There a difference in translation. I personally don't believe the word of God is known to all men (men being used to describe all people). Other translations changes "bringeth" to "offers," and has "appeared" showing up, prior to. which is quite a significant difference, IMO, as it makes note of the word existing, and is for man's salvation, but does not take for granted that he has been exposed to it prior to death. This reconciles well with the thought of those incapable of accepting Christ, as not being automatically condemned to hell (ie children, mentally disabled. Etc).
Gentlemen...
Can you provide any biblical basis for praying to Mary, or any saint, or any other creature made by God? Where has God ever condoned speaking/communing/praying to the dead? Further, what basis have you to think that God's creations have any influence over God?
The God of the Bible does not leave any room for us to be praying to his creations. God repeatedly condemns idolatry (which is by no means limited to physical gold idols), and describes himself as jealous for our praise. "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength," He commands in Deut 6:5. It would be difficult to argue that we should give God the leftover prayer time after we finish Hailing Mary fifty times. No, God does not share.
Deuteronomy 18:11 tells us that anyone who "consults with the dead" is "detestable to the Lord."
If that is not compelling enough, why is there a need for anything beyond the one perfect (and explicitly named) intercessor, Jesus? Paul writes: "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). If it weren't condemned already, it would certainly be insulting to Christ to turn to others to do His exclusive work.
Since this thread is sort of a catch-all for religious things... I found this story odd.

“We want inclusion for all. We are trying to find a solution to a problem,” he said.
For anyone who wants to teach the Bible as true fact in any classroom on public school property, I have nothing but warranted animosity.

Well, a good solution for the problem would be to start NOT being backwards dickheads and then go from there.
All. From the Greek word pas: all, the whole, every kind of.
Lets see. At one translated word per post, I guess I'll check back in about post 1177 and see how you wrap this up

...You have my attention. If the universe is indeed doughnut based, cops are God's chosen people for sure.
