ok so god tells us to obey your parents but what if your parent tells you to lie or do something that god other wise wouldn't want you to do should you obey god before your parents?

we are supposed to *honor* our parents and that means don't do things to shame them, hurt them (physically, mentally etc..) we should respect them and listen to them. It doesn't mean that we have to do literally everything they say to do.

If you are over age 6, and are certain that you know that God would not want you do do an ungodly command from one or both of you parents, AND you tell this to three other wise adults that you really trust, AND also they each have raised three or more children to adulthood, AND they all fully agree that your parent(s) are asking you to do sometimng that is not God's will -- then you should (with them along with you) go tell your parent(s) that he/she/they is/are wrong.
If you are not fully willing to do the above, then you must obey your human father and human mother until age 21 and consult with them some until you are age 40.

If your parent tells you to sin then you have to obey God. But you can do it with wisdom. For instance if your parent tells you to lie about something you can tell the person your parent wants you to lie to that they have to ask your parent about the matter and refuse to talk about it any further.

Your parents should be obeyed as long as they are not violating Gods Law. If they are it is always better to obey God than to obey man.

I don't know your age but if your parents told you to do something bad and you felt you had to comply, you would not be accountable I think, depending on your age. If past the age of reason, then you should obey your conscience if possible.

well, God means to obey your parents if they tell you to do something that doesn't involve sin.

Yes most definetly follow God. That is certainly an exception. If you are not disobeying God and know that you are doing the right thing, then it is okay to disobey your parents.

correction god commands us to honor our parents which means that if they tell you to do something and it is not a sin that you should do it and it also means not to disrespect your parents. so by that he means dont yell at them dont hate them and if you can do what they ask but if you aren't able to do it then you should try to find some middle ground. hope it helps :)
