    Worried about business trip

    He has given me reasons not to trust him. What do you suggest? He doesn't have to worry about the stay-at-home mom that he is leaving with children while he is alone. I've heard the complete opposite. I believe the statistic was the a third of men on business trips are cheating. That is...

    Worried about business trip

    Yes, the other managers are going. I have heard that the affair statistics on business trips are pretty bad. I don't understand why he cannot choose to go home as long as he is there for all meetings. Am I being unreasonable? If he tells his work that he would rather go home and drive back...

    Worried about business trip

    Before I married my husband, I told him I am insecure about cheating because, unfortunately, my dad did that to my mom and it was awful. That's all I heard growing up and it really ruined my mom's life (she stayed home with kids and didn't work, so after the divorce, she didn't have a way to...

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    It really is disturbing, isn't it? I hope you don't think I'm condemning the Catholic Church... what makes you think that? I have a lot of free time so I research religious topics that have to do with Christianity. I do not dislike the Catholic church. I just read about something, that led to...

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    Here is the church with the bone chandelier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedlec_Ossuary I read that bones and relics of saints were given to different churches so that many catholic churches could have these relics. I'll have to look at my history or find the source again. This link says...

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    I don't see how making them into chandeliers is being treated with great reverance. I know you are Catholic, so you are desensitized to seeing their bodies like the photos portray, but it's really shocking to others. The Bible shows this was a disgrace to dig up their bodies and scatter their...

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    It was very relevant to the topic. What part of it do you not understand? I'm not being rude... genuine question. According to the website, t's a disgrace to be treated in that manner and was seen as a punishment from God for worshiping other gods. Why would the catholic saints be treated in...

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    I kinda did... I said it was an expression of hatred and contempt. Why the animosity? I had to run my kids to school and didn't have time to type out a long response. Basically, it's a violation. Disrespectful. A disgrace. A judgement from God (God's just vengeance) for bowing to idols...

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    I did read it's known as the "highest expression of hatred and contempt." Here are a couple of sites that explain the verse more thoroughly: http://biblehub.com/commentaries/jeremiah/8-1.htm http://studylight.org/com/bcc/view.cgi?book=jer&chapter=008...

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    Okay, just got a verse from someone: Jeremiah 8:1-3 King James Version (KJV) 8 At that time, saith the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of...

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    Thanks for your response. I definitely have no problem with what you are describing. The photos just didn't seem like what you are describing. I'm trying to understand, but I don't quite. I understand what YOU are saying. Just not the rest of it... can you explain the skull with the golden...

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    So do you think the story of Elisha's bones justifies this practice? Good point on how Jesus and Peter were alive for these incidences.

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    I don't really know what you mean?

    What is the purpose of this practice?

    I've been researching the Catholic Church out of curiosity and I have had many questions. There is one that I just can't seem to get an answer to. Why do people kiss bones of dead saints? I saw a skull on a platter (or pillow) and I googled it to find out about it, which led me to another site...

    Sexualety, Sensualety, Christianety (Where does the limit go?)

    It is very admirable for a man to seek God and not do these things for that reason.

    Near-death experiences

    Thank you so much for that. I feel like everything is very clear when I read biblical verses that apply and then, self-doubt creeps in and I start wondering what if I am wrong? So it makes it hard to make a decision on such things. I totally get what you are saying about the devil trying to...

    Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?

    Yeah, I don't know and I can't ask this woman. It's probably better if I just leave topics like this alone. I don't know enough about it. Right. That is why I am hesitant to say something like this is demonic. I don't know enough. This kind of thing is way over my head. I am going to stop...

    Near-death experiences

    King James Bible For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:5 King James Bible And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:11 King James Bible Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God...

    Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?

    The Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out demons by the power of Satan. Is that similar to what I am asking? Like, what if the woman in the book I read really saw God, but I was trying to be discerning and wondered if she (and others who have had near-death experiences) were really being...
