Why not talk to your dad about this instead of ballantly disobeying him?

Help him understand how you feel and hope you can come to a compromise.

In the event that he is unreasonable (no offence) you might be stuck with tbis for a while then

.Am Begining To Wonder Is Going Church A MUST For A CHRISTIAN?

petra1:


Hebrews 10:25 (KJV Strong's)
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

flamingREED:


When we say some of you were never Christians,
Some think we're illogical.

Acts 2
46 And they, CONTINUING DAILY WITH ONE ACCORD IN THE TEMPLE, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

Acts 20
7 And UPON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, WHEN THE DISCIPLES CAME TOGETHER to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

Hebrews 10
25 Not forsaking THE ASSEMBLING OF OURSELVES TOGETHER, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Repent from disobeying your dad.
It's sin.
It doesn't matter how your mum feels in this matter.

andyboi4real:

I Didn't Say I Am Not A Christian, I Love God So Much,all Am Saying Is Why Can't I Worship God In The Comfort Of My Room? Or Beta Still Why Can't I And My Brothers And Sisters In Christ Gather In The Comfort Of Our Homes?

andyboi4real:

Gathering Of Ourselves, Where? Is The Church The Only Place 4 Gathering.I Read The Book Of Act Of Apostles, And The Bible Neva Said The Appostles Met Together On Daily Or Weekly In A Church, But What It Does Says Is That The Church(i.e The People) Gathered Together From Time To Time.

You're not a Christian, my dear boy.

You don't obey the Bible.

Satan will soon give you clues on how to do otherwise.

BossLadyF:
I think the problem you're facing is your church. Why not try to join a department and see if you will love it but again, Maybe you ain't comfortable with your church. The best thing to do is look for a church that you're comfortable with but a spirit filled church. Personally, I was going to a church that my mum used to force us to attend and if my dance department doesn't minister that Sunday, I'll just be sleeping in church. The word wasn't getting to me and when I gained admission, all through my 100lvl I didn't go to church even on holiday, I started giving excuses then I told my parents that salvation is personal. I had to locate my own church and got engaged in a department and now I see fellowship as my lifestyle not a routine because David said "I was glad when THEY said, let US go into the house of the Lord.

Just read the scriptures the others have commented

We've shown you scriptures but you don't care about them.

ValentineMary:
It is because of people like this that I would rather remain atheist.

Genesis2000:


Yes, i liked your comment. Hmmm i believe that's exactly the problem. I don't think he is comfortable with his family church, we have had such experiences at one Time and the other.
Believe me there were no smoke without a fire. He should look for one church that his spirit accepted, and joined them. He will be good to go.
And besides some of the massages you hears today is nothing to write home about. I knows what am saying.

There is a church that boy will go today believe me he will not like to leave them.

Am also afraid he has already joined nairaland, he might end up becoming an atheist. Nobody actually knows why his father is making it mandatory for him, since he is also a member of this forum.



All these atheist you sees today have one time and the other goes to church before, being a member of one Christians family and the others, that why they were very good in quoting scriptures.
