My friend paid in advance for a meal for eight persons and I asked her how much we should share. She replied, "It's on the house."

Its on the house means that the establishment will pay for it and the service is free.
In your friend's case, the meal wasn't "on the house" but was "taken care of". On the house means it is a gift from the business.

On The House Meaning

On the house impies that the establishment of where you are eating will incur the costs of your food or drink. Haven't you ever seen on the movies where the bartender will say, it's on the house? That means it's a free drink.

This term means that you get it for free - someone else is paying usually the person providing the service ie: if you were in a restaurant/hotel/cafe and the manager/owner says "its on the house" then you wouldn't have to pay for your meal - the restaurant is picking up thebill

She's telling you it's already been taken care of so just enjoy the meal and dont worry about the cost. Generally on the house means free of charge.

"On the house" means that a business (usually a restaurant) is giving you something free, i.e., the responsibility for paying the bill isn't on YOU, it's on THEM (the "house" meaning the business).

What a wonderful question. Religion is, of course, the form that one's worship takes. Thus there are thousands of forms. Religion includes a system of religious beliefs and practices. The object of the religion may be false gods or the true God. Hence, there is false religion and there is true. Religion can get very fancy or remain simple. In the former case, such as it is today. In the latter case, such as it was in the Garden of Eden. What then is worship to me? How do I worship? To worship means to obey. And to obey means to worship. The two are intimately connected; indeed, they are coterminous and cannot be separated. Specifically, to obey the Sovereign Lord God Jehovah of Armies is to worship Him. I do my imperfect best in this regard. I fall on my face and get back up to try and try again. In the Garden of Eden, so long as they obeyed Jehovah, Adam and Eve were worshiping him. No temple, no Mosaic Law, no meetings. Simply leave the tree of the knowledge of good and bad alone. Simple. The minute they disobeyed, they stopped worshiping Jehovah. Same with the nation of Israel. The minute they attempted to practice a syncretistic religion they stopped worshiping Jehovah. The minute they made the golden calf, they stopped. And on and on. To worship is to obey. To obey is to worship. Hannah J Paul

it's free. It usually means it's complimentary...the resturant includes it or its free because they goofed up.. but when a friend or relative says it, it's free and on them.
Good Luck
