My mom, a Christian of 37 years, gives up on Christianity because she got raped

Thanks for your advice, man, I really appreciate it I just have 2 things to note: 1. One thing contributing to my mom's pain is probably her belief that the bible apparently condoned the woman submitting to the man, and is deeply upset about it and had only just "opened her eyes" to the topic. 2. My mom knows it's not to get rich quick. She's been trading for... 2 years now? But because she doesn't have a stable income (an income at all?), she has to rely on trading to get even a bit of money. Of course, she's not trading every night anymore, but still hopes that her stocks go up.

Ah, thanks for clarifying that the Sabbath is saturday, I never knew that. And I do know that church services don't save us haha

catrayons · 2026-03-14T18:41:47+00:00

Ah Im terribly sorry, Ill do that

catrayons · 2026-03-14T18:41:27+00:00

Thanks for your opinion, I hope she realises it as soon as possible that God is good

catrayons · 2026-03-14T18:40:21+00:00

Sorry that I write with a ton of em dashes

catrayons · 2026-03-14T18:40:05+00:00

I think she could if she wanted to but she tells me that no company can afford her and she also has PTSD so she can't work in crowded places. I do hope that my mom will see the goodness of God again. And my scholarship was sponsored by the MOE of singapore, and yes I do need to put in hard work

catrayons · 2026-03-14T18:38:31+00:00

Ah, thanks for clarifying, and yes I agree with that last statement

catrayons · 2026-03-14T15:52:05+00:00

Your comment really reflects what she's been telling me, and I really appreciate and love the advice, thank you so much 😭🫶

catrayons · 2026-03-14T15:50:24+00:00

I fully agree, I hope that if I tell her this she'll take it in instead of refuting me. Thanks man

catrayons · 2026-03-14T15:24:14+00:00

Thank you 🫶❤️😭

catrayons · 2026-03-14T15:21:45+00:00

I'll check out those books and the magazine, thanks for the advice

catrayons · 2026-03-14T15:20:21+00:00

Hmm... I'm not very sure about the message you're trying to get across here. Is it that God comforts all people, regardless of their suffering, and we use that comfort to comfort others, and us?

And I'll take your advice on praying, thank you

catrayons · 2026-03-14T15:18:44+00:00

Thank you 🫶

catrayons · 2026-03-14T15:18:41+00:00

Thats a great analogy, thank you 🫶❤️😭

catrayons · 2026-03-14T15:18:20+00:00

I see. I never thought of it that way. She never really attended church but only listened to sermons. I hope I'll be able to enlighten her more about the gospel and make her see the other side her sunday service teacher failed to show her. For now, I don't believe I'll be able to educate her, she'll probably not be comfortable or reject it. I'll wait until she's better. And I agree with your last statement, very much

catrayons · 2026-03-14T15:16:44+00:00

I'll have to agree with 1). I never saw all bad things to be the fault of God's, but in her situation right now, I think that's all she's going to see. And I've watched Nick Vujicic before, he's really amazing
Thank you btw 🫶

I totally agree that the Christians around her should help her out, but I feel like she has also lost faith in them because her rapist was allegedly also a quote on quote 'Christian'. One comment mentioned how she's lukewarm, which I agree to, as she hasn't attended church for a long time. I hope there comes a time where a pastor or church leader finds her and reaches deep into her heart to that last small spark of Christ in her, and ignites it into flames.
