Was this a Sin or a Good Deed?

[Deacon_Ed_B]

A family member of mine was in a car accident (thankfully, no one was hurt, but their car was totaled). Anyway, they are very busy with work and other stuff, but they wanted to do an online driving school to keep their insurance rates from going up and to reduce the ticket cost.

Anyway, they asked me if I would do the course for them since they are so busy and I have a lot of free time these days (graduated, still can’t find work). I agreed and did the course for them. They have also said they would like me to do a correspondence license renewal course (they are a real estate broker among other things) for them; again, they are muy busy.

I am happy to do this for them and they have even offered to pay me (I never asked for money though).

Is this a sin or a good deed on my part?

It looks like this web of deceit is growing.

How is it a criminal violation for me? I am not submitting anything to the insurance company.

For the sake of clarity - not only are we not to commit crimes or sins ourselves, we are, if possible, to avoid knowingly helping or advising others to commit crime or sin. We have obligations to our society and to the body of Christ to try to ensure, as far as possible, that NO crime or sin is committed by ANYONE.

So if you enable or help or advise or encourage another to comit a crime (or a sin) you share their guilt. Legally as well as morally. It’s called complicity in crime/sin.
