Question
i intend to get married to an SDA guy i am catholic but he says i must convert to his church but their doctrines are contradictory to the faith i have grown up with which is catholic and honestly i don't want to leave what should i do


Answer
Peace


    dear Hein,
           Don't convert for anyone but Christ. Catholics reject the SDA claim of being a Christian community, as they reject our claim. However, I believe that history proves the Catholic case.

  It's a rather complex debate for this forum, so I won't go into it at this time.

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
