Thank you much appreciation

i lost my virginity. call me the 4 minute man lasted 4 minutes. im in walmart this morning getting a free std test :))
I pray that you may grow to understand that sex is for marriage and that you will grow in your love of God and of others and of yourself so that you will see what a terrible thing you have done but will be filled with gratitude for God's love for you which can reestablish you with a virginity which is true.
Apart from this I suggest that when you marry you do not time sex and that it will be a complete giving of yourself to another and that it will last longer and I do pray that you do not have any STDs.

I have a friend who is a Catholic. She says the Pope never sinned that's not true the Bible says all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God except Jesus He never sinned
You are quite right that all the Popes have sinned.
There might be a confusion between you and your friend.
Catholics believe that the Pope or Holy Father has a gift given him by the Holy Spirit and that is Papal Infallibility. I must immediately point out that this does not mean that the Pope does not sin. Papal Infallibility does not prevent the Holy Father from sinning. Papal Infallibility prevents the Holy Father from teaching error on faith or morals when he speaks as the Vicar of Christ for the whole Church.
This power is very specific and is used very seldom by Holy Father. There are only two clear uses of it that I know of for the past two centuries. The one is the definition of the Immaculate Conception in 1854 and the other is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven in 1950.
We believe this power to define clearly something which Jesus had already taught to his disciples was give to Peter by Jesus. In Matthew 16:16-18 Jesus told Peter that he would build his Church on Peter and he gave him the keys to the kingdom of heaven with the power to bind and loose on earth. As this role of Peter was meant to exist till the end of the world this power has been passed on to Peter's successors. Peter was the bishop of Rome and so the succeeding bishops of Rome take on this power.
This is truly an amazing gift from God. What it means is that when people start to question the faith, i.e. what we must believe, the questions raised can be answered with certainty. It is the same as if Jesus were still on earth and we can approach him through the man he has appointed to continue his work. If God has done this then it is a truly amazing gift that he has given us. We can see how important it is practically to protect God's people from false teaching in how Protestant groups have splintered. These groups which have their origin from Luther's break from the Church have continued to split into more and more groups as they disagree with each other on doctrine and have no authority to appeal to but their own interpretation of the Scripture.
I can think that this proposal of Papal Infallibility might seem horrifying to you, as it did to me when I was a Protestant. I ask you to continually seek the truth and never to turn away from the wonders of God's grace. Remember how in John 6:22-71 many left Jesus because he taught them that they had to eat his body and drink his blood? When question on this he insisted that this is what they had to do. The people said, "This saying is hard; who can accept it?" (vs. 60) Seeing this Jesus did not stop them on the contrary he turned to his disciples and asked them "Do you also want to leave?" (vs. 67) Peter replied, as we must, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." (vs. 68)
Many, many prayers and blessings! :-) :-) :-)

Do you think it is fair for the USA to use the electoral college? which one do you prefer to be used: popular vote or electoral college? why?
I do think a popular vote is more fair. It means every person's vote counts equally and it prevents politicians from making changes to the electoral college to give them more power.

Is a college education important?
I think every opportunity for education is important. One must question one's teachers though. Sadly it seems that college teachers often do not believe in the existence of an objective truth. I think this error affects all that they teach even if they are excellent in their field.

Christians, i.e. Catholics, are called to a far higher standard. They are not to make sexual advances to anyone, nor even to think lustfully about anyone. They are also not to harm anyone at all though they may defend themselves when attacked.

Erotic love is kind of slang for sex, of the weirdest variety. But you were talking about Eros, which has a different definition today. Something like romantic love. That’s why you’ve been getting weird reactions, I think. You’re talking of two different things.
Okay, thanks for the help with how people understand different words. :-)
You are right of course in saying that I was speaking of eros. I did not want to use that term as I thought it might be a bit technical and I really don't know its strict use with much certainty. But I think now it is better that I use the terms eros and filia even while not understanding them that well at all.
About the term erotic love I think that it is a pity that erotic love should be seen as kinky as I do not think that it should be so at all. But it is good to know that people will think of it that way.
Romantic love is perhaps a good way to describe eros but thinking of it now it does not necessarily include the love which is found between spouses. Not so? Or am I going wrong here as I might be going wrong later on too? :-)
Let's assume that romantic love can be the love between people who are not having sex.
These musings of mine show a real problem I have in understanding the different forms of love i.e. the love of friendship (filia) which excludes sex and the love of marriage (eros) which includes it. There must be a point at which the love of friendship starts to change into a love which becomes that of marriage? Or do these loves "pile up" on one another? The filia between spouses continues while the eros is added to it? This seems more likely.
But even if this is the case, when a man and woman start to think of a friendship having the possibility of becoming a marriage, at some point, even while not married, is eros present? This even though the pair are not engaging in sex nor permitting sexual thoughts of one another? If this is the case then there ia a form of eros which excludes sexual relations or sexual. If so this would fit with how I have thought of romantic love which can either have a sexual component or not.
It would mean that your suggestion, Alyssia, of using romantic love for eros would be a very good one.
I really should try to read a bit to clear up some of my confusion. I hope these musings are of some value! Prayers and blessings!
