How do you talk about Christianity with your parents if they're not Christian?

Question

I am Christian.

Answer 1

It is a difficult area but as i had said before plant the sead and backoff life like christ and he shall do the rest, but when they are visiting you in your house make sure they participate in a pre-meal prayer, i mean it is your house after all and all your asking for is their respect and as hard as it would be to do it if they refuse they have no business in you rhouse, all they can do is harm your faith and God will take it from there.

Answer 2

I'm a Christian and my mother was a Christian but she had a stroke which left her paralyzed on her left side. It also made her bitter towards God. There were days I could talk to her about how much God loved her and the blessings that she was well in other ways and still had her right mind and other days I couldn't reach her at all.

She told me that God must have hated her or she wouldn't be in a wheelchair and she didn't want to hear the truth.

All you can do is to wait - there will be days your parents will want to hear the truth. Make certain you're ready to tell them.

Answer 3

While it is important to share your faith, you must also remember to honor your parents. Be humble, pray for guidance and pray for them. Start slowly, by explaining about your faith and what it has done for you. (However, you need to show them as well. It is important to watch your actions!) If talking to them seems overwhelming, try leaving tracts around the house or some Christian literature. Listen to Christian music around your house or in the car. Watch how they react. If that goes well, invite them to Church and/or do a home Bible study. It is important to remain patient, you can't make someone believe. People come to Christ when they feel the need. You will need some support from a friend in Christ. Do not be afraid to ask for guidance.

Answer 4

I think the first thing is to know whether or not they believe in God. If they do the first thing I would do is invite your mom to Church. You need to change you lifestyles. If you are not listening to Christian music you should. Find a few songs that your mom would like and let her listen.
She will begin to see changes in you if you are changed. You need to be disciplined in your walk with Christ.
Are you involved with your church? If your a youth and you are not in a local youth group find one. (I would be happy to help).
Moms are the easiest to approach, men seem to Be harder headed. But if she really loves you she will see the importance of this to you and welcome it. You need to be an example of Christ every time you are around her. If you do so the Holy Spirit will work on her and she will eventually come to you. Be that example for her to follow and she will talk to you.
Don't give up. If you are going to church keep it up, if not you need to start. And when you are going ask her to come along. You never know if today will be the day that JC is working on her heart.

Answer 5

That's a difficult question to answer. What I have done with my parents is let them bring up Christianity, and they did a lot. I just focused on praying for them and for opportunities to share the gospel and focused on living an exemplary life. Non-Christians are quick to note any hypocrisy among Christians. My dad became a Christian about four years after me and my mom is still seeking. Keep in mind that it is the hardest to witness to your family so don't take it personal if they aren't eager to convert.

Answer 6

every religion has contradictions
and simiularities ,respect your mother and father ,
ask them that they understand that you still love the same god,
just that you love the egsample christ gave in how to love god,
that he is a teacher about knowing more of the loving that god is.

they deserve to know
there is nothing worse than suspecting but not knowing
it possably is better that they ask ,but you know them best,
showing respect for thier beliefs must be a part of the solution
keep going to thier /your root belief ,they too are bound for heaven
we are just following different teachers
above all dont argue ,let them know if you can without distress or debate ,but dont forget where you come from,
god loves respect ,as does our christ.
tell them sepperatly if you can ,but be a christian if they dont understand,
often they feel you are rejecting thier belief but tell them you can comprehend the teachings of jesus teaching about god better [if this is true] thier good belief allowed you to find christ respect that
dont hide nor be afraid ,pray to god for strength ,and ask that jesus help you to get them to see its love not rejection.

Answer 7

First of all, you need to pray & commit your parents to the Lord. Tell Him that you really want your parents to be saved. Depending on how receptive your parents are to christainity, you can invite your parent to your church events(You may consult your church pastor,leader or your mentor). Don't force or urge with them. Pray before you talk with them about Jesus. Ask God for wisdom and tactfulness.

Answer 8

My mom isn't a Christian and I just don't talk about it with her. I know she isn't willing to listen, she is certainly willing to insult me about religion, but I know she isn't searching for answers so I just let her do all the talking she wants. She knows what I believe, there is no point in preaching to deaf ears.

Answer 9

Peace be with you.

Jesus said; if thou can not believe in my words, then believe in the works that I do, for it is not I who does the Works, but my Father, which is in heaven. I do what I have heard of my Father.

Anyone who is in your life, tell them the Good News, tell them the truth, not your truth, but God's truth.

Jesus said, if you feed the poor, gave them drink, clothed them, or visited them that are sick or in prison, then you have done also unto me.

Do you honor your mother and father by letting them see your good works. or do you just give them lip service. When they asks you to do something do you do as they ask. If you really loved them and wished to honor them, they would not have to ask, you would do it because it is what is in your heart. Jesus said. if some one ask thee to go a mile, go with him two miles.
