We have young children, but do not have them in either religious upbringing really. My wife and I would like to find some common ground that allows us to follow G-d as a family. . She is willing to attend the Noahide class with me, if I will attend church with her. The plan being that we would see if one of us &#171;converts&#187; so to speak to the other&#8217;s beliefs. If not, we could go back to the way things have been in our marriage so far. I am not worried that I will be changed to a Christian, and I think there is a good chance that she will find the Noahide faith as something she can believe in. With all that being said, I don&#8217;t want to break one of the 7 commandments either. Would it be acceptable fo me to agree to this for a short timeframe? (3-6 months perhaps.) I want to be faithful to G-d while also having harmony at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A: You can attend Christian classes. You can go to church, but you cannot&nbsp;worship Jesus by prayer, prostrating or eating the bread distributed there.
