Bible Question: Ok, I re-read it, and I know what it sounds like, and I agree with you, but, I still disagree, I do not see how I am disobeying my parents, I would call a pastor, but, I don't want to, and I know what that sounds like too, I'll wait and see what I think God is telling me. Thanks sooo much:) God bless you:-) |
Bible Answer: No, there is not ALWAYS a way. With God all things are possible, but you must accept that sometimes His answer is NO. If you don't accept His answer, you are going nowhere, ON YOUR OWN. You cannot agree and disagree at the same time. You are not being honest when you say you don't understand how you are disobedient to your parents. Not only that, you are disrespectful to the owners of this webpage who clearly require that you be 18 years old in order to be granted the PRIVILEGE of posting to this forum. Basically, you have STOLEN this privilege and broken trust with them. As Jesus said, give to Cesar what belongs to Cesar and give to God what belongs to God. In this case, you need to give the webmasters their due respect by obeying their "term thingys" and give to God your obedience to his command that you honor your parents. If you disobey your parents, you are dishonoring them and God. You don't want to call a pastor because you don't want to be accountable to anyone for your decisions, which you know are selfish and unwise. This is the kind of pride that leads to the notion that YOU are in charge. Don't wait to see what you THINK God is telling you, read the Bible and KNOW what God is telling you. But knowing is not enough. You must have faith and that faith will bear fruit. Jesus explains it quite simply: "if you love me, you will obey my commandments". If you don't like these terms, that's too bad. No one ever said being a Christian was easy. Finally, don't do it. You know what I'm talking about. Just don't. You're wrong. Let it go and don't pick it up again. |
