as you mentioned, God knew Naaman's heart was with Him.

Oh, to be able to go back in time and slowly walk past them eating a big, juicy cheeseburger.

Blah blah blah... more OPINIONS from various people which, in the end, don't mean jack squat. The Holy Bible includes Revelation because it is God's Will that it included and He had the Holy Spirit apply Its influence to make it so.

I believe 2 purposes were served here: 1) to protect the disciples from the Jews and 2) to prevent them from interfering in Christ's "trial" and crucifixion.

To imply the Bible is sexist is to imply God is sexist. Sexism is a human concept which holds no meaning whatsoever to God. As the Creator He neither needs nor requires our approval for His commands.

I'll take "Useless words to know" for $500, Alex.

Exactly. God didn't give us the Bible because He thought we needed more doorstops.

Praying to Mary to pray to God for you is still praying to Mary.

There is absolutely nothing in scripture to support anything you said... but please do continue. And you've also completely missed the point of why Jesus came here in the first place.

*cough*hail mary*cough*

Adam was created from dust, he literally came from the Earth. Christ came down to earth from heaven via the Holy Spirit causing Mary to conceive. (Stating the obvious, I know) However, when Adam died, his body returned to the earth from whence it came. But when Christ died, He was resurrected...

Yes, but Christ was indeed from the line of Adam. Scripture clearly states multiple times that Jesus was from the line of David. Now, David's line can be traced back to Judah, then to Jacob -- Isaac -- Abraham -- Noah -- Adam. One of the primary purposes of the OT is to demonstrate a direct...

Well... for starters there is Roman's 3:23 "For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Note it does not say, "all have sinned except Mary over there". Secondly, for Christ to defeat sin, He had to be born of the flesh. To be born of someone who is sinless defeat the purpose, as...
