Question

How do I make my family believe in Christ if they don't want to believe in Christ?

Community Answer

You can't make someone receive a free gift -- you can only offer it to that person. Share the truth and then leave it alone and pray for the Holy Spirit to do the convincing. If your family members say no, respect that. Live an example before them and hope that they will eventually believe. Just don't be the person who has no respect and keeps pestering and asking.

Question

How do I love my enemies?

Community Answer

Pray for them. Choose to see them how God sees them - he loves them. Just remember that you once led a sinful life before you became a Chrisitan, yet God showed us much love and sent Jesus to die for us. You can do it.

Question

God is love, and is unchanging, so why did He kill people in the Old Testament?

Blackaddergoes4

Community Answer

Because in the Old Testament, the Israelites were God's chosen people, and when other people wanted to destroy the Jews, they threatened the chosen people and God had to defend them.

Question

How do I pray to regain my prophetic power that I lost somehow?

Community Answer

Sometimes God gives you things for a certain time for a certain reason. It is not a power, it is a gift, a gift that can be taken away.

Question

Do I have to be Baptized to receive my Holy Spirituality?

Carolyn Barratt

Yes. Baptism is how one becomes Born Again in Christ the Lord. In Baptism, we die with Christ; are in the Tomb with Christ; and we rise again to New Life with Christ.

Question

How can one speak in tongues?

Madeleine Flamiano

Community Answer

Speaking in tongues is often considered a sign of incredibly strong faith. First, focus on praying to invoke the Holy Spirit. Pray all the Mysteries of the Rosary—including the Joyful, Sorrowful, Luminous, and Glorious Mysteries—throughout the week. Commit to daily spiritual practice. Over time, the Holy Spirit may enter your body and allow you to speak in tongues.

Question

How do I ask the Holy Spirit of a man is a suitable partner for me? We are from the same faith group, age, similar interests and social circle;yet both have traumatic pasts.

Madeleine Flamiano

Community Answer

Try the Three-Day Miracle Prayer to the Holy Spirit. Meditate on your hope for clarity and seek God's wisdom regarding this man. Also ask for insight about how to bond with him and open up about your pasts. Then, pray to the Holy Spirit daily for three consecutive days. By the third day, you should receive an answer from the Lord.

I have tried everything to hear God. What do I do?

Carolyn Barratt

Just keep calmly and gently praying to God. Even if you do not hear God (remember, not even St. Teresa of Kolkata always heard the voice Of God), He will certainly hear you, and will respond to your needs and He sees them.

Question

My best friend told me I am going to hell because I believe in the Old Testament and because I light candles sometimes and pray and believe in saints and have their statues. This is how I was raised.

Carolyn Barratt

Community Answer

Your friend is ignorant of what Christianity is all about. Of course, you never said that your friend was even Christian. Therefore, he/she does not what what he/she is talking about.
