well.. i know how it feels.. but. whether or not its going to be okay is up to you. you should share this with your mother. really talk about how this situation is making you feel.
She doesn’t do the religion thing well. Every time I try talking to her she just says I’m closing off my mind or changes the subject.
then tell her its not about what religion either of you are. its about being family. and taking care of each other no matter what. caring about the others life
She knows that I don’t really think of her differently. Sorry, I’ve got to go, I’ve got to run something over to my brother’s daycare.
what is their religion?
and just because they follow a different religion that doesnt follow your god doesnt mean that they are going to hell. they are doing nothing wrong from what you’v said.
And my god, could you be learning from the selfish? you sound like one of those life time Christians that are close minded people and want to convert every one to Christianity
i say, you be what you want to be and let them be what they want to be, and just keep religion out of the family affairs
Heather . . . simply trust God. Give your first allegiance to Him, and leave the rest up to His mercy. Sometimes we must choose between God and our family. Mat. 10:37-38 says: “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.”
Trust God to bring your family members along afterwards . . . He will offer, and they have only to accept.

My suggestion is to pray for your family everyday. There is still hope for them! And Jesus feels the same way that you do about your family, he wants all people to turn to him. So pray, hope, and live your life as an example to them. I hope this encourages you.
It sounds’ like you have been pestering your family - Fixing your eyes on them - Your eyes should be fixed on Jesus. When you look to this world, your heart becomes sad. If they believe in the spirit realm of the dead, that is there choice.
As for you, please don’t be sad for them - GOD is more than capable of bringing your whole family into his kingdom. The LORD doesn’t work in our time - No, His work is done in his own good time.
As for your life - Those who have Christ are very beautiful - Jesus is beauty. Pay more attention to becoming a decent person - Rather than a good person - only GOD is good.
Decency is the better attitude. Don’t break the law - Don’t do drugs’ - Don’t swear in your parents’ home (don’t use bad words’ at all) - The list is endless. I hope you don’t mind me giving you this advice.
Hi Heather, I know this post is older, but I hope you’re working thing out:) Under religion I have posted private as I don’t get into discussions about it because I’m not a Minister, plus I don’t have the skills. For you my dear I’ll break my rules a bit. Honour thy Father means a lot of different things, not do as your mom and dad say. Your faith is between you and God, not them. Spending Jesus’s name can be done with any words what so ever, just actions or leading by example:) You don’t have to worry one minute about your family going to hell….not your call. God’s judgement and he reserves the right to change his mind at any moment..usually the last..lol. He’s something very important, beware of false prophets…if anybody suggests you should “detach” yourself from your family..warning! Shout me. You are doing a good job and life is a work in progress…lol. On another note; how are you and are you having any fun?
Thanks Max_needs. I haven’t been on the computer much because my has hundreds of viruses, the internet refuses to work, professionals can’t fix it, and my little brothers accidentally broke my only powercord. As a matter of fact, my friend, who’s name I can’t mention because now he might be floating around on here, has been trying to tell me things that I know in my heart can’t be true. Sometimes I wish he were just my friend again. Someone I could hang with and turn to. But I guess not. As a plus, he and my family don’t like each other at all. He won’t even talk to me at school anymore. But my life has been looking up. Like when I wanted to help a bi friend of mine because I believe they should be treated equally and respected like Jesus and God love us no matter what. He said that I couldn’t be a Christian. I told him what I thought and that it was God who decided, not him. Various things would set him off about me not being a Christian, such and wanted people to be able to choose to have and abortion. But really, I think the Holy Spirit is guiding me, and I have a feeling it wants me to help others love each other and respect them no matter what. But once again, thank all of you.
Heather, I cannot for the life of me imagine why a guy would want to date another guy rather than, say, Angelina Jolie . . . but I do know this: NO ONE can say who is going to heaven and who is going to hell. I don’t think God wants ANYONE to go to hell. How do you get to hell? By saying “no” to God one too many times . . . but God is the judge of what is “too many times.” I also know that you must treat everyone with dignity and respect. There are people whose views on religion and politics are diametrically opposed to mine . . . but I am their friend, and they are mine. I can disagree with your opinion and your choices and still remain your friend. After all, you really need a friend AFTER you’ve made a bad choice! I have made many bad choices in my life, and I thank God that He and my friends did not desert me as a result. Now, as a friend, I believe it is my duty to tell someone if I think he or she is making some huge mistake . . . but I do NOT threaten to withdraw my friendship. And I know that condemnation does NOT work in the case of someone who may be sliding toward an incorrect moral choice. A certain priest once condemned me, and I KNOW that he will have to answer for his judgment to the Supreme Judge. I can be your friend, but I cannot be your friend AND your judge. And I will NOT judge you, be you Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or atheist. Only God can do that. And if I can do something for you that will help you make the right decision, then I will do so. But if you make the wrong decision anyway, I will still be here to help lift you up after you fall. And I appreciate my friends doing the same for me.
Pray and fast for your family (and for yourself - that Jesus will strengthen you and keep you as a light in their dark world that will draw them to him). I pray that your family will use the free will God’s given them to accept and choose Jesus as he is the only way to God and to heaven. God bless you and your family.
