I was raised catholic and have been to several diff types of churches yet I have little faith...help?

Answer 1

You must return to the Catholic Church and once there pray for faith. Even if you don't feel that you believe, continue to pray and the Holy Spirit will eventually enlighten you and give you faith again.

Answer 2

Faith has nothing to do with church, it has to do with what you believe. The reason there is the Catholic church is that some Christians disagreed with their teachers, then the Protestants, The Church Of England, and many more broke from the Catholics. And remember, Christianity came from the Jewish beliefs. It all depends on you. And who is to say NOT having faith in a "god" is bad?

Answer 3

The catholic church teaches false doctrine , some things are truths and some things wrong . Matthew 23:9 " Do not call anyone on earth your father ; for One is your Father , He who is in Heaven ." Among many other great mistakes they make . Follow the Church of Christ , they believe on living by the Scriptures , Not adding to or taking away like it says in Revelation 22:18-19 God bless you and your family

Answer 4

You may as yet just not found the right religion for you. Try talking to the Mormon missionary's, The beliefs are not that unlike catholic but have so much more clear direction that you will understand all of it as you study. There is no asking why do we do this. You will be told why and the source from where it came.

Answer 5

Pray and ask God which church is right for you. Read your scriptures with a prayer before you read them to help develop your faith and understanding. I was Catholic when I was younger, I sought for the truth. You will not be mislead if you pray to know the truth in the name of Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

You have to realise that you are a sinner (Romans 3:23 ) All have sined and come short of the glory of God....The Bible says that
god gives each of us a measure of faith. If you are searching for salvation. (Romans 10:13 ) For whoso ever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:9) That if thou confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Many people will try to lead you this way or that way but, the bible says let everyman be a lier and the word of God be true. Folllow the Bible and do as it says an you will find the salvation that yoiu seem to be looking for. I pray thot God leads you the way of salvation. I hope that this helps God bless you. .

Answer 7

May I suggest first answering some good questions for yourself since it seems you are seeking.

1) Will you go to Heaven or Hell?

The Bible tells us clearly in Romans 3:23 (New International Version of the Bible -NIV) "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," If we fall short it means we miss the mark. Like jumping a ditch, if we miss the other side no matter how close we get we fall down. All have missed it, me, you, the priest down the street, the rabi in the temple, everyone. The price for sin is death eternal seperation from God. That means we all deserve to go to Hell becuase we have all sinned. But the great news is that there is a heaven and there is a way to get to it.

The Bible says in John 3:16 (NIV) "'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.' " We need to believe that Jesus was the Son of God that he died on the cross and that he rose again three days later. We need to ask Jesus to forgive us of our sins. The Catholics believe it is good deed, but the Bible tells us in Ephesians 2:8-10 (NIV) "8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

See the Jehovah Witness' believe Jesus was not God. If the Jehovahs would read their own Bible in John Cahpter 1 it clearly states in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was God and became flesh. Their own Bible tells them how to get to heaven, but they aren't going to make it because they don;t believe.

If you want, you could tell Jesus that you are a sinner, believe he died on the cross for your sins and that you believe he rose from the dead and that you want him to Save you from Hell. Be honest with Him. If you believe that he saved you, then you become born-again and are now a Christian. The next step would be to find a Church that believes in the Bible.

Email me if you need more guidance. But don;t take my words for it. Read it in the Bible. If it doesn't come from the Bible don't believe it.

Answer 8

You don´t need ´big faith´only as a mustard seed; That means you should ´plant´the seed of your faith in good ground, your own self, and it will grow as you ´nurture it and water it´. By hearing the word of God, faith cometh! So stay on course, faint not, pray always and share your faith with as many people as you can. God bless you!

Answer 9

Just because you have little faith doesn't mean that you can't make it grow stronger. Strengthen your testimony by praying daily, going to church every Sunday (or whatever day that your church services are), and just trying to grow your faith.

Answer 10
