Hi, brother and sisters!

And here I am with my question: Is it sin to flout parents?
Like, my situation, my parents doesn't let me many things which doesn't even stays in Bible. They just think that I'm not allow to do some things. And I really disagree! I want to do these things. But I'm thinking, maybe God wants me to do like my parents saying, to show the respect for them. I don't know what to do.
Pleas, help me, share your opinion!
Because I really want to do these things. But I want God to like me more. I really want to do these things. But I really don't want to go to hell for this...

God bless you!

Well...I don't really think that's unreasonable. They're trying to keep you safe...it's hard I know. It stinks at times. I can't go somewhere sometimes because it's too far away and/or I'll get home really late

I'm reminded of a little thing called the 10 Commandments. Commandment 5 in particular.. "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you."


Colossians 3:20
 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.


Proverbs 20:20
If one curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be put out in utter darkness.


Proverbs 22:23
Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.

Ephesians 6:1-3
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”

Leviticus 20:9
For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him.

Proverbs 30:17
The eye that mocks a father and scorns to obey a mother will be picked out by the ravens of the valley and eaten by the vultures.


I think you get the idea. Essentially as long as your parents are not mistreating you and providing you with the necessities of life you are expected to obey. Also, long as what they are expecting of you is not anything against God or illegal. Just because you have a different opinion does not give you the right to dishonor, disrespect, or disobey.
