I am not christian so cant answer in the way you wish\nbut love to you and i am so sorry to hear about your mother\nand i do not feel that anyone ill and so run down with life will get anything but the love and help they deserve when they pass to their next life\nI am sure God knows her mind and how she felt , how she could not cope any more and how she was not thinking right\nGod doesnt judge as harshly as some people\n xx

To be honest I don't think you are though no one can really tell you that for 100% as only God knows the answer. However, imagine a situation like that, you are a good kid for your parents and suddenly you go down your own path and you reject your parents and stop caring about them. Are you still a good kid? I doubt it...Do your parents still love you? Am sure they do even though you hurt them.\nSame is with God I presume. Am sure he loves you and is waiting for you to come back but he is also hurt by the fact that he is dismissed. \nPlus you have to remember that a person has many obligations to fulfil if he or she wants to be saved. This includes worshipping God, praying, going to church, doing good deeds etc. You can find  it all in your prayer book. Hope I helped you a little.\nTake care

if they are true christians they should accept u for who u are now and never give up on loving u...on ur part u should not blame them and forgive u right away but u must prove to urself and to them ur on the right path that all u need is their support to make ur journey successful!

Be very honest with your mother about your spiritual beliefs.  You must have some reasons for choosing to be a Christian.  Tell her the things you believe.  I would emphasize that being respectful the whole time is key, as I am sure you know once someone is offended they will shut off from what the other person is saying.  Highlight the common beliefs between the two of you first, and then mention the differences.  I would point out that she doesn't make your father and brother go to church with her, and since she respects their decision you feel that you should be able to have that same respect.  God is ecumenical.  Wouldn't your mother feel better knowing you were going to a faith service where you actually got something out of it, instead of just going through the motions?  \n\nI definitely recommend doing this at "the right time" whatever that may be for you two.  Perhaps you guys have excellent talks in her room while she is picking out clothes for the next day.  Maybe you chat really well over dinner at a cafe.  You will know what feels right and I really feel that talking to her at the right time will be key in getting her to really focus on what you are saying.

That is wrong of them.  My parents do not "approve" of what I do (I actually sell pure romance items aka sex toys among other things) but they still support me no matter what.  Throwing the bible at you does not get the bills paid and will not force your way into heaven.  I am a born again christian myself but I still feel that there is a time to pray and religion will help you and there is a time when you just need to do what you feel is best for your survival.  \n\nHonestly, it is not very "christian like" of them to throw you out of their lives and threaten you with promises of spending eternity in hell.  Maybe they should re-read that bible of theirs.

I will tell you the truth..... I am strong in my faith.... I believe as I believe, not because my parents taught me the way, or that it was passed on to me from any other... but because I have studied it myself and came to the conclusion that what my parents have passed on to me is the Truth.......\n\nYet, if I were born in another country whose faith differs from what I know today, then I would be strong in another faith.....\n\nand that is because I would have studied what was given me from my parents and because it is the way that my people have always known the Lord God..... and that is how I would serve Him.\n\n\nYour sister,\nGinger,\ngmcfayden@yahoo.com

Unfortunately both parents are in heaven, but my father, was more understanding, I knew he loved me dearly, he was a great father. My mother was very caring and loving, so when they were living I guess I'd have to say both. I know you said if they were living, but they still mattered at the time

sorry to hear that, my parents are still alive, i dont want to think about them dying yet. Just pray for them that their souls may rest in peace.

Yep.  My parents.  Not that they were all that religious to begin with, but they did take me to church when I was younger.  When I told my mother I didn't believe in god, she said she was disapointed.  When I told her I was an atheist, she said 'people don't like atheists'.  Now she's pretty much agnostic, after seeing my reasoning.  About the same with my father, but then, he's not as talkative.\n\nAnd I definitely helped my last boyfriend let go of god.

Despite what others have said, you are right.  Although there are exceptions, CHANCES ARE that you will practice the religion of your parents.  Not everyone has an opportunity to know Christ.  There are people who have never heard the name.  Or there are those who have been introduced to Christianity in a negative way (ie. colonization).  Religion is more likely to be determined by geographic location than anything else.

Daisy, I'm sure your parents are proud of you, and rightfully so. The kind of pride that the Bible is against is a arrogant pride that leaves God out of the equation.

Well since your father does not believe then you know his stance\nHowever, since your mother does, It would not hurt you one bit to look into the Bible and decide for yourself what you choose to believe
