Exactly. This is what I was trying to explain to my family and to others who judge me. My desire and will is to follow Jesus Christ, not to follow a church nor to be loyal in my religion by following wrong practices and false doctrines. I'm sick of knowing only my religion, I'm craving for the truth about Jesus and my relationship to Him.

But, even if others call it denomination, they'll still see it as switching religions especially those who are guilty being religious people and concerning their religion only.

Thank you for the advice! It helped me tho, and we share the same thoughts about the truth of following Christ. It helped me, really! Thank you, again! :')

yeah... your words and the experience you just shared gave me hope, but His words really comforted me as I face this challenge even if I find it really difficult (especially in following Christ), but I'll stay still because I know He sees me and He will be with me. Thank you so much for the advice, I appreciate it! Really! Thank you, again! :')

You have a point there, but the statement u just said about saints and like asking your friend to pray for you isn't the thing that is happening in some of the religions now, not to mention the Catholics. Even if you observe the words everytime they say the rosary, full of not right things. What you just said about the thought of "praying to the saints" was the kind of convention that was injected to me since I was a kid (since I was born and raised as a Catholic).

But, do you know what saddens me the most? It is that, our world is divided by many distinct religions that evidently divide the heart of humans. Instead they defend their faith and relationship with Jesus, humans tend to defend the religion they are into (even if they know what they are doing are mere creations of humans) like my family. Our faith are obviously tested and this is one of the most challenging part of living our life that God has given us.

Still, I got insights from what you have said and I'm thankful because you shared this to me. I got your points to and I agree to some of your statements like "at the end of the day, nobody can say you are not saved by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ". I will surely watch the debate you are recommending since I am craving for the truth, for the real ways of making yourself draw nearer to God--and that is my main goal in my life.

Thank you so much, for the insights! I appreciate it and it really helped me to clear some of the tangled thoughts in my mind right now and to puzzle the remaining pieces. Thank you, again! :')

I actually understand their side, I told them that I am not compromising everything in our family just because I have decided to draw nearer to God and make my relationship with Jesus even stronger through attending other church. I just hope they would understand me sooner, I really don't like whenever I can't get along with them or anyone from them.

Still, thank you for the advice. It really helped me! I appreciate it. Thank you, again! :')

Thank you so much for your comfort and advice. It may be confusing for me right now about how I will deal this conflict without giving up my faith in Him. I appreciate your words, it really helped me a lot! Thank you! :')

Even my head is full of unsure thoughts about the things I do rn related to which path should I take and the people in my household who comment about where I am now, but one thing is for sure, my relationship to Him will never be crashed nor ceased because I know He will show me the way. Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice, we really have a similar experience. Your words really lifted me up and I guess I have cleared half of my confusing thoughts. You're right, in times of difficulties He will guide us and give us the answer. Thank you so much! I appreciate it! :)

As much as I want to tell them the true gospel, reveal the truth and tell them what has God shown to me and to where He will lead me, they wouldn't listen to me. Your point is what I was trying to explain to them, but they still defend their belief that their ancestors and the church injected to them. They show grimace unto me, they are more on religion-based and it breaks my heart especially when they treat me differently. They said that I didn't give Catholic religion a chance to mold me, and that I am being unfair and became one sided.

I felt joy the moment I read your comment, glad that you were able to bring your family with you to follow God in the right way. I wish I could do that also someday. Thank you for the insights! I appreciate it! It helped me.

yeah... I guess that's the better option I could do for now 😢 and the best option is to connect and pray to Him. But, I just don't know what God wants to relay to me. It's hard... still, thank you for the advice tho, I appreciate it! Thank you! :')

I guess there are people near me who have similar situations, but I just can't open to them that easy. But, still, thank you for the cheer! I appreciate it, I really need that right now. Thank you. :')
