I’ve heard Jewish people call him Yahweh (from Hebrew YHWH).

I know Muslims call him Allah.

But other than Jehovah's Witnesses, the only way I’ve ever heard Christians refer to him as, is “God,” “Lord,” or “Father” - all of which are titles, not names.

Exodus 34:14 says that his name is “Jealous.” From the Christian viewpoint, is this his proper name? Is it something else? Is he nameless?

Since the 12 disciples/apostles will judge the 12 tribes of Israel, I was wondering what nationality each one of them is?

With our hysterical PC culture today, where it's apparently unhip to just be an American, just for parity's sake shouldn't white people be identified with their European heritage?

My friend and I were arguing about this, I know it's stupid. But I really feel that if a girl is alone at night, it could make her uncomfortable to be approached in any way. Can anyone offer any input? Also, I know there are exceptions to my point, but I am just making a general assumption.

As a person recovering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (particularly with hygiene rituals), I wonder how often it is OK for me to wash my hands while still being in the "normal" range. Here is my guess for appropriate circumstances, if anyone has suggestions, especially for the last instance:
1) before eating/handling food
2) after using the restroom
3) whenever hands are tangibly dirty (as in, have food/dirt on them, etc)
4) MISC - after working with raw meat/eggs, petting an animal, dusting your house, etc
5) When returning from a public place where you had to touch a lot of communal items (e.g. handrails, library books . .. )

Please give me your opinion, especially on situations similar to 4 and 5.

What does the Church believe about salvation? Do only fully-babtized Catholics go to heaven? What about the other Christians? What happens if a Catholic doesn't confess their (mortal) sins before death?

Anything else about what the Catholic Church believes about salvation?

Thanks
God Bless

My man and I went to Chinese Food tonight and our fortunes were not only NOT fortunes, they were like vague, obscure STATEMENTS.
Mine said "Dare to dream, hope, believe, seek, feel, find, and love."
My man's said "Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your undersanding."
THESE ARE NOT FORTUES!! What is UP with the fortune cookie makers???

I was reading the biography on Saddam and was rather shocked to see that it appears that he married his own cousin and that his daughters also married their cousins. Is this normal in the Middle East? In Islam?

What do people mean when they say they like a person with an "Open Mind"? What is an open mind? Does that mean, willing to try new things? Or is it more than just that? And is close minded the opposite of that?
