I live with my widowed mum (I'm 36). I've always lived with her and I work full time. We get on extremely well together. I am not married, as 'it's just not happened yet'. I'd loved to be married one day, but can wait. Mum and I enjoy each other's company very well and go out a lot together. She is my best friend too. We do have our own very few friends of course, but we have no family whatsoever (all dead). The problem is, I have had comments made by christians at church like, "You can go places without your mum you know" and from a pastor, "You really need to try and detach from your mum, as it looks like you do everything together but have the sex!" I feel I am being judged and also being a christian, I feel it is my duty to (1 Tim 5 v4) look after her, in which I have no complaints about. What do you think? I love my life with my mum.

I believe in Wicca, but have natural psychic power, so I have never had need of a spell. Do any of you know of a safe, easy protection spell I can cast to keep a particular person away from me? I don't want to hurt him of course, just keep him away.
Thank you in advance.
Blessed Be

You teach that only a 144,000 of God's chosen ones will go to heaven..You teach that it is not 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel..Right?
I was reading, and wondering about Matthew 19: 27-28..Its says..
(27) Peter answered him , "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?" (28)Jesus said to them," I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Doesn't these scripturers point to the direction that the 144,000 in Rev. will be 12,000 from the 12 tribes.?

I help with the youth group at my church (I'm 20) and I'm planning a lock-in for the girls of the group. I want to show them a couple of movies and then do a short bible study on them. Does anyone know a good place to get bible studies for movies? The movies are "The Painted Veil", "Jacob Have I loved", "One Night With the King" and "The Nativity Story."
Of course, I know that the last two I can make my own study because they're the Bible, but I was looking anyway.
Thanks!

Is it against the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church to claim both Roman Catholic and Jewish as your religion? Also, what would the Rabbi say? (My mother's mother was Ashkanazi Jewish.)

I'm not talking about proof. Proof is required for something you know. Evidence/reason is required for a reasonable belief.

Refer back to the question, I WILL respond to all who disagree.

Thank you all for your answers!

Every time I attend Mass at OLC, the Franciscan leads a Prayer for Vocations.

Are the type of guys that usually become priests instead "teaching English" in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia?

Would the Romans do better if they eliminated girls as acolytes, thus having the Priesthood become attractive again to their traditional base?

"There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope. The death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender." The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born… in pain."

I am NO ONE to judge trust me.............i was wondering if maybe homosexuality was Satans or Gods way of tempting us to see if we will make the "right" choice and live heterosexually.

I just dont understand why God would have a problem with homosexuality if love is involved.

Is God going to turn homosexuals away from heaven if they love Jesus.?


please dont give me there is no God answers and blah blah blah.........that gets old after a while and its your problem.

Question: Why are Natives so bitter?

Question Details: Shouldn't we just learn to forgive the white people? After all it's not like any of you alive had anything to do with the slaughter of my ancestors, right? I am so sick of hearing this. People ask me all the time why I'm bitter. Well look at the way we're still treated to this day, and why, and you'll understand why I'm so bitter. And when people think it's funny to mock my culture by playing Cowboys and Indians, it just pisses me off even more.

(My) - Deleted Answer: Europeans decimated native people across the globe during a relative short period of time. They have never made any real restitution. The biggest criminals, were the Catholic Church, closely followed by the rest of the Christians.

Every once in awhile I like to go down to Las Vegas or Cancun and really have a good time. I don't want to come back feeling guilty for having fun. So, I have been granting myself what I call a "God Holiday" on these trips. When I do that I don't worry about what God would think because I'm on vacation. I just have fun and I don't feel guilty about it at all. I don't pray for forgiveness or anything.

Of course, when I get back I get right back to my usual clean and sin free life and go to church every Sunday. I just don't bring up with God those things I did on vacation. It seems to work out pretty good. And since I'm born again, I know that I'm already forgiven for all sins past, present and future. It's like an insurance policy.

So, if you have problems having real guilt free fun on vacation, try what I do. Have yourself a "God Vacation" and let what happens on vacation, stay on vacation!

When ever I see a person with a sign that says "will work for food" or something like that, I stop and give them a can or two of Budweiser that I keep stashed in the trunk of my car. They always thank me and I say "no, don't thank me, thank God".

Proverbs 31:6-7 (NIV) Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more

Compared to a "normal" religious person ?
Is that someone who believe in creationism ? Someone who put absolute faith in his priest or imam ?
Someone who divides the world between THEM sinner and US ? Someone who believes literrally what is in the bible ?
Someone who doesnt reconciliate reality as seen by science, and the message of love/tolerance in the religious texts ?

For the believers here, how do you characterize a fanatic ?
