| Baalzamon said: Copied from a website I found: First, the Bible teaches that people should not judge. This is often a difficult guideline for people to follow. Judging people is commonplace, and people often forget it is against the teachings in the Bible. Because of that, people judge for a variety of reasons. Most often, they judge people for being different. However, the Bible cautions against this kind of behavior. The Bible also says to accept everyone. It is not the job of humans to decide who is right and who is wrong. Instead, people are supposed to be accepting. They are supposed to live their own life the way it is supposed to be lived and accept the decisions others make fully and completely. When people are able to live their lives without judgment and with acceptance, they are then able to love. Love is what the Bible is about, but that sometimes gets lost. When someone truly follows the Bible, they love everyone without stipulations. They do not put conditions on their love. They do not make people share their ideals in order to love them. Instead they love everyone, just as Jesus did in the Bible. They do not try to change them. They simply love them for who they are. ---------- If they are truly religious people (which with what you have said, they seem to act in a way where they believe they are religious), then while they may get upset at you for a while, they will not let it carry forward and continue to judge you based on this, that would be God's job, not theirs. I truly do think that you should tell them, because hiding something like this from your parents for your whole life (if you can't tell them now, you will have just as much or more trouble telling them later) just isn't right. |
What you're saying is nice and all, but let's be honest, most Christians don't act like that. You have to be very open-minded to be able to think like that, and my parents just aren't like that. I may end up never telling them, but when I'll no longer be living with them and I'll be fully independent, it will be easier to fess up, because I'll no longer be sharing a house with them and will be able to get away from their bad attitude.
