It's like when you write things with your pencil, and you cross the word/sentence you don't want. Not erasing it, but just cross the word/sentence such that it will still leave a mark and it will be readable. I know some bloggers do that, so it's possible.
I think you might be referring to a strikeout. Can you use HTML on your blog? If you can, you can find the code here;

Otherwise, if your blog uses a word editor style formatting menu, there may be a button to do this.

I'm working on my final project and I know they both share the Bible as a text, but where does it branch off? Meaning is there a difference between the Hebrew Bible and the Bible that everyone else reads?
Actually, most Mormons I know of read the King James Version of the Bible. The only doctrinal differences between them and Christians is that the Mormons venerate heretical works like 'The Pearl of Great Price', 'Book of Mormon', and 'Doctrines & Covenants,' where Christians rely solely on the Bible to know God's Word.

What services do they have on at the C.E churches? How does the usual Protestant family celebrate Shrove Tuesday?
Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Tuesday, is more a custom than a religious observance. Many Protestants receive the ashes on ash Wednesday, and that is fine because it is not a sacrament.

I know that Catholicism is similar to Orthodoxy. A Catholic told me that one must love one another in addition to faith in Christ. But from a Orthodox perspective, what does faith in Christ mean if you don't believe that we are saved completely by the sacrfice of Christ? I want to understand this. Thank you.
Salvation is a process called "theosis" it is becoming by grace what God/Christ is by nature. It is a path that you walk your entire life. If you want to learn more about Orthodox thought find a local priest and attend an inquirers class. The entire outlook from an Eastern eye is different, even the concept of hell is different.
Orthodoxy is wonderful and life changing. Try looking around on OCIC; http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/
Here is an online copy of a book about theosis;

It seems that Muslims are always blamed for being the most violent of the religious sects but isn't it true that the Catholic church ordered inquisitions throughout Europe, Russia, etc. The Cathloic church also aided in some of the destructions to the Aztecs and Incas in Mexico, Central America and south America. Which religious group has killed more over the last 1000 years? How many total killed were there during the spanish inquisitions?
all religons have killed but Muslims are way out on top

By Christian Bible, I don't mean when was the first English Bilbe developed, but the very first Christian Bible as we know today. If possible, please provide citations.
The New Testament as we know it was created at the Conference of Nicea (hence the Nicene Code). When Constantine the Great declared Christianity to be the official religion of Rome, there was no standardized Bible, but many books which were used by different churches. Constantine ordered the bishops of the church to gather at Nicea to determine not only what books were to be included in the New Testament, but even the nature of Jesus himself. Before that, there were varying beliefs about his divinity. Some believed that he was God incarnate, some that he was the Son of God, and some that he was merely a great Rabbi, or teacher. Needless to say, there was a great deal of debate, not only in the meeting, but even spilling out into the streets. The books that were excluded are now referred to as the Apocrypha, which is referred to by Catholics more than Protestants. Other books have since surfaced, also, and some are what are referred to as the Gnostic texts. These include more personal views of Jesus, and some may be older than the books included in the Bible, most of which were written long after the apostles they were attributed to. In the Gnostic texts, more emphasis is placed on self-awareness as the path to heaven than belief in the teachings of the church–they believed that people were intended to look inside themselves to find the God within themselves.

While growing up and going to church. It seems like they tended to only teach/preach a small number of the stories in the Bible, while leaving out the vast majority of them. Anyone know of any studies that look at what is taught and what is naught?
100%…at least 100% of the stuff that can be taught (we skip all the "so and so begot so and so" stuff.
If you attend Catholic Mass every Sunday for 3 years, you will hear the entire Bible. If you attend daily Mass, you'll hear it in 1 year. Many Protestant churches are beginning to follow the same schedule because it is effective.

He wants our wedding in a Catholic church even if he's a protestant, but he don't want to convert to a catholic. Can we still get married in the church?
What are the documents needed if possible?
Thank you.
I'm in the process as we speak. I come from a protestant background and my fiance is a devoted Catholic. We are getting married in the Catholic church. Only one person needs to be Catholic and practicing. He does not need to convert. They do not want someone to convert because of another person, but instead for themselves and willingly. You just need to be baptized and confirmed. There are also pre-marital classes that you two are to take together for the sacrament of marriage and a questionaire as well. The classes help a lot! It will discuss how you will want to raise your children, finance, creed, etc. Congratulations! You'll be getting married!
