So my friend is in a bit of a situation, he lied to his mom so he could do something. He told his mom that my dad gave him a lift home. She said she was going to call my dad tomorrow. He’s really panicking. He says that if his mom finds out, that she will lose all trust in him and his mom is very very strict. He says he won’t be allowed out ever again. He has suggested to me to ask my dad to cover it up to save him, I want to do what’s right in this situation not sin. Please advise…thanks and God Bless

As bad a situation as it is, he kind of gave her a reason not to trust him. He lied to her. You shouldn’t lie for him. It is sin to lie, and adding one lie on top of another won’t help. He has to keep his parents’ trust by telling them the truth.

1. Tell your Dad what’s going on so that he doesn’t get surprised.
2. Tell your friend that your Dad is going to tell his Mom the truth.
3. File this lesson away because you are going to use it over and over again as you grow up.

Do the right thing. Your friend - if he is a friend - will understand.

Tell him you can’t tell lies for him nor can you ask someone else to tell lies for him. Who knows where it would end?

It’s his mess and he needs to get himself out of it. The best way is to own up and tell the truth. His mom will be happier if he owns up voluntarily and more unhappy if - or when - she finds out about the lie on her own.

I think you know what the right thing to do, now pray that you have the strength to do it!

I agree. Be sure to do #1.

The other posters are correct b/c lying is definitely a sin. Now your friend will think twice before he lies again to his mother. And you could actually be saving him from telling a more serious lie in the future. You are setting a good example for your friend, and God will bless you for it.

Unfortunately, he is giving his mother good reason to have faltering trust. That is not your doing or your fault. Please take others’ advice and do what is right. A friend will not lead us into sin or temptation of sin. Lying for your friend would simply put you in a state of sin.
