I often see people saying "Why do you quote from your Catechism?" "Why not just use the Bible"

Well, first, do you know what the word "catechism" means? It is from the Greek "katēchein" meaning "to teach". So, it is the teaching of the Church. Very simple.

The Bible is the inspired word of God. All of us Christians understand this. But, a Bible exegete (interpreter) will tell you that the Bible is what we call "materially sufficient" but not "formally sufficient" for knowing the Christian faith. In other words, all the "stuff" (as Carl Sagan would say) or "material" is in there, but it is not laid out in a "form" as to be perfectly clear what it is saying.

Enter "the Church". Christ established a teaching church: "..go and make disciples of all nations.. ..teaching them to obey everything I have commanded" (Matt 28: 19-20). And that's what the Catechism is, the fulfillment of Christ's command to the apostles, and their sucessors, to teach.

I'm having trouble inserting a suppository on my 'recipient' because he keeps clenching his cheeks.

is there any way to get him to stop or loosen up? i already tried to ask him to relax. his (my sons) doctor said he must have a suppository atleast once every 2 days for the next week and a half.

It's only a hate crime if the attacker is white. Btw, I'm Asian. It's really weird in a country that is mostly white, where laws are made by whites, is so against whites. You'd never see something this dumb in Korea.

If God knows everything we are going to do and say, and knows what our destiny is, then how can we have free will? If we do have free will, then how can God be all knowing/powerful, cause he wouldn't be able to tell what we're going to think or do next, right?

I'm a contractor who is being sued for $1,100 in small claims. I agreed to Vinyl Side a house and Garage for $2,500 material and Labor combined. I received $1,700 down to furnish materials. We completed the house and half the garage but run out of money to finish. We never received any money for any labor performed. I did not have the money to finish the project out of my own pocket and felt bad It was taking so long. I agreed to finish the job out of my own pocket at my own expense to keep the peace. Apparently I was taking to long to come up with the other materials and he threatened to sue me. I told him fine , and told him I had done enough and wasn't doing anymore and to do what he had to. He is suing me for $1,080 for material

Because of you

Because of you
my world is now whole,
Because of you
love lives in my soul.
Because of you
I have laughter in my eyes,
Because of you
I am no longer afraid of good-byes.
You are my pillar
my stone of strength,
With me through all seasons
and great times of length.
My love for you is pure
boundless through space and time,
it grows stronger everyday
with the knowledge that you'll always be mine.
At the altar
I will joyously say 'I do',
for I have it all now
and it's all because of you.

She works as a hostess at a restaurant I've been to on a couple occasions. Last Wednesday I walked into the restaurant and got a take-out menu from her and looked deeply into her eyes...and I kept staring at her occasionally while I was looking at the menu.

They brought me into a separate small room to finally take my order and while I was in there with another waiter, she walked in and just sort of stood around and didn't say anything...and then she left. What did this mean?

After she left, I asked the waiter if she was available and he said "yes...go for it man".

She seems pretty quiet and very shy...and based on her job at this restaurant, it will be hard to stop her from working and talk to her. I kind of want to talk to one of her co-workers and explain the situation and have them sort of set us up...as they can ease into her...which makes the experience less jolting for us.

What should I do?
