Will my parents really throw me out for not beleving in god? I never learned that in church.?

Question

I asked this question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtxgtzjbGL7oaXW2tO6QDxfsy6IX?qid=20060821153803AA9A7Kv

and people said that my parents would throw me out of the house because I dont believe in god and want to work on sundays to save money for college. Is this some hidden rule that I dont know about? Why would my parents do that??

Answer 1

Like I told you in your other Question...these people use fear to manipulate you. They dont know what your parents will do, only you can make the best guess on that. Like I said, just be confident and dont let the Christ Cultists scare you into submitting your free will to their stupidity.

Answer 2

The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Whatever day you reserve to honor God is sufficient, just find a good time to do it, i.e. Wednesday, Sunday night or some even have a Saturday night service. It's important to attend Church because there are several Godly principles that apply to believers that are vital to your walk.
You could just ask your boss for those couple hours off, many are willing to accomodate. Your living under your parents roof and by their rules, keep the peace and sit down with them and find a good compromise, this is a time for maturity.

Answer 3

My two Son's dont believe in God, both are adults 20 and 18, but I wouldn't
throw them out for disbelief, My oldest turns 21 in Sept, and I am throwing him out if he doesnt have a Job, and for that reason only, it has nothing to do with his disbelief, only his lazyness, he sits around the house or runs around with his friends instead of looking for a Job, The other is looking for a Job to pay his way through college, I dont plan to throw him out, my Daughter believes and is christian.
My point to all this is: are you doing something other then disbelief that may warrant being thrown out?

Answer 4

Did your parents say this to you, or are you going by what others have said? As a parent, though it may grieve me to see my child straying, I certainly would not 'throw them out.' Some factors to consider would be your age (saving up for college sounds like you are young) and your ability to provide for yourself. But, outside of the possibility that you are forty and leaching off of them, I can't think that your parents could be justified in throwing you out. IF they do, don't consider what they have done to be Godly. God does not throw us out of His house when we stray.

I will pray that your faith returns.

Answer 5

Your parents should love you unconditionally.. NO MATTER WHAT!! if they throw you out of the house because you dont believe in god.. 1. that isnt very christian of them.. 2. that isnt very parental of them 3. that isnt very HUMAIN of them!

If your parents do not love you unconditionally, something seriously is wrong!

Answer 6

Christ said he came not to bring peace, but a sword. A sword
symbolizing division. Not that that was his desire. But rather he
knew the prideful nature of man, and how they will hate their
own flesh and blood, over religion, and other things.

Answer 7

To get off you a$$ and get a job sounds good to me , and save money for college on your own ,theres no possible way your a white kid

Answer 8

THANK GOD YOU WERE LISTENING IN CHURCH

YOU ARE A KID, AND UNDER YOUR PARENTS GUIDANCE. WHAT YOU WERE TAUGHT IN CHURCH WAS TO HONOR YOUR PARENTS. THEY WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO ANY REASONABLE REQUEST. USE YOUR OWN WILL WHEN YOU MOVE OUT.

HOWEVER YOU COULD BE COLD AND HUNGRY OUT ON YOUR OWN WITHOUT HELP. THAT IS WHEN WE REALIZE HOW FORTUNATE WE WERE BEFORE.

NO NEED TO EAT HUMBLE PIE, IS THERE?

I'm not justifying there speech to you!!!

Answer 9

If your parents would kick you out over this, I'd consider moving out first. Sorry, but I just don't get it. If they're true Christians I can't see them doing this.

Answer 10

well if people said it, i wouldn't sweat it. now if my parents said it and threatened me that's another story. sounds to me that you just went to church to please mom and dad. we go to church to please God and thank Him for all the wonderful things He does for us out of sheer love and mercy, if we love Him. so, taking a few hours out of the 168 we get a week receiving all His love and care isn't so bad. i think that your parents are trying to let you see that giving back to God is necessary to be able to reap the benefits He has in store for you especially if your going to college. so keep going and ask the Lord for guidance in the financial end of your college journey. God bless and keep you.
