Question
I'm returning home to the Baptist church! I was a convert to the Roman Catholic Church. I have a few questions.... What bible can I use? Is it ok to have a glass of wine or beer without becoming in drunkenness? Is it ok to beleive in forms of science, as long as I know and proclaim God the creator of all things? When I commit a sin, do I just pray to Jesus to forgive, that's it? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Shawn,

Apologies for the delay in answeing this question, but the question has only just got to me.

First of all it is great news that you have come home, to obviously where you really belong.
Lets break it down so as to answer your concerns one at a time.

I use seeveral Bibles but mostly the King James Verion or the New English Bible, some people find the Gideon Version to be good, but it is completely your choice.
It is fine to have a glass of wine or beer, the Bible says that we are to be sober in mind, so  long as it does not lead to drunkeness it is fine.
Science is a great thing, and science has achieved many great things, but there is only one Creator, only one Supreme being and that is God, as He is in all things and all things are in Him.Even evolutionists are now accepting that as being a fact.
Sin is a little word that says a lot, it means a transgression against God,our sins were attoned and forgiven when Jesus died on the cross, but God likes us to confess our sins and to be completely open to Him, this does not mean that we can sin reagardless, but if we believe we have sinned we must pray in earnest and in faith, that is what God wants from us.

Hope I have been some help to you.

Regards and God Bless
