Question
yeah i have a question

If my parents who are Christian. think i should give up things I do at church.... should I listen to them...Ive prayed about it and I don't think I should. But its them who make the rules. I have no clue what to do.

Answer
When we are part of the TRUE faith we; "Obey God as ruler, rather than men" and would continue serving him (if we possibly can) regardless of what ANYONE says.God's "rules" come first, even before parents.

However on the other hand, if the church teaches things that are in conflict with the bible, and they tell you to do things that God doesnt, then we would be wise to not associate with them, as they do not have God's approval so you would be wasting your time and energy going anyway.

God wants us to find the TRUE faith, then stick to it like glue no matter what anyone says. So your priority right now is finding out if your church is approved by God,I will be happy to answer any questions on that subject.

all the best
