Zone1 Gen Z Going "No Contact" With Parents. Patently Unbiblical.

[SweetSue92]

Accepting Darwinian evolution by the Catholic church is considered by 'faith'ful Christians as 'overkill'.

The faithful aren't ambiguous on their belief on Adam and Eve!

The point I'm making is, Millennials find religion much easier to accept from their parents if the Adam and Eve story is rejected and thrown out. Have you found it to be not possible to accept 'evolution'?

That could explain why this is an issue for you.

Actually the youth are going back to church.

Why is Gen Z more religious than previous generations?

The number of Americans not associated with any church has stagnated thanks to members of Gen Z, also known as Zoomers.

Well you're not Christian so I guess do what you want

I am a whiskeypalian.

Jesus even if a person wrongs you seven times in a day, if they repent you must forgive them. If they do not repent you must rebuke them.

 

[SweetSue92]

To conclude here and in respect for SweetSue's topic.

Millennials are mostly of the attitude that their parents' inability to decide between evolution and creation, is not fulfilling their responsibilities to provide guidance.l

Why is this so difficult? Do parents still contend that they can claim both?

Cite where this is why adult children are rejecting parents. Seriously: evolution?

Cite the verse following the "seven times" (not in a day), where it says you must rebuke them

By the way, the Ten Commandments say HONOR. They don't say forgive. Not the same.

Well the Catholic Church is not very Biblical, so there's that. Why would a Christian "throw out" Genesis?

The Catholic church is the largest of the lot and so need to be considered.

For them, Genesis must be discarded as being a direct contradiction of their fairly recent acceptance of Darwin's evolution.l

You too can be the first Christian on this board to come out of the closet and make a choice. It will take faith!

It's clearly a sin to not choose between evolution and creation.

At least Catholics can 'confess' it away on Sunday, but it comes back to haunt for six days of the week.

I've cited my opinion that Christians are living in their closets by failing to choose creation over evolution.

And I've suggested that it's mainly due to the millennial generation being freed from childhood indoctrination into the lies. I can't cite my own beliefs more clearly than that!

Which do you believe? You'fe just proving that your faith isn't strong enough to allow you to say!

Their children just can't honour that which they consider to be lies told to them by liars.

Not to suggest that it's the children or the parents who are wrong?

That's going to take a lot of work with Christians who trust in their faith.

Matthew 18.22 and I glitched it, its at least seven times seventy.

The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant​

21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

22&nbsp;Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[<a href="Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 18 - New International Version" title="See footnote g">g</a>]

Also I am not seeing how a child no longer having contact with a bad relative is un Christian. You can still honor them but not contact them. When people went to the new world, were they being unChristian because they did not have contact with their parents? I just don't see how they are related.

You're just restating your own opinion on the matter. Okay

It is unchristian, per the Bible, to tell your parents that you're going "no contact" and then have absolutely nothing to do with them. You're not honoring them in any way if you do that.

The Bible follows up that command in Exodus 20:12 with, "So you may live long in the land the Lord God is giving you". Reconciliation and peace is healthy. Holding grudges is not.

Also, I already cited that limiting contact if parents were TRULY abusive is not dishonoring.

Again, were all the immigrants who had to leave their parents, or soldier who had to leave for years - were they unChristian? It seems like a really strange argument.

Also I imagine if you are being ghosted by your kids odds are its unhealthy for the kids to maintain a relationship, and thus sinning against themselves to do so.

I see this all over social media: adult children going "no contact" with parents.

This might seem like a good idea, especially if the parent(s) were blatantly abusive. The problem is, if you're a Christian, going "no contact" is unbiblical. In fact, "Honor thy father and mother" is in the 10 commandments. (Exodus 10:12). There is not an asterisk that says "Unless they were jerks, than forget it".

To be clear, I don't think "honor" means parents are entitled to unrestricted access to your life. It doesn't mean you continue to allow them to abuse you, your spouse, and your children. But I can think of almost no case where a Christian would go "no contact" with a parent.

(Because this place is what it is: yes, I have two adult children, and no, neither one has gone low or no contact with us. We are close with both of them, in fact.)

When Adult Children Go "Low Contact" or "No Contact" with Their Parents: A Guide to Understanding and Coping

Let’s get real: Family relationships can be some of the most rewarding, but also some of the most challenging. Therapists recently have reported seeing an increasing number of adult children choosing to go "low contact" or "no contact" with their parents. These decisions aren’t made lightly, but...

Being far away from parents is not like going "no contact". You're not doing it because you want to cut all ties with them.

It's unchristian to think about things like "unhealthy" when the Bible says honor. The Bible does not say "Honor unless it hurts your feelings, then forget it"

Entirely true. The Bible does not say be besties or even like them. Just honor them. That means not completely (and cruelly) cutting them out of your life

So it seems that Millennials are less like to accept the absolutes of Biblical authority but throw caution to the wind in accepting the absolutes of the THEORY of Evolution. Thankfully GenZ is a bit more accepting of biblical authority. I guess it is the swing of that pendulum 'they' reference.

Millennials and the Bible: 'Not what you think'

On the whole, Millennials tend to be skeptical of absolutes, and anyone or anything claiming to be the authority on life and the world Thus, they tend to be skeptical about the Bible

It seems to my, my opinion, that blm and antifa and prohamas groups are comprised of a lot of millenials.

I can tell you that I do not want my daughter contacting me because she shows me no honor.

please explain the relationship with communicating with them and honoring them. Where is that in the Bible?

 

[SweetSue92]

That's too bad, and that's on her to at least attempt to build bridges. That's what the Bible says.
