Answer 1

Obedience to your parents protects your “life now,” but obedience will also make it possible for you to enjoy the life “which is to come,” called “the real life.” (1 Timothy 4:8; 6:19) For most of us, the real life is endless life on earth in God’s new world, which he promises to those who faithfully adhere to his commandments. A chief one of these commandments says: “‘Honor your father and your mother’; which is the first command with a promise: ‘That it may go well with you and you may endure a long time on the earth.’” So if you obey your parents, you will be happy. Your future will be secure, and you will be in line to enjoy everlasting life on a paradise earth!—Ephesians 6:2, 3.

When you honor your parents by obeying them, you also honor God because he is the one who commands you to obey them. At the same time, you benefit. “I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit yourself,” the Bible says. (Isaiah 48:17; 1 John 5:3) How does being obedient benefit you? It makes your mother and father happy, and in turn, they will certainly show their pleasure in ways that will make your life happier. (Proverbs 23:22-25) But most important, your obedience makes your heavenly Father happy, and he will reward you in marvelous ways! Let us see how Jehovah blessed and protected Jesus, who said about himself: “I always do the things pleasing to him.”—John 8:29

Answer 2

We are commanded to obey our parents. They are one in God's sight, and we obey both.

Answer 3

You get them to discuss it, unless you want an argument later. As for whether obeying one and not the other is a sin, I believe the commandment is "honour thy parents". Notice the "s" on the end? Its better to have them agree on something. That or just don't do it.

Answer 4

You listen to what the your father, who is the head of the house says. Instead of getting upset at the two different answers, talk peacefully with both parents together to find out why the disunity.

Answer 5

One of God's commandments is to honor your father and mother, however they could be wrong. It is not a sin to disobey a parent if what they want you to do, or not do, is wrong. If God tells you to do something and your dad says to not do it, it is not a sin to disobey your dad in order to obey God, it would be a sin to disobey God.

Answer 6

You shouldn't put your parents at odds. If they unknowingly answer different you should let them know, this way they can come to a decision together.



This is difficult when parents are divorced and living in separate houses...that however is a completely different issue.

Answer 7

The first parent you ask is the answer that you need to stick with manipulation is a sin.

Answer 8

The commandment says to "honor" your parents. If obeying one means something dishonerable, then it isn't a sin to disobey him/her.

Answer 9

You aren't required to obey your parents, you are required to honor them...



I had parents who told me I wasn't allowed to be friends with poor people, I wasn't allowed to feel good about myself while being overweight, I wasn't allowed to reject popular friends who treated me poorly because they had social status and had I obeyed them I would probably be just like them...



To honor your parents is different from obeying them... most parents are imperfect and many do more harm than good...



Even pastors do more harm than good... When I go to church I usually notice that 90% of the things that they teach are wrong...



But it's treating them well in spite of what they do wrong...

Answer 10

Not if what they are telling you to do is wrong.
