A muslim converts to Christianity, father and mother are dishonored and disown the convert competely. God commands that we must honor our mother and father. Has this convert sinned?

 

[Yukerboy]

1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Is the Muslim convert born of God? If the answer to my question is yes, then the answer to your question is no.

 

[98cwitr]

so a Christian doesn't sin?

 

[Marcus Constantine]

A muslim converts to Christianity, father and mother are dishonored and disown the convert competely. God commands that we must honor our mother and father. Has this convert sinned?

Of course not. Christ himself demonstrated that we must follow Him, even if it takes us away from our father and mother. In Luke he tells those following Him that they must love him more than their father or mother. Our allegiance is to Christ first, although we should be respectful to our parents if they disagree, we cannot allow that to get in the way of following Him.

No. While we are to honor our parents, our first obligation is to obey God.

 

[98cwitr]

our first obligation is to obey God.

That's my whole point....

No! Nothing is more honorable than to surrender to the Lord despite what perception anyone may have otherwise. It is stated that we should honor our father and mother not make them think we have honored them.

King James Version Bible


Matthew Chapter 10

35. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36. And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.

37. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

40. He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

I'd venture to say Joseph and Mary suffered from being dishonored by the Jews due to Jesus' ministry. And I'm willing to bet no one would say Jesus sinned.
