Im pretty sure there are tens, if not hundreds of non-sanctioned books on Jesus.

 

It never made any sense that Priests could not marry, Rabbi's can marry and most believe that they are supposed to get married (Genesis 1:28 Be fruitful and multiply, the first mitzvah in the Torah.)

 

The likely historical reason is that the Jewish priest class became powerful and helped to promote the insurrections against Rome. When Rome was tailoring Christianity to be their religion of rule, they did not want the Pope/priests to have heirs that would ultimately compete against them for power, so they made it illegal for religious reasons.

 

I cant get any good source material online, but Im pretty sure in the beginning of Christianity priests did marry. It wasnt until between 300-400 CE that marriage was outlawed.

Going off memory from my college theology classes, around 300 is when the Catholic church prohibited priests from marrying.

And Constantine's "In hoc signo vinces" was October 28, 312, so it very likely coincides with the Romanization of Christianity.

Went to the DMV today to renew my license and the first lady said I had to take a written test. After I was done with her she said to head to the cashier and she would give me the test. The cashier had me pay and told me to go to the camera area. Got my picture taken and the license printed. No one gave me the test. Think this will come back to bite me?

Why would you need a written test? Usually that's for people who haven't had a valid license for a while.

I don't know. My co-worker who turned 26 last year told me that he had to take one when he went in.

I didn't have to take a test when I renewed at 26 and don't recall hearing of anyone who did.

Hopefully the first lady was wrong then.

I had to take a written test at 26 but that was California.

I had to take the written test last year when I renewed my license.

Everyone must take a written exam every eight years except those having no traffic convictions. If you have an accident recorded on your driving record, you may be required to take the written and/or road exams.

Have never been in an accident. We will see if anything comes of it.

If your worried the. Call them and make sure everything looks good

I had to take it a few years ago when I renewed my license as well. Wasn't expecting it. Was worried for a second about passing it until I started going through it to realize it's the easiest test ever.

It really is. I didn't even glance at the Rules of the Road book and I got 100% on it. Most of the time the answer is obvious. I remember one that was something like:

 

When you approach an intersection with pedestrians in the crosswalk you should:

 

A) slow down until they are safely across

B) speed up

C) flash your lights and honk your horn.

The option that got me was something about verbally signaling them to cross (which you're actually not supposed to do for some reason).

I was thinking there would be all sort of random signs on there that you see once a year, or ridiculous rules that you never run into, but yeah, super easy.

Yeah, I had to take it three years ago. 20/20.

Alright so this questions coming completely from left field but I'm looking for a little help.

 

Is there anyone here that lives in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, namely near the Medinah Country Club that can help a fellow soxtalker out?

 

For anyone who has read the job hunt forum you will know that I may be working security for the Ryder Cup...welllll the problem with that is I live 49 miles away and with the long hours I'm sure to have there its just not possible for me to go back and forth everyday. Sooooo I was wondering if any kind person in that area would take me into their home for those 5 days, I'll even sleep in my car if I have to, I just need to use your bathroom to freshen up.

 

When looking at the even schedule for the Cup it looks like I'd be working 12+ hour days so I wont be around that much those 5 days.

 

I can offer you $100 for the week but thats about it, Id be very grateful if you allowed me to do this for free!!

 

Please shoot me a PM if you can help me out!

 

What a cool pic!
