Bible Question (short): Maybe I should explain further... |
Question (full): 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? |
