No, that kid will learn how the Church treated her mother. She will probably become Wicca or join some other religion because the Christians attacked the mother that she loves.

Way to go, you just taught this child a very valuable lesson!

I am sorry and apologize to my fellow Freepers. This is a very sensitive issue with me. Because of something simular as I was growing up, I did change my religion to Wicca.

My two daughters are very Christian and I drill them constantly to teach them those lessons. But for me, the Church drove me away and I simply can not be a part of that culture.

That is a personal burden, but one that I must with.

Please be very carefull with children. You may be teaching them the wrong lessons, in your efforts to help.

Are you really saying that you teach your kids about Christianity even though you are Wiccan and don't want anything to do with Chrisitianity?

I may have been born at night but I wasn't born last night.

There are lots of small local groups of people and if they follow Him they perform as the Church. There may also be quite a few organizations which label themselves 'church' where simply a breeding ground for social dynamics arises.

There is always Scripture, the Bible, the Word of God, which remains true. Rather than seeking comfort from a particlar social dynamic or even some who give claim to religion, Scripture provides a consistent guide to the truth.

After reviewing Scripture, then apply to a particular group of people and discern wherein they fit.

Perhaps your church is different than the past organization and maybe a reason exists for being 'driven away', but I'd place importance upon remaining obedient to Scripture and returning to the body of Christ, i.e. a group of believers somewhere.

Besides the salvational issue will always be between God and yourself and nobody else, although others may tempt you to avoid that relationship without even beginning to venture upon more mature aspects of followon blessings.
