Licenses and Lying

[Twistii]

Explain to your parents what you believe about what they are asking you to do ... that it is not something you want to do for them.

God works on our hearts when we are doing something (or thinking about doing something) we shouldn't be doing. If we ignore God's proddings and do whatever we want anyway, that is not a good way for us to live our lives. And sometimes when God works on our hearts and we do as He guides us, we end up irritating other people who think we should do what they want us to do. At that point, we need to stick with God.

Well, I think I’ve already tried this with my mother and I believe her defense is that everyone else does it so it’s okay for us to do it.

I believe my father currently has a large grudge against me.

I know Jesus came to bring a “sword,” but this just seems like such a trivial matter for me to cause so much disruption within my family…

Also I think my Dad threw away those course books, so assuming I want to translate course material, we’d have to buy some stuff it seems.

Jesus came to bring peace between us and God. Does peace with your family mean more to you than peace with God? Keep peace with God and let God work to help you through whatever "large grudge" your family may have as a result of you keeping your relationship with God intact.

The peace Jesus came to bring us is not equal to "no conflict" in this lifetime. The peace is a peace that passes understanding.

Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Not we ... if your father threw the stuff out, your father needs to buy some stuff. Let him pay for his foolishness.

Look, I know a little of what you're going through. I went through it myself with my family when I turned to the Lord. My sisters all thought I was on some sort of "fad" that wouldn't last. Back then we were called Jesus freaks. My mom told me I was welcome at the house but I couldn't talk about that "God stuff" if I came over. I told her "look Mom, I won't bring it up, but if I need to say something I'm going to say it". And something did come up every time I went over there. A couple of my sisters turned to the Lord ... one is faithful, the other is somewhat ... the other two did not turn to the Lord and the one who has since passed away lived a miserable life, and the one remaining is miserable as well.

I’m sorry to hear that…

Regarding the buying, when I said “we,” I didn’t rlly mean that we’d be pulling money together necessarily.

Thank you for responding though, I appreciate you taking the time to do so.

Sorry to bother you, but my Dad’s current plan of action is to have a cousin of mine (who is a native speaker of English) go through the license renewal process for my parents.

I have a sticky note attached to my laptop with the password on it. If I take away the sticky note, it’ll probably delay them.
I decided earlier on to write down for my Dad my laptop password on said sticky note, which might’ve been a bad idea.

Essentially, my concern is if I’d be sinning by not taking away the sticky note (because I guess I’d be contributing to sin by having the sticky note be there) or if I’d be sinning by taking away the sticky note because there’s a chance it’d be a very not nice move.

@reneweddaybyday hmm but then again, my Dad bought the laptop with his money, not my money, so maybe he had the right to know my password to use the laptop for this purpose.

Your dad is going to do what your dad is going to do whether he uses your laptop or not. Although on a laptop, can't your date be set up as a separate user? He doesn't have to log in as you ... he could have his own log in?
