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.
Holy Spirit didn't reveal anything to you,because He is not xtian, every man for himself on judgement day,parents aint gonna answer for you by the way Catholism is the Mother of all harlots(christianity)....christianity n islam comes from Catholism, just do your research or ask me for the links

I don't want to talk too much about this case. Different christain denominations will talk about the truth; what fucking truth are you talking about?
A particular church will slander another church with one lie or the other just because they want you to remain their member.
Why should it be that way, church can not take you to heaven, neither will pastor nor rev.father take u to heaven.
If you think you've found the truth as you people call it, practice it within yourself and stop causing problems in the family with your truth.
But come to think of it, how do you expect your parent to be flexible in their understanding while you as a young person is so rigid with your so called newly found truth?
If you want the relationship to be back their again, go back to family church

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.

. OP, God is with you as long as you are a true Christian. There is nothing wrong with you. But there is something wrong with your parents. They are dogmatic Roman Catholic church goers who like to impress their peers and church more than God. They want a Roman Catholic wedding for you and have actually looked forward to that to impress their peers and society, but you have upset them by leaving the Roman Catholic church. And the only solution is God. Pray for them and then go and see their parish priest to help you talk to them to be reasonable . If they are in Lagos, report to the Bishop in Lagos. I was a Roman Catholic fanatic before I joined Pentecostal ministry and I am still keeping my friendship with brethren in Roman Catholic church and whenever I attend their weddings, I share in the Holy Communion.

Woman, it is obvious u don't need any piece of advice. U are an ardent follower of a religious group. U vowed never to marry a catholic Man and that invariably shows u have developed hatred for ur parents simply because they are Catholics and refuse to follow u. If u could take religion to love and emotion, then u can go any length. Whatever u are doing, remember the first commandment if u people have nt changed it. It says obey ur father and ur mother. It is a commandment and God did nt give us any condition b4 we will obey our parents. Don't live a life that may turn against u in d future.

OP in my own opinion, I think u have made a good choice in putting your eternity above your parents...the life we are living is a one man race and not a family race...honestly, I don't think bringing forth this type of question here is the right thing because everyone will definitely bring up his or her own idea, but this is my own solution... The bible says in Matthew 10 vs 35... For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.....this quotation means that definitely for one to follow Christ he should not let his parents or anything hinder him or her...it doesn't mean that u should be at war with them but it means that u shouldnt let them hinder u...we know ephesians 6:1 but we misinterprete it...it says Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.... I want you to take note of 'in the lord'...clearly, if what ur parents are telling u is out of the lord, then obeying them endangers your salvation...some people here quoted the commandment which says honor your father and your mother....in the Hebrew translation that word honor in the commandment means 'kabed' which means centering on honoring God Himself. So if you are honoring your parents and it doesn't honor God then you have disobeyed God. Catholicism clearly exalts Mary as an intercessor for man to Jesus to God, always asking her to pray for us but the bible states that Christ is mediator between God and man, the bible did not state any method to reach Jesus via any other person except praying to him. There are also other instances like when the catholics bow to images of peter and other images of which the bible says clearly do not bow to any graven image...so my dear follow your heart according to God's leading...don't let your parents take you to hell...still respect them, care for them and love them even if they chase you away and also pray for them...trust me with God on your side one day too they will be on your side...look for a church that preaches the totality of the scripture and not just one sided scripture...it must not be a popular church...in all just ask God for direction and wisdom.

I dont think you should receive communion if you arent a practising catholic. especially if you also havent gone for confession in over a year.

There's nothing you can do.
Jesus said, to follow him one must leave his/her family and carry his/her cross.
Just reach out to them by force by calling and visiting.
Leave d rest to God.

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.

congrats dear for the salvation of your soul, because that is the best thing that can happen to any human, regarding your family, all you have to do, is to continue praying for the salvation of their souls,one day they will change, always call them, always invite them to church when ever there is special program mes, above all let your life style preach to them that truly you are a change person, and you will see them following you to your own church, congrats dear, let nothing stop you from serving GOD, NOT YOUR FAMILY, OR UNBELIEVERS GUYS.,

Jesus said, i have come to bring division, Father against mother, parents against their children. What does that mean ?

Being with Christ is more important to God than being with your family. Instead of denying Christ, deny your family.

For you to get this persecution kind of reaction from your parents, then you're on the right track with God. Devil only fights what is right before God. Pray for your parents. Do not forsake the gathering of the brethren especially weekly services and Sunday school. Study at least a chapter of the Bible daily and pray without ceasing. God will strengthen you as u seek him and strive to live holy.
