1 | Let Mormon in on family celebrations? | Mark 2:17 | D.D.1961 | 47044 | ||
I have been re-married to my husband (MORMON) for 10 months and my brother refuses to let him participate in any family functions. It has made myself and my other siblings uncomfortable. My husband doesn't push any of his beliefs on anyone and never even mentions his beliefs unless someone asks. I don't "see" my brother changing his mind and allowing my husband in on family celebrations. I know we aren't supposed to necessarily seek out those who are of different religions and "hang out" with them, but it says we are to love our neighbors as ourselves. To a certain degree, I would think this would be an opportunity for my brother to witness to my husband like I do. My husband doesn't think my brother is showing any type of Christian behavior and I can't really disagree with him. What would any of you do if the situation were in your family? PS. My brother tells his 5 year old daughter (my niece) that my husband is friends with the Devil). I think this is cruel because my husband loves children and now my niece is afraid of him and has never even seen him) | ||||||
2 | Let Mormon in on family celebrations? | Mark 2:17 | stjones | 47045 | ||
While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." I have a feeling Jesus would have dinner with your husband while your brother sounds like the Pharisees to me. I don't know you, your brother, or the rest of your family well enough to give advice, but I would have to ask myself if I really wanted to spend time with anyone so mean-spirited. I pray that God will bless and guide you. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
