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? | ||||||
2 | Is it a sin? Am I disobeying Him? | Deut 5:16 | D.D.1961 | 47551 | ||
I suggest that you listen to your father. Even though this is supposed to be a Christian website, it doesn't mean that weirdos or perverts might use this site as well. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. He is much older than you and may be looking for a young girl to feel sorry for him and want to meet you. Whatever you do, DO NOT meet with him. Many people have had some serious problems with people on the internet. Don't take this the wrong way, but when most people ask for advice, they usually ask a close friend around the same age or someone older. I doubt that a 19 year old boy would be asking a 13 year old girl for help. I think he is up to something. Again, I'm not trying to sound mean or rude, I just think you may end up in something you really don't want to be in. Good luck! | ||||||
3 | Maybe I should explain further... | Deut 5:16 | lil_girl_4_Christ | 47666 | ||
Listen, I want to know HOW I'm disobeying my father. And, maybe I should've explained further. See, he didn't come to me for advise, me, knowing that God wants us to help others, I gave it to him myself. Actually he'd get mad sometimes. I didn't meet him on this site either. I know the risks of meeting people from the internet, and I know God would not want me to be ignorant. I want to see if I'm really disobeying my parents. And, I'm trying to bring this person to Christ, and I'm praying about it, and God is answering, I see it, I know I'm only 13 but please believe me when I say it. I feel I am bringing him to Someone better than he obeyed before, and I see him changing. I've prayed about this. God's Word said there is a way which seemeth right unto a man: but the end thereof are the ways of death. I am aware of this. But, I'm wondering if it applies to me and if I'm disobeying my father. I love God, and I know what happens when you don't fear Him, and I don't want to experience that, so there is no way that I would do something to jeapordise my relationship with him for a boy. I just want to know if that's what I'm doing, if I'm disobeying Him. And, the Bible also said, Commit thy works unto the Lord and thy thoughts shall be established. I want to bring him to Christ, and I'm trying and praying for it, and I see progress, if you'd known what all had happen, i think you'd see. So I'm trying to be a laborer you know, catch the "fish"? I just hope I'm not sinning in the progress. What do you all think? | ||||||
4 | Maybe I should explain further... | Deut 5:16 | Parable | 47668 | ||
Think about it. The fact you have this question in your heart shows that something is not right. Trust that small voice inside you that tells you to LISTEN to your father. You don't need anyone to tell you how you are disobeying, you already know it but you want someone else to prove it to you. That voice you hear is the Holy Spirit trying to get your attention. That other voice, the one trying to get to disobey, is one you must not listen to. And yes, the scripture applies to you. You said "I want to bring him to Christ". Don't be fooled. The only one who can bring your friend to Christ is the Holy Spirit, not you. This is a dangerous time for you because you may fall into the sin of thinking you are able to do only what God can do. That was Adam and Eve's problem in the garden and all of us must remember that no matter how strong our faith or calling, WE are nothing. Give it to God, trust that His Will be done and honor your father with obedience to not just his words, but also his intention. |

5 | Is it just I don't wantto know the truth | Deut 5:16 | lil_girl_4_Christ | 47684 | ||
It hurts so bad... ok. maybe I'll give him up and everything(if it's wrong), maybe I just i dont know, i'm sorry, i feel so confused and im crying cuz it feels bad and I dont wanna sin and i guess i am but i love God so much, i was trying to help and then it just got personal and all and listen to my father how? what did he tell me? is a 19 year old a man? i've given out my address over the internet and they know it, they see letters from friends and all, i guess they thought the military guy was like a grown man , cuz i was talking to him about my brother who was in the military too, and he's like in his 30's , so they could've thought that and all. I would tell them everything. But I don't think they'd understand...they don't understand the way I love God and it's like, they aren't Christian, so, we don't have that sort of Christ-like bond. If I told them I was witnessing to someone and trying to show them what Jesus wants us to do and the way to live, most likely they wouldn't relate to it because they aren't that type. I would love so much to have Christian parents and I will soon, because I'm praying about getting into a church and my mother and father getting saved, but everything will be in God's time. That's why I come on here. To see what you all think, but, it's so confusing...and i just start crying and go to my room and talk to God about it some more and then i think about how i could just be babbling on and on and on and still be wrong, which you all seem to think i am which just makes me feel worse, but i am thankful that you do care, thank you so much God bless you, it's only a matter of time, i know God isn't a God of confusion and i know Satan is very well enjoying watching me go through this and seeing how far he can push me, i just hope not too far. i would say he won't, but im still sort of confused about whether he has or not, actually i think i have sinned, but i dont really know when, and how, it's all so confusing will you please help me somebody???please??? Thankyou so much. i just wanna be with God:(( i want Him to like what i do, not want me to stop, i was just trying to help...:(( well, later people. Thankyou, i dont wanna sin anymore, but what if you don't even know if you are?? ok im doing it again, sorry, God bless you all abundantly and may you find peace and joy in Christ our Lord. |

6 | Is it just I don't wantto know the truth | Deut 5:16 | Morant61 | 47687 | ||
Greetings Lilgirl4Christ! I think that you have received some excellent answers to your question, but allow me to respond from the perspective of a father who has been through a similar experience with his daughter. Trust your father's instincts and obey his commands in this matter. My daughter was the victim of older men who preyed on her. She has totally ruined her life. She got invovled with an older man. She has been drawn into every sin that you can name. Her very life is not at risk. Your father has been placed in your life for a reason. He is there to protect and guide you. You may not agree with or understand why he has placed these restrictions upon you, but he has done so to protect you. I understand that you want to help this other person, but your first priority as a 13 year old is to obey your father. If you have a local church, I would suggest that you talk to your pastor about this issue. We're all praying for you! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

7 | Is it just I don't wantto know the truth | Deut 5:16 | Annaciah | 47697 | ||
Hey lil girl, I'm with your brother in Christ on this one. No doubt that's who sent him! Know that without question God is more capable than anyone to take care of your friend in need. He is also most capable of taking care of you. One way in which he does that is by his commandments. He has asked you to honor your father. Do this and trust God to take care of your friend. Take this from a girl that regrets not having that guidance when she was 13 and now so many years later has to deal with the consequences of her actions. Thank God that you have been blessed by Him with a father to guide you! You grab hold of God and your father and don't look back..and spare yourself alot of unnecessary pain! |
