[Cronos]

But let's, for the moment, say that faith is a "two-way street". Then you are still implying that God has to give at least a half measure. What is the difference between God giving us a half measure of faith or a whole measure of faith?

God gives us full measure when we accept it -- remember that our act of acceptance is "Rom 10:17 So Faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of Christ"

remember that our act of acceptance is "Rom 10:17 So Faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of Christ"

1Co 2:14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

We, in our unsaved state cannot accept the things of God. They are folly. We are unable to spiritually discern them unless God grants us His wisdom.
