Hi Everyone,
First of all, I hope and ask God that all of you are well specially all the ones who are administering this site. God bless you and your families for all your selfless work in the Lord.
Before I came to know God's truths I served as a lay minister on a church for 10 years or so. Also, mine and my wife's immediate family members are all "christians". Even more, my father-in-law is a pastor and leads another "christian" church. Lately, he became aware that my wife and I are no longer attending church. I must say he is quite argumentative when it comes to things about God, the bible and the christian faith and he was kind of angered by our sudden decision. Now, he suggests that we start attending the church he leads and promises not to mislead us (he's mislead himself). As the man of my own family (my wife and i have a 4 month old baby), I wanted us all to honestly and openly obey God's word so after sharing to my wife "we came out of christendom". I also had a chance to share to our family although not every one of them believed. I'm aware that my father-in-law will want to have a discussion (or debate) on this and I welcome it as much as I know the truth. But I love all my family and as much as I dont want to create a rift between him and myself or my family, I'm not sure if this can be helped. My wife and I don't want to attend his church or any church(part of christendom).
If you have any word of advice, please feel free. Pls. include us in your prayers. Thank you.
