Answer 2

Connor, who is forcing you not to go and who is it that you are wondering about obeying? You're age has a good bit to do with the answer. If you are serious about being a Christian even if your parents aren't allowing you to go, then I feel badly for you.

When I was growing up, I knew people who's parents wouldn't allow them to go to church. Here's the deal. We are told that we are "not to forsake the assembling together." The reason is that it's very difficult to remain a Christian if we aren't accountable to anyone. We should all be praying for each other to stay on the right path. That is difficult when you can't be around Christians.

Having said that, I feel that God commands us to obey authority and to "honor thy mother and father." That means that if you are a minor, you need to obey them. I know that's not what you want to hear. But that's my opinion. Understand, though, that you can pray anywhere and read your Bible. God is everywhere, not just at church. You may find that if you are very disciplined in this that you will actually be "forced" to draw closer to God.

If you do have Christian friends, ask them to be in prayer about this. You all should pray that God will somehow change your parents' hearts and let you go to church. In the meantime, as long as you are not being abused, obey your parents or whoever is "forcing" you not to go. I hope that I understood your question and that I could help you.Fellow Christians in Yahoo!Answers, we need to pray for Connor.

One last thing to some of you who are telling Connor not to go to church if he doesn't want to and that no one can force him to go. Try reading the question the right way before you answer. He was saying that someone is forcing him NOT TO GO to church because it is Christian. That means that someone wants him to stay away from church. They aren't forcing him to go. Please make sure you understand a question before you answer it.

Just being your own person and living your life is a very dangerous way of living. Often times, people become hedonistic and make mistakes while taking this course. We need some sort of example or moral boundaries to regulate ourselves and create the balance between happiness, self fulfilment, and responsibility. \

That being said, your age DOES have a lot to do with this. Don't disobey your parents, but if you crave God, then ask for a Bible. Even if you cannot physically attend church, you can still have a relationship with God. You don't HAVE to gather [ although, it is good; I agree with being able to account to something ] However, you don't want to ignore the possibility of salvation either. So read, pray, and talk with God. Other than that, try and contact a church through e-mail or something. They should provide ways to assist you.

Now, if you do still want to attend, you must responsibly weight the consequences versus the benefits and then make your decision.

Answer 4

You should do what is in your heart to do...what is God telling you? That's all that matters. No one else. And the person before me saying just be good?? Well there is no such thing. We are born into sin and to be saved we must call on Jesus to come into out hearts. Without Jesus, there is only death. Think of it as you got into HUGE trouble with the law...your fines are in the 100's of thousands and you face jail time if you don't pay. Then a strange man walks into the courtroom, places all the money on the table and the judge sets you free. That's what Jesus does to you! Also, you don't need to go to church to be with God. Jesus said that where there are 2 or more gethered in my name there I will be. And you can always pray. Just find a friend or someone to pray with you and you have church, if that's what you want. Hope that helps!

I'm guessing your parents won't let you. I don't blame them. Christian churches believe in the bible. The bible says to honor your father and mother (in other words do what they tell you). It also condones murdering bad children who don't obey their parents.

Basically what i'm saying is, if you want to be a GOOD Christian, start now, in your own heart, by doing what the bible tells you and obeying your parents. You'll be 18 soon. Then you can do whatever you want.

Answer 6

Ultimately, that is between you and God. Since we don't have details, it's hard to give advice. Scripturally, Christians are called to come together to encourage one another, and to worship (Cf: Hebrews 10:24-25)

Also, "Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey-either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?" (Romans 6:16)

If you obey the one who prohibits your attendance at church, that person has become "god" in your life. If you obey God, you will likely suffer persecution for it, but then again, Jesus told us to expect that. "How blessed are you whenever people insult you, persecute you, and say all sorts of evil things against you falsely because of me! Rejoice and be extremely glad, because your reward in heaven is great! For that's how they persecuted the prophets who came before you." (Matthew 5:11-12)

Keep the faith, regardless of the situation you are in, and remember, if you suffer persecution, you are in good company. (See Hebrews 11:35ff)

Answer 8

It depends on who's forcing you but if you're over 18 you have a right to go where you want to...

Answer 9

Obey who? Who is forcing you? Religion is all nonsense anyway.....just be good in this life.

Answer 10

If you want to go, go.
If you don't, then don't
The choice is up to you...take controll of your life and do what makes you happy. You have the right to be happy and cannot let anyone force you to do anything.

Answer 11

You should not be forced into a religion, that will only make you resentful and bitter. Don't go, they can't force you.
