Answer 1

first, God doesn't care about religion, that is man made, he cares about how we feel in our hearts toward Him, and a religious person can go to heaven, if he has accepted Jesus in his heart, and there are some Christians that might not make it, that is Gods choice for only he knows our hearts, pray for ;your boy friend , ask God to touch his heart in away that he seeks Him. God honors our prayers for others, i prayed for my husband , and God took care of the rest, don't give up on him, because God wants him also, and thru your prayers it will happen. i hope the best for you,

Answer 2

I think you may be confused-- Catholics are Christians. What you are is a Protestant Christian. Protestants were a sect of disillusioned Catholics who disagreed with the Church back in the 1600s. Catholics were (and are) followers of Christ. Technically, Catholics and Protestants are just different denominations of the same religion. They both believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, and that Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected 3 days laters. That's the cornerstone of the Christian faith, and that's what makes Catholics Christian.

Not all Christians (regardless of whether they are Protestant or Catholic) will be going to Heaven. So, it's best to work out your own salvation with fear and trimbling, and have a real relationship with God, and encourage your bf to have a real relationship with God also. At the end, even married couples attending the same church won't both be in heaven. It's about a person's heart, and their relationship with God more than anything else.

Answer 3

Because a person is a catholic doesn't necessarily mean he's not a christian. The problem between a protestant and catholic marraige is the kids. In this day and age where the divorce rate is 60% one does not need to start off with that kind of a wedge between you. Marraige is tough enough the way it is. I'm not convinced you're going to listen to me but my advice is to find someone who is closer to you in his beliefs. Because you're in love doesn't mean anything. Usually, everybody who gets married is in love. A girl just doesn't go out with a guy and say "you're the most boring guy i've ever met, I wasted a whole night with you, I had a miserable time and oh, by the way, how about if we get married next week". People who get married are just as much as in love as you are when they get amrried. Yet, 60%of them end up in divorce. The divorce usually leaves them with so much bitterness and anger that they take it into the next marraige and ruin that too. That's why the divorce rate for a person in his 2nd marraige is 70%. The divorce rate the 3rd time around is 80%. My advice is to save yourself all that trouble and wait and find a person who is closer to your beliefs. Just the way you love this guy you'll love someone else too. There's an old saying.......'if you want the right person you must be the right person'. Start serving God in your church and growing as a christian. Pray that God would lead you to the right person so that it is a divine appointment and not just you trying to find that person by random chance. Let the Lord lead you to the right person. He will. If you want a marriage that is going to last a lifetime, you need to do it right the first time. Look around you....all of your friends and family that have been divorced. Even the ones that are still married aren't necessarily happy. Mathew 6:33 says "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you". "These things" in the context of that passage means the other things that you need. That would include a marraige partner. Seek His kingdom and let Him do the supplying. Like I said, I'm not sure you're going to follow my advice.

Answer 4

Have you ever thought that the reason you are questioning this and you can't stop thinking about it may be because God is trying to tell you something. You cannot make someone switch to another religion unless they want to. It has to be something they want for themselves. You have some choices to make and I suggest you pray to God for the answers. They will come to you. You need to decide which is more important, your relationship with God who can give you an eternity in Heaven or your short time on earth with a boyfriend who cannot get you to Heaven. Love can be very blind sometimes. You need to follow what your heart tells you is right, even if it means leaving the boyfriend. If he is not meant to be, God has another plan for you. However, if your boyfriend loves you enough, he will listen to you and possibly even change. Remember, if you are having problems now about religion, imagine what may come up next.

Answer 5

First off, you could possibly use some education on this subject. Catholicism is one of the many forms of Christianity. Catholics, Protestants, Baptists, Mormons, Presbyterians, 7th Day Adventists, etc. all consider Jesus to be the messiah, so all are Christians.

Please remember, ALL these groups believe they are going to heaven, not just yours. ALL of them know they're right. ALL of them think the others are wrong. You DO understand this, right? Your belief that your bf isn't going to heaven is just YOUR belief, and has nothing to do with the way things neccessarily ARE. You live your way, let others live their way, and let GOD sort out who's right and wrong at the end, ok? Stop being 'confuss', whatever THAT means.

Answer 6

You might find what you are looking for with your BF. Why dont you ask him about being Catholic? Find out more before you judge him like that.

We are the original Christians. You cannot get purer then that. Everything after the 1500's is a light version of being Catholic. Every one that started a Protestant Sect was a Catholic. And the church you belong to was taken from a Protestant Sect. if you are non denominational, or Evangelical.

Answer 7

There are so many different kinds of Catholics. Some believe that the BVM is like a goddess, part of the Holy Quartet, without whose intercession the Holy Trinity would pulverize the human race. Others Catholics believe pretty much what Protestants believe, and they stay with the Church because that's the place they believe they can tell the most people about the Christ to whom we have direct access (i.e., not through Mary.) There is a wide spectrum of belief among Protestants, too (e.g. Anglicans compared to Baptists; Calvinists compared to Arminians; Charismatics compared to cessationists.) You might not have trouble finding a Protestant with whom you had ALMOST as many theological disagreements as you do with your ROman Catholic boyfriend. In the end, what defines us as "real Christians" is the ability for us to answer positively "I know whom I have believed, and his name is Jesus."

If you get married to a Catholic, you must agree to baptize your infants and allow them to be brought up in the Catholic faith.
You might love your boyfriend now, but having so little say in the way you pass on your faith to your kids could put a real stress on this love.

If faith is really important to you both, you either need to come to an understanding of how you can share this important element of your lives together, or find different spouses with whom you CAN share it. I had to break up with an atheist I loved. It was difficult but in the long run, the right decision.

Answer 8

You and your boy friend should read the bible together; especially the book of John, chapter three. Read the story about Nicodemus visiting Jesus at night.
John 3:3 Jesus replied, "I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God."
John 3:6-7 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven. So don't be surprised at my statement that you must be born again.
Catholics can be saved and go to heaven if they are truly born again believers. This comes from your heart, not the church that you attend. Encourage him to ask Jesus into his heart and have an intimate relationship with him.

Answer 9

I know of many couples who have very different religious back grounds. Why would you want to change him? Everyone has a choice to have what religion they want. Their is no greater, or lesser religion. Their is no true church. Jesus said, " I am the way and the light". Yet so said, their are some religion's that don't even believe in Jesus. Don't let a matter of what is better, for him stand in the way of true love. You are both right. Love him, and love your church. Go with him to his church, and perhaps he might come to yours. If two people serious love another, nothing will come between that love, not even religion.

Answer 10

Who told u that Catholics are not meant for heaven? God is the Only one that knows whether whose going or not. Don't worry about ur Friend's religion because you may miss out on the important things in life and that's having a good time with him.
LET IT GO,God Bless!
