Why does my grown daughter refuse to take Christianity seriously I don't want her burning in the lake of fire?

[Anonymous]

I am an evangelical. I follow all the rules. I don't listen to anything secular. Except for Fox News. I don't shop for anything on Sunday.

We home schooled her and took her to the church school. Never let her wear pants shorts or bikinis. kept her away from all outside influences. never listened to everything but hymns.

She used to get saved every week. Go to purity balls. she rebelled and would sneak out and go trick or treating and listening to ungodly music and watch dirty cartoons. She had a bad eating disorder. She eventually ran away at 15. Moved in with her friend. She got a scholarship to a super liberal college and lives a very unholy lifestyle. they ruined her. She has conquered the eating disorder but has zero interest in God and has gone low contact with us. She lives in a RV. My wife and I have separated because of her behavior. she is into auras and horoscopes and has bright red hair and wears black revealing clothing. And won't even come for Thanksgiving.

She said my brand of Christianity is not something she's into. She said she hates all the emphasis on misery and suffering.

She feels I am very angry at her and the world ( I am not) and my version of God is an abusive boyfriend. And the constant fighting between us stressed her out. The left behind stuff gave her nightmares. I feel like I have been slapped. I don't want her destined to eternity of eternal damnation. How do I get her back to Christ?

You don't shop for anything on Sunday? What verse in the bible literally says that? Show it to me.

Most women out there, I just won't seriously look at, no one's perfect, but one must realize their ungodly theology like horoscopes and a slew of other things. There are too many bible verses to give

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.


Did Jesus constantly yell at people? It's laughable to think about it.

John 9:39-41

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

This tells me there are people that think they learned it all, but Jesus says here that if you think you did everything correctly, that if you know it all, then you might know nothing and not be with God.

What you do is pray... pray pray pray! And not just for your daughter and her mom, but for yourself. Today is Sunday, the 1st day of the work week as the bible says. It used to be a traditional belief to me that Sunday was the sabbath till I started to read the bible and realize that not buying or selling was reserved for the Sabbath day and not the 1st.

We have a similar problem with my older brother. He's in his seventies but is an atheist while most of the rest of us are biblical Christians. Whenever my dad tries to talk to him about Jesus, he immediately gets defensive. Jesus said not everyone is going to believe or have faith (paraphrase). If talking to them doesn't work, all we can do is pray that they'll change their minds. I believe the Rapture is very near. Maybe when millions of Christians disappear the unbelievers will wake up.

If you don’t allow her the freedom to think, she will take it herself and leave you behind.

Stop watching fox news and you might get into heaven. It only takes one bad apple.

[FunkyMonkee]

THAT'S a GREAT reason why!! There IS NO lake of fire!! There's no hell, no heaven, no god!! It's ALL man-made bullshit!!
Why is it that ONLY YOUR god is the REAL god but, if you go to the middle east, only ALLAH is the real god or, if you go to India, only their gods are the real gods? BECAUSE IT'S ALL MADE-UP BULLSHIT!! Each culture comes up with their own story line and abides by it!! So, if they're ALL RIGHT, whose god is the superior one? Since we don't ALL follow the same gods, why have none of the others punished the rest of us?
Animals don't go to church or have religion and they live perfectly happy lives!!

The style you wrote is satire style, but yeh you answered your own question... doing all that stuff was too extreme and was a turn off for her. So she "snuck out" as you said. If you are not satire... the answer is because people can choose to sin.

When I read the question, I thought of the girls living around me. Imposing something through pressure always backfires. Girls from very religious families are subjected to pressure; in fact, they do everything secretly behind their families' backs. Just explain the right path and let them find their own way. Those who choose religion through pressure often end up not loving religion and become atheists.

LOL, I can't even take you seriously, based on what you've written.

You are not only a hypocrite and loser, but nowhere near even the basic definition of a "Christian".

No wonder she's looking to do better than you.

[InknKink]

Women who come from very religious families are my favourite type. They're straight up wild. Always looking for a taste of sin.

because we don't live in a country where you force religion on people

This isn't iran

Sometimes it takes G0d to break through. There's time.

Good, another one freed of the oppressive shackles of religion

[Amy10223]

Are you serious, or are you a bot?

[Asker]

Yes. I worry about my daughter and this country which has backslidden. All the founding fathers were Christians. We used to be a Christian nation.

Drama story troll, is that you again?
