    I have an issue with this article. Just because you go to church every Sunday, that doesn't make you a good Christian, it just makes you look like a good Christian.

    Nobody ever said attending Church regularly makes one a good Christian. Just like attending school regularly doesn't make one a good student. It does mean that we try.
  • Question
    Why is it important to be baptized as a Christian?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Baptism shows everyone that you have now made a commitment, that you are now a new person. It is symbolic: in water, when you go underneath, it is like you have died. When you emerge, you have been brought back to life! In other words, the old you has died, and the new Christian has replaced that old version of you!

    To marry a Catholic man, understand that the Catholic Church considers matrimony a Sacrament. For the marriage to be recognized within the Church, you may need to seek a dispensation and discuss raising children in the Catholic faith. You and your partner should consult with his parish priest to navigate these requirements.

    Community Answer
    Invite him to your Church and have him tell your priest or minister of his intention to convert. Teach him all about the Christian faith, and if it is for him, help him get baptized. He must be sincere in his desire to be a Christian, however, not just converting so that he can date you.
  • Question
    How can I tell my Muslim friends about Jesus Christ?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    First of all, remember that Muslims already do believe in Jesus, but not in the same way in which Christians do. Muslims do not believe that Christ Is the Son of God. They believe that He was only a prophet. Although they believe in his virgin birth, they do not believe in his passion, death, and resurrection. Explain to your Muslim friends that Christ died because He loved us, and perhaps talk about some of the biblical stories featuring Christ.

    At age 14 you are still under the authority of your parents. Would they be okay with this? If so, you may contact your local Christian Church and find out how to go about joining the Christian faith. If your parents are not okay with you converting, you may have to wait until you are a little older before doing so.

    Community Answer
    Do you live in a country with little freedom of religion? Perhaps you should emigrate to another nation first, before converting to Christianity. Until then, you can privately believe whatever you like - no one can monitor what's going on in you head - but it may be best to keep it to yourself until you can get somewhere safer.

    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Even while in Mary's womb, Jesus is understood as fully God, the second person of the Holy Trinity. Christians believe God consists of three distinct yet co-equal persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—who are one God. His incarnation did not diminish His divine nature.

    Do not fear the pastor. God has appointed him to his role to help lead people to Christ and teach them how to grow in their faith. A good pastor will show the love of Jesus to you. So, return to this church and muster the courage to speak with him. Also, Ask God to show His love to you. Feel free to talk to God and ask for His help in this situation. He loves you and wants to help you!

    My Christian friend forces me to go to church with her every week and I'm a Muslim. No matter how many times I say no, she won't listen and just forces me to go.
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    No one should be able to force you to go to church against your will. Tell her directly, "I do not want to go to church with you anymore, and I'm not going to do it." Don't back down. Tell her that you respect her beliefs and she needs to respect yours. If she continues to try to force you, stop being friends with her.
