Okay Her step-dad is my dads cousin (my uncle) but I consider her one of my first cousins. We are both fifteen and she wasn’t raised affiliated with a certain religion but her moms side is Jehovas Witnesses and her dads is Catholic but her mom isn’t religious at all. She said she believes in God but doesn’t know any teachings of any church. I know they are not against religion at all. Yesterday I was telling her how as a Catholic I believe the only salvation is through baptism, I was trying to give her hints you know. I was also telling her how I’m not Catholic my parents are but next year I will recieve confirmation and be able to actualy say Im a Catholic and claim it’s my own faith that I’m choosing to have, and she really liked what I told her about that. I invited her to my Catechism class but those don’t start till fall but she sounded really happy when I told her so I don’t think I’m shoving religion down her throat.
I know deep down that she wants something to believe in and call her own. When I tell her all these thing I know she not taking it in offence. I told her to join the youth group cause it actualy Is so much fun and the people are so down to earth and caring(she even said she wanted to join one). Any ideas to help her soul and relationship with God strengthen? I don’t go to mass which I should but… Nah (bad Catholic:( lol)

How Can I Help Lead My Cousin To My Faith?
Posted on May 20, 2013.
Send some missionaries to burn her village down. Then you can build her a new one, and tell her that if she wants to stay she has to get down in the amen corner and toe the line.
Lay off.
Leave her alone. I would be so angry if you were doing that to me because you are shoving religion down her throat. Just because she seemed happy, it’s her choice, if you really want her to be part of your faith you need to let the ‘God’ and ‘Jesus’ you believe in lead her to it.
Mind your own business.
All your arrogant, self-righteous self-justification is meaningless. She’s perfectly capable of finding her own way. Mind your own freaking business. If she asks, answer, but until she asks – as she doesn’t appear to have done yet – then butt out.
You don’t know that your faith is right for HER so don’t lead her towards your particular faith. If you love her, help her to find out about ALL faiths and let her choose for herself.
Lie to her regarding an afterlife and threaten her with eternal damnation…
that seems to work on some…
IMHO
Conspiring on the internet behind her back to brainwash her. Tsk tsk.
Love them and pray for them. DON’T preach at them or tell them they are going to hell.
Baptism?
I thought salvation was only through Jesus?
BTW, you can’t force anyone to your faith.
Leave people alone…you think what you want to think…so let others think for themselves too.
Leave her alone, you bully.
Leave her alone you creep…the last thing this world needs is another catholic. Geeeeeeze
