1 | How do I honor God and my parents? | Ex 20:12 | Searcher56 | 56373 | ||
Sweetest Mami greetings and welcome to the forum, Hank has given great advice. I believe we never should stop honoring our parents, even when we are old ... I'm 50 and I still honor them. My wife grew up Catholic and has left, when she became a Christian. Her family accepts her choice, so it is easier for us. It is tough when someone doesn't want to listen to an alternative in their beliefs. Who would your father listen to? Would someone older, who has found the Lord, after years as a Catholic work? If you know that, ask a pastor of a local church if they know anyone to fit that need. Meanwhile, live for Him, so they see the Lord in you. Share what He is doing in you and for you and the differnece He is making. I'd say it is okay to go to their church ... but, you don't (shouldn't) say the "Hail, Mary"'s. We go to the Catholic church when we visit. I don't know the routine, yet. Hope this helps, Searcher |

2 | How do I honor God and my parents? | Ex 20:12 | Sweetest Mami | 56432 | ||
Well, Searcher. My dad is hostile to every other type of religion. And to him, most churches that are seeking more relationship with God (not through a ritualistic worship) are cults, so that is where the problems arise. I know that I am only 19 and don't have as much wisdom as someone who has been walking with the Lord and living longer than I have. My parents would rather have me give them lip service and lie than to attend the church(es) that I attend. If I were to go to church with them here, they would not be satisfied until I became Catholic again. I will now, and am not going to bind myself to that kind of tradition again. I know that trials come in my Christian journey and if my dad has to be the thorn in my side, His grace is still suffecient. Thank you. | ||||||
