I am divorced, also a Catholic/Christian

My marrigae was a marrigae of abuse and I had 2 small children.
I left the marriage because he had an affair with a 13 year old girl (he was 32) and he divorced me. I have never remarried. I prayed to God to help me and he did.

My Church knows and I was still welcomed and received the sacraments

Some say I am a adulterer what do you think. Am I?

It's curious how perfectly God created us.In his creation he included desire for the oppposite sex (or same sex if you want to be politically correct).Before you argue that Eve was responsible for creating desire, our bodies physiologically respond with pleasure to sexual stimuli. Therefore, isn't it safe to say that God intended for us to enjoy sexual intercourse?
Over the past several decades, the average age of the onset of puberty (therefore increased desire) has decreased to as young as 10 years old, while the average age of marriage has increased to nearly 26 years old. That can mean resisting a completely natural sexual desire for 16 YEARS!! Whereas, our grandparents were getting married at practically the same time that puberty hit.
So, would it be safe to say that it is no longer realistic to expect adolescents to wait 16 years, or would it be safer to give them the education they will need to make responsible choices about their sexual health?

I found this quote from someone to be interesting:

"Several Flood legends from various cultures of antiquity around the world corroborate the story of Noah's Flood."

This person claims that the Great Flood is true becaue other cultures have stories that support Noah and his family escaping destruction.

First off, what stories are these? There may be stories about a flood (especially in Sumerian myth), but that's different from supporting Noah's story.

Secondly, how could other cultures support Noah's story when they are wiped out by the flood?

It sounds like someone was grasping at straws to convince people that Noah's Ark is a true story. Regardless, I'm interested in the viewpoints of others and--dare I ask--some source material to examine.

I would like to ask something of this community. I know this is not easy, but I constantly see questions titled "Why do Christians" or "Why do muslims" or "Isn't anybody fed up _____(religion here)" Before you jump to classify all Christians as ignorant Bible thumpers or all Muslims as extremists, please think about the stupidity of generalities. It makes no since to assume that since someone believes in God or Allah that they all have the exact same beliefs and opinions or that they all act the same way. Many "Christians" on this board have made a nuisance of themselves, but that does not mean that all Christians are conservatives, ignorant, hateful, or anything else.

Is it possible to "sin no more"? I really don't think so. If this is the qualifications to meet after salvation, we are all toast.

Was He perhaps talking about the sin they were caught in, like adultery in the case of Mary?

Any thoughts on this?

Many of my friends and I have horrible secrets that reside in the family, creating all types of stress and separation of family members. Most of these are molestation of young girls, by senoir household members, they deny their envolvement and sides are taken, ussually the senior women do not believe the victim and alienate them,,,, My question is should we bring these secrets out to be resolved, possibly ripping the family apart and being the "hated" family member for bringing up unresolved issues.... It seems growth and healing would occur after the shock of truth being exposed....

The Bubonic Plague, as it was also called, had a long history of killing people by the droves, but it was only until the fourteenth century that it first became a worldwide pandemic.

From 1350 to 1400, it killed about half of the European population and in the other regions of the world it eliminated similar percentages of the populace.

Each one of those regions was populated by people with different religions and each and every one of those persons prayed and begged to their respective God to free them from the terrible malady. However, the divine assistance never came, just as it had not arrived in all the previous epidemics and in all the previous famines and in all the previous wars. Neither the God from East Asia, from Central Asia, from the Middle East or from Europe moved a finger. By then, the Christian God, the Muslim God, the Hindu God, and the Buddhist God had already been revealed to the people of this planet, but they proved as useless as the Gods that had preceded them.

They're all Communists, sharing property, food, lodgings, etc. And when you try to tell them about the glorious freedoms we have with Capitalistic Democracy, they just stand there staring at you. When will they accept THE ONLY CORRECT societal structure?

Is it actually possible? Has anyone REALLY done it? ... If so, how? I have a huge desire to experience it, I keep trying and think I get to the "vibration" stage but then it just seems to fizzle away. Interested to hear from genuine people with actual experiences and advice on how to do it... guess I'm asking for someone to teach me how...

Yes I know they'll be some negative comments from some people, but please try and refrain from doing so, theres just no need for it!

My email address is on here... thanks to anyone with advice.

David.

If not, can you still respect the believers right to hold this belief?

The practice generally means removing the foreskin of the penis.

Those who practice this religious ritual are Jews and Muslims.
