Ok I'm Christian so that would help a bit. My gf's birthday is in two days. My mom took away my bank card for cussing at her so I can't go to the bank and I don't have enough money in my wallet to buy my gf a gift. It's $249.99. My mom's wallet is on the counter. She always carries around lots of money. Should I take some money? But if I do God won't be very happy. I know it's still bad even if I repent but if I don't get money my gf will hate me. My mom has the card in her pocket. Should I take money?

No, you should not steal from your mother. You should tell her the situation and ask her to loan you some money. Your girlfriend can get along without an expensive gift.

Sorry sweetie but, you did wrong when you disrespected your mom. You are a Christian.
Tell your gf that you were disrespectful to your mom and she has grounded you from using the bank card. If she is the kind of girl that you should be seeing, she will understand and will not want you to treat your mom that way. She will understand that the way a guy treats his mom is the way her husband will treat her.
Tell the gf that you will get her gift just as soon as you can. In the mean time work on respecting mom. Maybe mom will change her mind if she sees that you are repentant and respectful.
Don't steal from your mom, this would get you into even more trouble. You are a Christian and everything that you do must be pleasing to God. Stealing is one of the sins that sent Jesus to the cross.

This is the wrong thing to do dear heart. Your gf will not hate you if you cannot afford an expensive gift for her. If she does, then; she's not worth the trouble you'll get into with your mother. Remember; gf are like clouds; they dissolve in the wind, but a mother is like the sunshine! It's always there even if she is behind clouds and your mind do not see what it does for you.
Please do not be foolish as to believe your gf will love you only if you get her an expensive gift you will buy with your mother's money! Your mother will not be very happy dear heart. She is God's blessings to you and she would be dissapointed in you. Think about it and do not worry about the gift. Keep your hands clean; it is more important and also the respect of your mom.
Sometimes, we do cuss from frustration and that too is not worth the trouble. In the end, things work out just fine and we have worried needlesly and end up feeling rotten.
Sleep on it!

You mother loves you NOT to let you get away with being fresh and disrespectful. Tell your girlfriend the Truth why you are unable to get her a present and make it up to her another time. Have you said your sorry to God and to your mom? IF you are a christian you won't care about what your girlfriend thinks it is important that you have integrity which is the difference knowing right and wrong. DON'T take the money if you are faithful in little you will be faithful in much. Don't betray your moms trust so you can make your girlfriend happy, By the way if your girlfriend really loves you she will understand and if she doesn't she is a gold digger not seeking the kingdom of God. One last thought if you thought this was right you would not be asking advice on this site and in the future watch your mouth Ephesians 4:29

No way! You have disrespected your mom by cursing at her, and you must face the consequences. Stealing money from your mom will make things so much worse.
I think this is what God meant when He told Cain that "sin is crouching at your door - it wants to overtake you, but you can overcome it." If you do one sin, then another presents itself to you. Part of your atonement for the 1st sin is to reject the temptation of the 2nd one. If you give in though, it will lead down a road of more and more sin. Your relationships will all suffer.
Tell your girlfriend what has happened, and that you will have to celebrate her birthday at a later date. If she does not understand, then she must not be that great of a girlfriend. If she is a good girl, she won't want you to risk getting in trouble just to buy her a gift. Tell her it is your intent to buy it, and you will do so as soon as you get your card back.
You will have much integrity if you do not give in to this temptation. You will feel much better about yourself, and you will be following Christ, which as a Christian, is your duty.
I hope I didn't sound too preachy, but I had to say what I think, since you asked.
God bless you with strength to do the right thing!

No you shouldn't, this is affordable ways to give gifts that are romantic. It might not be an diamond but a lot of good women and I will emphasize "good women" will appreciate the trivial things you do to make something special.
Take her to the park, write her a poem, have picnic right at the park. Rent some block buster, give her a long back massage and tell her you really care about. I'm sure she will understand the money thing.

you cuss your mom and get your bank card taken away?
6 years ago my brother, (who was 35 at the time) called my mother a B$#CH. and my father knocked 5 teeth out of his head.
be lucky that your head is still on your shoulders and that you can sit down. tell the GF that she will have to wait untill mommy gives you your allowance back.
and don't cuss your mom. that is the worst kind of disrespect that you can show.

No, don't steal from your Mom.
If you have repented from cussing her, maybe you could ask her for forgiveness...
On the other hand, if you have already repented before God, and are OK with God (otherwise, make peace with God!), then, if you are a real Christian, then pray a lot to God, that He shows you what to do! Prayer changes circumstances.

Why do you need to buy your girlfriend such an expensive gift? Buy her a less expensive one or make her something, be creative.
It's obvious that your mom controls the money, if you go and steal from her, don't you think she'll be even more angry at you and cut back on how much money you are allowed?
