I (18M) just got into a huge fight with my mother because i refused to do what they asked, because it would be sin.

Theyre now livid at me because i refuse to lie to someone. Saying im “trying to start fights” when i just don’t want to go against the Lord. They are calling me disrespectful and rude…I dont know what to do…do i just lie??

You might find an acceptable alternative.

My parents think I am trying to start fights.
I have been told that I try to start fights, but that is not my intention.
I apologize if I have given the impression that I am trying to start fights.
Could you tell me what gives you the impression that I am trying to start fights.

Obviously I have no detail at all, but one of the available methods is often, to be absent. To hide in a bathroom, to make another appointment instead of being wherever you are expected to lie, however it can work in the situation. Or to be silent. To not speak at all.

I suspect the lie would benefit you. Parents are protective.
Blessings.

I ended up disobeying my mother and just telling the person the truth and it went perfectly smoothly. So im glad I listened to God XD. There was absolutely no reason to lie (not that there ever is)
