Hello, I’m embarrassed and wanted to enquire about this thing that I’m facing: I still live with my parents and I’m over 18. I told my mom about my decision of becoming a Christian after being an atheist for many many years. She didn’t accept it and doesn’t want it to be true. She completely rejects my decision and she even told my dad even though I told her that I didn’t want my dad to know. Every time I went out or had to go somewhere, I visited church too to pray solitarily. So for example I went to the Gym and before I went, I visited church for a small time too. But I always only told my parents that I’m going to the Gym. I did this for a while and yesterday I just found out about it being a sin(?) Whenever I tell my mom that I want to go to church or get baptized, she freaks out and tells me no repeatedly.
I still want to go to church but I feel embarrassed now that I found out on the internet it’s a sin to not tell the complete truth. Is it really a sin to not tell the whole truth? I’m kinda stuck right now.. I feel bad. EDIT: Typo and I’m not trying to justify my sin. I don’t want to sin and I hate sinning. When I wrote embarrassed, I meant embarrassed because I sinned (not because of my beliefs). I will stand up for what I believe and I’m not ashamed of my faith. Thank you for the help.
Your relationship is with Jesus. They have no say in that. You can honor your parents by putting up boundaries, and this could be just not sharing everything about your walk with Jesus, and let your transformation speak for you.
