1 | How do I honor God and my parents? | Ex 20:12 | Sweetest Mami | 56358 | ||
Ok. First of all, thank you for the response. I am non-denominational and my parents are Catholic. I don't beleive in reverencing Mary and a lot of other "religious" things that they practice and that I used to practice. I know that I need to sit down and talk to them, but my father is very adamant about Catholicism being the only "religion". They do not yet understand that I am seeking a relationship with God and not a religion. They think that I'm in a cult because of how I refuse to back down off of my beliefs. I realize that to adequately answer the question, you'd need a lot more background than I can give you in 2,000 words or less. I don't really know what else to tell you. Basically, my parents are trying to tell me what church I can and cannot attend, and I don't think that at this age, they should be able to do that. I need to know whether disagreeing with them in that respect and still doing my own thing is dishonarable. I am not bashing the Catholic church, but I do not agree with the doctrine of the church. Thank you. | ||||||

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. | ||||||
