Will I be accepted into Heaven?

Question

Due to a disagreement between myself and my parents, my mother no longer speaks to me. She told me to stop calling and to move on with my life on my own. I know that the Bible states that we should love and honor our parents. I do, but they are the ones that have chosen to cut me out. Will I still be accepted into Heaven, even though we no longer talk? If I move away and lose touch with them forever, will God deny me acceptance into Heaven?

[I am a devout Christian, but am sitll learning the ways of the Lord.]

Answer 1

Darling you will so be in Heaven,It is your parents doing not yours, I am sorry for your pain,I hope
the rest of your life gets better.I will see you in Heaven.

Answer 2

First of all, the Bible doesn't say that someone will not get to heaven because someone else is mad at them. Honoring someone doesn't mean making them like you. It doesn't mean that you necessarily treated them perfectly all your life. The word "honor" is present tense. It means what you are doing NOW.

If someone doesn't want contact, then honoring them means refraining from such contact. The Bible also says that it is more important to love Jesus than your parents. Christianity has been known to tear families apart, even in Biblical times.

As far as heaven, I'm no longer a Christian, so I don't believe in heaven. Acording to the Bible though, heaven ins't contingent upon your parents liking you.

If you have done something horrible to them; if you've been involved in drugs and such, solen from them, and that sort of thing, perhaps they don't believe your conversion. Perhaps they are waiting to see if you've really changed.

I don't know the deal here, but families don't usually disown their children without cause. You are responsible for keeping your side of the street clean. If your family wishes to reunite, it's then your choice to accept or not. If you keep forcing yourself on them, you're just digging a bigger ditch between you.

Answer 3

Don't worry, a disagreement has no power to weld the gate of heaven closed to anyone. Now if a parent is abusive, a child can forgive, and move out and on and still love, even if there is no longer any contact. Everyone's path to God is a little different.

Answer 4

Of coarse.
Then what about the kids that were abused or was trashed some where by their own parents as a baby(how could they respect, love, and honor their parents)? They're not going to heaven? If that's the case then God is very cruel. That means he wouldn't even forgive innocent child that can't even fight back on it's own.

Christians would have to take back the opinions about God of being forgiving.

Answer 5

I think if you really think how god is just, you should bring this into your life. Look at everything just fully. Understand why your parents are doing what they do. Also look deep at yourself, is there reason you could be feeding this negative situation. LAst I would say when you have a group of people in great disagreement, someone MUST bring the higher standard.

I would like to share an experience I am seeing in my life, maybe you can relate. My brother is divorced and has child. My brother owes child support and stops him from seeing his child(he could see him no matter what) but his burden stops him. My father will not see my brother's child in fear of my brother's feelings, my mom will not see the child because the mother of the child doesn't want her talking about her father, since she should not speak for him. I called them all foolish idiots, my mom,dad,brother and mother of child. Someone MUST rise up over these stupid little things. We are talking about a child and bonding not adult disagreements.

I hoe there is some light in that darkness you can see.

Answer 6

The disagreement? Jesus said you must love your neighbor as yourself, your closest neighbor is your family and this was the second greatest commandment. Mathew 22:38,39. Its hard to put yourself into the other persons shoes? You may not always agree with your parents and they may not always be right, But they have lived longer and do have more experience. They can still be wrong? I do find that for a parent to cut someone out they must feel that it is serious? You need to talk to some one older but not attached to them or you. Some one you trust.
The first woman on earth was tempted and the devil told her if she ate of the fruit of God's tree she would be like God knowing good from bad. To be like god is almost like being in heaven. according to the Devil.
The Bible never says that all people that profess to be Christian go to heaven in fact Jesus said when praying to pray that God's kingdom rule would come and rule over the earth.
Mathew 6:10 see also Mathew 5:5 Psalms 37;9-11, 29 Revelation 21:3,4 When a person sets their mind or puts on blinders like the farmers put on unruley horses to make a straight row in their crops, it is possible to miss the point? The same applies to mental attitudes: If you look at a problem with blinders on, you might miss the point? I recommend that you Study the word and see if its possible to overcome the problem.
(Matthew 5:22-24) 22 However, I say to YOU that everyone who continues wrathful with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice; but whoever addresses his brother with an unspeakable word of contempt will be accountable to the Supreme Court; whereas whoever says, ‘You despicable fool!’ will be liable to the fiery Ge·hen´na. 23 “If, then, you are bringing your gift to the altar and you there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar, and go away; first make your peace with your brother, and then, when you have come back, offer up your gift.. . .

My advice is get a pencil and pad and write down all the things you think you are right about? then compare them with Galatians 5:19-25

Answer 7

I do not know how some parents could afford to cut off any communications with their child or children. I also do not know know the gravity of your disagreement to make them decide to cut you off. However, I hope the love and respect due to them is still there in your heart and every now and then though it may hurt, try making an effort to show them that.
Do not worry about heaven as a place to be when you die but try working out to make the space between you and your parents as a heaven to see each other. Yes, move on with your life. Do whatever you think is the right way to please the Lord and one of them is being humble enough to accept your mistakes to your parents and express your sorrow about it and your sincere promise to be more careful. If they still prefer to keep you out of their lives no matter how great the efforts you made, then it should no longer be you who should be worried about being accepted in the place. Being devout includes practice of total humility.

Answer 8

Try one last time to talk to your parents. But your mother appears to be the one who is pushing you away in this. If you do love them, but have no way to show that love, God will understand. He will certainly not keep you out of Heaven for something like this that you can't control.

What is the disagreement about, and how does that affect things? Just think about that, you don't need to acutally tell. Is your mother over reacting?

If you have sincerely tried to make peace with them but have still gotten pushed away, you are no longer at fault.

Answer 9

If you continue to live according to the teachings you have been given, then the offense is on their side, not yours. Continue to show that you care; call them, send them cards, write them letters, send small gifts, help them with their yard, etc. If they can't get over the disagreement and see that you still love them, then shame on them. The Lord taught us to forgive as well as not to give offense in the first place. The only other thing you can do to assure that you have covered all the bases is to ask for their forgiveness for any offense they may have taken on account of the disagreement. You don't necessarily need to change your opinion but just to say that you are sorry if you offended them in any way. You didn't mean to hurt them, but merely to express how you felt about the subject being discussed. Then the ball is squarely in their court to make the next play, which is to forgive you and repent of their own pride and stubborness and ask you to forgive them as well. When they do that, you will frankly forgive them and the wound should be healed.
Best wishes.

Answer 11

You make it sound like neither of you did anything to cause the family riff. I'm not interesting in what you might have done to cause it all, but I am sure that is the real problem. It is very sad that you can not come to some understanding and mend some fences. You're problem now should not be weather you are going to heaven. but weather or not you are going to get back into the good graces of your mother. It is a sad situation indeed and without any facts no one can advise you as to what route to follow. I can only say God Bless and good luck. BB
