Bible Question:
What if someone threatens to leave if the believer goes to church? (I'm not talking about a situation where the person goes to church every night, I'm talking about a believer that wants to go once a week.) Should you go to church and let the person who made the threat make the choice if they want to follow through with it or not? Thanks! |
Bible Answer: I think it all depends on where ones priority lay. Are you going to forsake the relationship for God or God for the relationship? Normally the cases that I am aware of, of this type, the unbeliever always become jalousie of the relationship that the believer has with God. Rather it is going to church, reading the bible, mediating or praying. I think that if we do our part and put God first before everything and everyone else, maintain our relationship with Him, He'll honor that and work the problem out. Matt. 6:33-34 and Prov. 3:5-7.
