??????

Answer 1

Married or not married does not matter.

For Catholics one of the God parents needs to be a Catholic - technically you need only one Catholic sponsor to be baptized. The other God parent can be of another christian faith. They are a "Christian Witness" rather than a Sponsor.

So you can have a Sponsor and a Christian Witness whom we lump together as God parents

Answer 2

A God parent's duties has nothing to do with being married or not. You are not going to be raising the child. A god parent is one who stands up for the child as sort of a witness and to promise to make sure the child's religious life is on track. THAT IS ALL. A god parent does NOT take over guardianship of a child if something happens to the parents. In order for guardianship to be named the parents have to do that through a lawyer and notary public. Standing up as god parent is just a religious ceremony.

Answer 3

Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Heavenly Father). Almighty God is a separate supernatural being who dwells in the dominion Of Heaven. The Holy Spirit isn't a residing person in line with se, yet an excellent potential source ( basically like extremely violet rays from the sunlight) this is controlled and directed via God Himself. The Scriptures would not let us know if God (Heavenly Father) has mothers and dads or no longer. yet He would desire to have because of the fact how else became into He created?

Answer 4

you don't necessary have to be married this day in age to be a god parent therefore it is a big step but yes you can be a god parent in doing so comes great responsibility you are the standing parent when the natural parent can't do you Will be the extra eyes and ears of that child therefore god luck with being a god parent

Answer 5

Yes, you can..I am a god parent for my nephew and the godfather isnt of our religion either. We are both single too.You will go to the first communion with the child and see them wont you? That is a wonderful thing for you to do for them. It made me feel grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of him growing into be a fine young man..He is now 26 yrs old and a really good man. Have fun and enjoy your new responsibility! God Bless you!

Answer 6

The only single criteria for being a Good God parent is accepting the responsibility for the child's religious up bringing and NOT just turning up for birthdays with a bigger present than the other guests.

Answer 7

I think if he asked you it is okay that you are single. It is probably more about being a good adult the son can look to and rely on for a good example in life, so it is a compliment to you that they have asked you. Ask your friend what is expected of you if you are worried about accepting the responsibility. If you are not comfortable about any religious aspect of it, I would talk to your friend about it, or the priest. Good luck.

Answer 8

It does not matter if you are single or married, you can still be a god parent of a baby.

Answer 9

You don't need to be married to be a god parent. So to answer your question, yes you can be the child's god parent.

Answer 10

Firstly, the word is "his" and not "hes".

You can only be a legal, legitimate god-parent if you are Catholic.

If you're not Catholic, you can attend conversion classes and go from there. Married or not married doesn't matter, but religious affiliation does.
