Should Every Child Start In Church For Foundation?

Race Jones said:
I never remember being encouraged in church.

I remember being shamed and berated because I liked girls.

I remember me asking questions and being scolded and told to "Shut up and stay in child's place"

I remember older church male members talking about my breast.

I remember people praising the pastor more than the "God" they sought.

I remember the back-biting.

I remember being treated like shit by some of my family members as they sat in church pretending they were better and holier than thou.

I remember my sister being raped and someone asking her at church what did she do to cause it.

I remember being diagnosed with anxiety and depression and being told to pray about it, "the devil is in you"

I remember church being dehumanizing and disruptive to my overall mental and emotional health.

That's what I remember.

Im sorry that was your expierence...but just know every church isnt like that Race. That "church" you attended were full of religious ppl. And when I say religious I mean that they are mor concerened about ritual and appearance rather than relationship and community...


If you are familiar with The Gospels, Christ encountered the same types of people during his ministry...

All that to say its not an indictment on the church rather it confirms the brokenness and sinfulness of man and our need for a savior.


But to answer the question, yes my kid goes to church with me.

Know what bruh...on some real shit, ima keep it a buck.

I have genetic flaws passed on from my parents that impair the depth of my emotions. Along with that, and I think because of that. I have an inherent ability to, ion know what u call it. Lets just say it's a level of clairvoyance.

That combined with the environment and circumstances I've grew up in. And it has the ability to create a very bad person. Through the act of God, he put me in a place that I thought was a mental prison. But actually was a place that conditioned me with a conscience.

Not only that, until I came to a basic understanding of what most of all this is, I've had countless strokes of "luck" in instances that I see now could have really been bad for me.

So with the understanding of all that, I know that I am special, I know that he has a purpose for me. I know that there is a god. I have to much evidence personally to not know there are reasons based on a plan.

That being said, what I saw in the three times I've been to church was not god. I've never felt more evil in a place in my life.

we just got hit with something. idk if trolling or summin ted-talk worthy.
 
So. I dont go to church anymore and observe the Sabbath at home on most Saturday's. I'm definitely not the perfect example of an Israelite, and i admit it. But im working on it. That being said, I'm pretty lax on my son at the moment because if i tried to break everything down to him now, he'd be more confused that anything. But we read the bible together a lot and I've been trying to reach him hebrew letters little things.

One thing I have "pushed" on him is prayer tho. I have told him that he may decide that this path isn't for him, and he can change at any time. But while he is under my roof, as a provider and protector, my job is to equip him with the knowledge to survive on his own as an adult. And IMO, a personal realtionship with The Most High is the most important thing you will need. So I've always made sure he has prayed before meals and at night.

I'll never forget probably like 2 years ago when he was 6. He woke me up on night bevause he had a bad dream and was scared. I told him everything was ok and then we prayed together for peace of mind and protection from malevolent spirits and what not. He was cool after that. So fast forward a month or two...we are getting ready for school/work in the morning. He just randomly says, "Dad, i really don't have bad dreams anymore." So im like thats cool, but where did that come from? And he says " i dont know, but i always pray when im scared of anything and i feel better. But i haven't had any more bad dreams."

I think that was my confirmation that im doing something right.

Speaking of the Sabbath, if Sunday is the day of rest why does Christian chirch have service on Sunday? Saturday should be the day of service instead of Sunday

Tradition. That's the only good answer I can offer. Apostolic and seventh day Adventist observe it though

If god is within you why is the sabbath only 1 day? And everyone seems to have a different day of sabbath.
 
one of my good friends is a 7th day adventist

well, only the parts that suit him lol

he used to have us dying back in college when he decided what parts of the faith he would participate in. And frfr, i had never heard of that faith until i met him
