Confession
Definition: A declaration or an acknowledgment, either publicly or in private, (1) of what a person believes or (2) of his sins.
Is the rite of reconciliation, including confession (personal confession into the ear of a priest), as taught by the Catholic Church Scriptural?
The manner in which the priest is addressed
The traditional formula, still often used, is: “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been [length of time] since my last Confession.”—U.S. Catholic magazine
Matt. 23:1, 9,“Jesus said, . . . ‘You must call no one on earth your father, since you have only one Father, and he is in heaven.’”

Sins that can be forgiven
“The Church has always taught that every sin, no matter how serious, can be forgiven.”

Heb. 10:26, If, after we have been given knowledge of the truth, we should deliberately commit any sins, then there is no longer any sacrifice for them.”

Mark 3:29, “Let anyone blaspheme against the Holy Spirit and he will never have forgiveness: he is guilty of an eternal sin.”

How penance is to be shown
Frequently the confessor directs that the penitent say a specified number of “Our Fathers” and “Hail Marys.”

Matt. 6:7, “In your prayers do not babble [that is, utter in a meaninglessly repetitious manner] as the pagans do, for they think that by using many words they will make themselves heard.”

Matt. 6:9-12,“You should pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, . . . forgive us our debts.’” (Nowhere in the Bible are we commanded to pray to or through Mary. See Philippians 4:6,

Rom. 12:9, Do not let your love be a pretence, but sincerely prefer good to evil.”

I'm not a pervert. This is a serious question. I was just wondering because I have seen adult movies with twins in it and they do stuff with each other. I know it's not camera tricks because I'm a film major and I would be able to tell. So is it legal?

I do not want any religious because there were many wars just because of religious reasons, and some time there are some disagreements in the bibles, for example, there are saying that, men are evil but if they are wealthy, they can go to heavon and poor people cant.

Meaning I wouldn't have to pay anything for another car if i traded my new car?

I just bought a brand new triple white special edition new beetle convertible this summer (retail $26,630) Although it is the cutest little car in the world, I am thinking about trading it in for a Mini Cooper Convertible because the mini gets double the gas mileage (I drive ALOT and it would save me money in the long run) and when I do want to sell it in the future, the value of the Mini stays solid.

Do you think I can have an even trade off? Because the retail price for Mini convertibles are only around 22 to 24K?

I know this question was already asked, but I would like modern answers, considering they both have new albums.

It is a hard decision for me, because Avril is really girly and immature now, but has a lot of energy in her videos. Kelly has the disadvantage of being not-as-quick as Avril, but seems heavier and stronger than Avril. What do you think?

I have a mac desktop computer and just recently tried to install the new "Leopard". It wouldn't work on my computer so it told me if I wanted to quit, I'd have to restart. I restarted my computer and all I get is the small circle with the thing going around and around, under the apple logo. I don't know how to take the Leopard Install disk out during this or how to get my computer to start. Please help.

Last night when I came home from work, I noticed my betta's fins were like almost gone. Not totally but they aren't the long flowing fins they were. and I swear two days ago when I fed him his fins were fine. I bought maracyn-2 and did a 100% change in the water, will he be ok? (his name's Paco.) He's swimming fine and is as active as he always is. Any suggestions on how to optimize his chances at recovery? I'm so worried about him, I feel like a bad owner.
