my dear, big time lie, am a born catholic, but married RCCG, anywhere i go i can adapt to a good church, where i sing praises to God, but saying that ur church is bad, is a wrong word. my mum is not born catholic but she got married to a catholic. u go to church with ur hrt and not to condemn doctrines. u can make ur life good by serving God with all ur hrt. i have been to a catholic church when i was serving that the word shook everyone, it s not everywhere. Kn who u r serving and not church. God is everywhere.

Those of us that left catholic can attest to the facts here. It is not easy to convince a die-hard catholic. The poster is having a hard time now.

@ the poster, it is time to go spiritual to let your parents see what made you quit catholic. We only preach but God converts.

Dear actions speaks louder than voice, let your parents see your fruits and notice the change in your life, nothing will convert them like a life testimony from you or a situation whereby a family member is sick and you pray for them and they get healed, evidence silents arguement. Let the love life show forth from you to them and trust me God's love is highly contagious if you truely walk in love and pray for them, it wont be long before they have a change of heart. And as for you hope you have a genuine intimacy with God because just attending a church won't grant you eternity neither does it mean you're pleasing God.

From the comments it seems Catholics aren't even considered as Christians cheesy. Many are just saying "Pray for them", "The holy spirit would touch their heart", "Congrats for your salvation" etc. Religion is a huge joke.

I was born into a catholic family. My parents especially my mom is a die-hard catholic. I did all the catholic sacraments, baptism, confirmation, holy eucharist, except matrimony which would come by God's grace. I was known in my parish for being a devout member of some societies.

Fast forward to this day, I'm no more a catholic, I attend bible believing churches like faith baptist/rccg. This is because upon completion of my university education, I was inspired by the Holy spirit to know the truth, I couldn't prove so many catholic beliefs in the bible, and I care a lot about my eternity. It caused a lot of dispute between I and my parents and even up till today, they've stopped calling me or asking about my welfare. All efforts to convince them beyond reasonable doubt have proved abortive. Pls I need your advice nlanders coz I need to reconcile with my family.

It is not strange or new to be persecuted for following your faith so don't be too worried about your situation.
With time your parents will come looking for you.

Just make money and provide for their needs and i assure you they will reconcile with you.

Just keep praying for them and let your character and way of life shows that indeed you are Christ follower. With time, your prayers and life style can help in converting them or letting them accept you for who you are.

What eternity?

If the holy spirit could open your eyes to see the implausibilities in Catholicism, I hope one day, it'll also open your eyes to see the absurdities in religion as a whole.

For now you're jumping from fire to frying pan. I wish you could follow your parents belief until you're ready to start your own family.

Even the bible says you should obey your parents to have the eternal life you are pursuing.

What would have happened if you became a Muslim? Didn't know such prejudice is practiced by some christians...I don't know if you have been throwing you new found faith/believe in their face? You need to be cautious in dealing with them! Above all respect and don't argue with them. They will come to accept your decision with time.

Hold on to what you believe
Hold on to your faith

Don't let your parents change you from what you have and believe
When at the last day..... They won't be the one to answer for you.
All man to himself..

Since your faith brings constant conflict with them.
Don't talk to them about it
Relate with them as your parents but don't bring your faith, doctrine to it.
But, don't let them force their own on you.

The race is an individual race and not a collective one.
Just pray for them and let the holy spirit do the conviction and minister to them.
Remember it's only God and holy spirit that can change a man through its ministration And not you

I believe you are over 18 and an adult and as such should be able to make decisions for yourself which I think your parents should respect.
You should not throw your new found faith in your parents face and you should not try to convert them to whatever it is you believe, respect their own beliefs as well.
I also believe a parent's love for their child should be unconditional not when it is convenient for them, they should love you irrespective of your beliefs.
You need your parents and they need you, find a common ground on which you guys can talk and relate without involving your "religion".

The day you start questioning what is already written,then check yourself.
The bible says you should honour them as long as you are under their care, same way a woman is to submit to her husband(even if he prohibits her from going to church whenever he is around).
Debut. 5:6
Ephesians 6:2
Honour your parent;the first commandment with a promise,meaning respect them in words and actions.
I am a committed Pentecostal,if I decide to get married to a catholic and my parent refuses,I will try convincing them but if that fails, walahi I will let go of that relationship.
Catholic or not,the most important thing is having this very personal fatherly relationship with God. every other thing is secondary.
My Opinion though.


Are you saying that if your husband (when you get married) prohibits you from attending Church service when he is around, you will obey him?

I believe there are two ways to go about this- from your info.you said you have a relationship with God the father through Christ,by this,HE has become your father eternal. Therefore,lay this issue to Him,HEwill handle it.2. Don't make religion out of it-i mean behave in a Christlike manner that there can't be room to gainsay against your new found truth,it will surely draw them. I know what it means to be so seperated but please be very careful that this doesn't be a drawback. Wish u His peace that pass all undestanding

Are you sure it was the holy spirit who told you to leave the holy Catholic Church? how do you know it was not the devil and by so doing he has started to put strife in your family. As for the beliefs in the Bible, all the teachings of the Catholic Church has biblical backups. you were misinformed. Go back to the Catholic Church and your present troubles will be over

Wonder what would make me quit being a Catholic when the Blessed Eucharist is there. Op, what says the fourth commandment from God, our Yahweh? I know the Catholic church has history some of which is negative. There are still Bible Studying sodalities that will satisfy your need to know God and Christ more deeply. There is a big difference between being religious and spiritual. Op, that which you seek is in the Catholic Church. Pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance and God's grace.
