1 | Is it a sin? Am I disobeying Him? | Deut 5:16 | lil_girl_4_Christ | 47532 | ||
OK. I met this guy, he's 19, and, he'd been having major problems,and almost commit suicide, I prayed for him, and I came back and found out he didn't I'm so blessed for that but I'm 13 and dad said not to talk to "men" on here. See, I told my mom I was talking to someone in the military, he's 19 too I think, but she didn't know that. Anyway, I love God with all my heart, more than anything, and, I think that God has a purpose for me meeting this person, you'd know what I meant if I explained all that'd happened, and anyway, I feel like I'm close, like God wants me to bring this person to Christ. But, I don't want to do anything that would cause me to sin against Him, or my father. So, what should I do? Am I disobeying my parents? | ||||||

By communicating privately with anyone over the computer, you are disobeying your father. Posting notes to a forum such as this one is probably ok with him, unless you engage in extended dialogues with just one person or you start to get personal. You said his instructions were "not to talk to "men" on here". There are good reasons your father gave you these instructions and even if you don't understand them, you must live up to his trust by obeying him in this. Believe me, his reasons are sound and if you disobey, you are putting yourself in danger. Absolutely DO NOT ever meet anyone you communicate with over the computer. There are thousands of sick men on the internet who are looking to deceive you into becoming vulnerable to them so they can hurt you. They might even pose as someone who needs you to bring them to Christ. You have done your part for this 19 year old person, let the Holy Spirit do His will in him. As it is, your have no idea that this person has been truthful, right? But God knows and He accepts your prayers for that person, but He does not want you to disobey your father nor for you to meet with this person. I know this from years of experience in this world where I have seen evil work its ways by lies and deception. This is one of those situations. I encourage you to tell your parents about what is going on. |
