of the Bible?

I'm only asking to try to learn something about Catholicism. Would a Sunday Sermon be as likely to refer to one of the deutero-canonical books as it would be to refer to one of the other books of the Bible? Are Catholics generally very familiar with them?

Is it really bad and/or a sin to believe in horoscopes or even look at your horoscope and see what it says?

Let's look at your own book of mythology shall we?
In Matthew 7:7 Jesus himself says the following;
Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

No conditions, no warnings, no limits.
Here is another;
Mark 11:24 says;
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Again, there are no conditions or limits. Just ask and you get your wish.
So, if this is the case, why has there NEVER been an amputee healed? Not so much as a finger replaced with prayer?
Why do you think that is?

I got married a year ago and my mother-in-law is a Jehovah's witness. I was raised Catholic and my hubby was raised Jehovah's witness for a couple of years but he was never baptized. When we have children how do we go about teaching them about religion without choosing one religion over the other?? Do you think it will be an obstacle later on when the issue is present??

"The First Baptist Church dismissed Mary Lambert on Aug. 9 with a letter explaining that the church had adopted an interpretation that prohibits women from teaching men. She had taught there for 54 years."

"The letter quoted the first epistle to Timothy: 'I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.'"

"The Rev. Timothy LaBouf, who also serves on the Watertown City Council, issued a statement saying his stance against women teaching men in Sunday school would not affect his decisions as a city leader in Watertown"

"'I believe that a woman can perform any job and fulfill any responsibility that she desires to' outside of the church, LaBouf wrote Saturday"

If you were in a position to save some one who is certainly going to die and you are the difference between that life and death.

Here is the twist, you know for a fact that person is a murderer.

Do you save them...yes or no..and why?

I am happily agnostic and dated a devout Catholic guy for a long time (he was the love of my life). At some point, he decided I was unsuitable/not good enough for marriage or even just casual stuff, but he didn't say anything to me. Instead, he just withdrew, got colder, and kept stringing me along as though we were still still a couple.

In fact, it wasn't until seven months after we broke up that he told me why things got so bad. I had never even known that our differing belief systems was a problem or more than a challenge to be enjoyed. I would have converted if he had pled his case while things were still good between us, but he never gave me the chance to make that decision.

My question is: do interfaith relationships always turn out so negative and hurtful? Is it just a Catholic thing? How common is going through something like this?

Historically once Muslims reach a certain % of the population they become a full fledged Jihadist insurgency until they have overthrown the government or cleaved off a part of the country.

For example, Pakistan was once India until Islamic insurgency, after which the peaceful Hindu people gave up a massive chunk of India. Despite this, Muslims murdered millions of Hindus in the second worst genocide of the 20th century. Hindus however contend that the second Islamic genocide on the hindus in the 20th century was even worse than the jewish holocaust.

After giving Muslims a massive chunk of India and letting them butcher millions of Hindus, this still didnt solve the problem, because, as we know, Muslims now want Kashmir. Its all about "critical mass". Where Muslims feel they have enough numbers in a non-islamic land, they immediately push for an Islamic state.

Today, we see only 10% Muslims triggered over a month of riots in France.

Whats the % for the USA?

I mean how badly would it rock our religious world if we could just allow the possibility to enter our psyche. To just ponder of "what if" Jesus did have a relationship? How badly would this thought really shake pillars of faith to their foundations?
