I saw in today's reading from St. Paul the verse that "Love is not jealous", but in the Old Testament there are times when God says that He is a jealous God.

In regard to God being "jealous" I've heard that explained as God demanding exclusive allegiance, as one spouse has for another. While in the Corinthians verse it seems like jealous is being used more in the sense that we are familiar with in everyday use.

I'm guessing the Hebrew word in the Old Testament and the Greek word in 1 Corinthians must have different connotations, even if both are translated using the same word in English?

When I was younger my dad's boss had something against him and he had one of the other workers trespass into our yard and I don't know, spy on my dad or on our house. My dad ended up contacting the police and one of the officers wrote a letter to the company informing him that if this happened again it would be grounds for an arrest. Eventually my dad and the other worker ended up reconciling and the boss moved to a different company.

So if a boss orders one employee to trespass onto another worker's home, who is it that should be arrested/sued? If the worker suffers (for instance gets arrested) can he also (in addition to the victim) have recourse against the boss?

I was reading How the Irish Saved Civilization by Thomas Cahill and he had a section where he mentions how St. Augustine deliberately referred to Carthage as "boiling like a cauldron" (in part because Augustine himself was also "boiling" with temptation) because cauldron (sartago) rhymes with Carthage (Cartago). Cahill says this is the first deliberate rhyme in Latin he knows of (he says that the Vulgate's "bonum certamen certavi, cursum consummavi, fidem servavi" was not a deliberate rhyme just an "unavoidable" translation of the Greek). He says that in Latin this was considered "indecens" which he translates as "rustic" or backwards (not indecent), but that Augustine liked to deliberately

So seeing the post yesterday where the guy was asking if driving a Subaru instead of his old truck would make him less attractive to women, got me thinking. For those of you who decided not to go the whole dating-marriage-parenthood route, what was it that turned you off to that way of life?

I'd say my first intimation that I wasn't called to marriage was in my senior year of college. I was in the bathroom downstairs trying to force a dump before my grandfather came to take me to work or school (I don't remember which, I worked at the college then). My parents were at work and my sister was at school so I had the house to myself and I remember thinking that it was nice to have the house to

So I applied for Social Security a few weeks ago, with September as my start date. I've gotten an email from SSA ([email protected]) saying to call a given person at a certain number to "review earnings record". But after multiple attempts to call, nobody picks up the phone.

Can you guys give me any kind of explanation of what to do from here? What's going on? Is this going to delay the check going out come September?

After doing my x-rays the hygienist said that I had "curved" roots (or maybe she said "curly", I think curved makes more sense). Is this anything of clinical significance?

I remember reading online that for a marriage to take place it requires the permission of the pastor of the parish in whose territory the wedding happens. Now, I think my parish is actually designated as specifically a parish for people of Italian ethnicity (this is in the US). Would parishes like this still have territory?

And another thing, my city has about five different parishes, would my house generally be located in the territory of the church that is physically closest to me, or is it possible to have an area under the territory of one parish even though it's closer to another?

Last night I saw someone in this sub mention a strange exercise he does where he walks like a penguin and it reminded me of something from a few years ago. One of the people at my dojo was saying that she thinks martial artists walk differently than normal people. The instructor disagreed, he said he walks like his dad and his dad has never done martial arts. I remember thinking that, I did kind of walk differently, a lot of times back then I wouldn't so much step, but rather slide and glide but it was kind of deliberate, and I think more influenced by a tv show than my actual training (in my mind I thought it was more stealthy I guess), plus probably also due to my gi pants being longer th

On on the "Design a Movie Review Page" assignment towards the end of the HTML curriculum and part of the lab wants us to put a rating in stars (out of ten) inside a span with actual stars and then a numerical rating right after the span. But so far as I remember, FCC never taught us how to make stars. I tried typing asterisks, that didn't work.

So when you go to buy a game it will have the price on the top (a lot of time's it's free but there's like an optional $2) and then below a couple buttons to add another 2 or 3 dollars or whatever. Or you could just type it in. It took me a while to figure out, at first I thought the top number was for the developer and the bottom button was to give money to Itchio

So when I log into my dad's account, he was born in 1959 so FRA is 66 and 10 months. So when I adjust the different dates to see what the monthly benefit is, if I choose age 67 it gives the same monthly benefit as it does for his FRA age. Now on a different section of the SSA website, which doesn't require a log-in, any additional month I wait after FRA gives about half a percent boost. So for instance at 66 and 10 months my dad would get 100% of his benefits, but if he waited two more months he'd get 101.33% (this is the early or late retirement page: Early or Late Retirement). Which calculation is correct? I'm inclined to believe it's t
