heyy everyone, im new to this site. But i need some advice. so i grew up catholic, thats how my dad wanted to raise me, my mom is (or used to be) christian, my older sister and her husband are christian now and my other older sister is catholic. I've been telling my sister (the one that's christian) that i dont have in interest in the church my dad goes to and she invited me to go with her to her church to see if i liked that one better, but i dont know if i should because when my dad found out that my sister switched churches he kinda got mad. im pretty much stuck in the middle here, my sister got me a bible and i've been reading that but i really wanted to ty he church out but i dont want my dad finding out! its just that i think about everything else when i'm in the church my dad goes to, i can never keep my attention on the mass. i don't know what to do, can anyone help?!?

be honest with yourself and with your loved ones. If you are feeling more in touch with the word of god, like the way the message is coming across to you that makes more sense, then attend the church that is making you feel this way. Another thing you could possibly do is ask you father to join you at this church for a few services. You never know, he may actually like it more as well or could hear something that wasn't preached at his church that his ears need to hear. I believe that god directs us to where he wants us to be and when we are called we should act on it.

Do you want to please God or man? Following God will get you to heaven. Following man will get you in trouble.

I agree totally with you loveschild. I have been in a similar situation before. I was raised in a Christian home and have been going to the same church with my parents even when i got married and started having kids. It took lots of prayers because ive been wanting to look for a church that could address my own family's spiritual needs, like sunday school, bible studies, prayer meetings and so on but somehow, i couldnt tell my mom (dad died along time ago) for i dont want her to feel hurt leaving her in the "old" church". After much prayer, God honored our desire for He knows our hearts motives. Mom didnt feel bad when we told her that we have found another congregation that caters to our spiritual needs.
God knows what's in your heart. He honors it when He knows He will be glorified in your life.
God bless you! Ill keep you in my prayers.

There's a reason it's called "mass". Because that's what it causes in confusion. The remedy to this problem is ask God. He might tell you to sit down and talk to your dad and discuss your situation. If he's a true believer then he'll understand. Tell him that it's not the building that gives community and fellowship it's the people. That is the church. The people not the building.

Be guided by God,

Ronny
