A problem

[anime4christ]

My dad told me to do something well, stupid, and he doesn't want my mom to know about it. If I don't listen to him, I'll get him mad, if I do my mom will get mad when she finds out (she will eventually). I hate getting set up like that. What do you think I should do?

Should I post the details (don't really want to ATM)?

[IM4given]

Did your dad ask you to do something illegal or immoral or Unchristian?

[Larry02]

If it is not God's will, then abstain. Will be praying...

What does the Scriptures say? The Scriptures say that the father is the head of the family, not the mother. If your father has told you to do that, then as long as that is not a sin, then you should obey him.

Pray about this before making a decision.

Well, it has something to do with his cancer and what kinds of food can make it worse.

I think you should honor your father providing it does not violate any Scriptural principles. If you feel very strongly about it, perhaps you should pray about it and make an appeal.

[4meHeDied]

You should obey your father, however, talk to him, tell him you're going to obey him because that's what Gods Word commands us to do but explain to him that you don't like being put in the middle because your mom will get mad at you.



Pray for discernment. :pray

Well, he kept insisting, so I did what he asked.

Thanks for the advice.

[Psalms18_28]

my mom had cancer and wanted sweets all the time. Everyone in the family kept advising against it because they think it feeds cancer. But We did the no sugar diet for long time, and It made no changes whatsoever and the cancer still kept growing. So I gave up on forbiding sugar from her.

Yeah I think adults have the choice whether to eat right or not so.... you really can't force another adult to make healthy choices if they do not want to.

[anime4christ]

Thing is, it only takes a few hours for the effect to be evident; he's sitting on his hospital bed groaning now. :roll

[Anon]

But its his fault, not yours.

[lettheredeemedsayso]

In that case, I definitely think that you should do as your father asks.

[anime4christ]

K, thankies guys. ^_^

Dear Friend,
Perhaps I am late in answering, but let me through out my :2cents worth. I have a bad arthritis condition. When I abstain from favorites, i.e., coffee, donuts, etc., I feel much better, :lol but when I don't my condition flairs up. :sad So, since my body is the temple of God and I know better, it is not good for me to do these things. So, if your Dad wants you to go down and buy him something that is bad for his health, and his body is the property of Jesus Christ via redemption, then it is your responsibility to not facilitate his violating scripture by eating things that will be bad for him. Tell him, "Dad, I love you and there are not many things I wouldn't do for you, unfortunately this is one of them. I love you and I am praying for you." and leave him to deal with it with Christ.

Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
