Michael, what do you think of asking whether this is behavior that comes out of Jesus? For example, ask "Does Jesus steal money from someone?" Or "Does Jesus give to another what He steals, letting the receiver think that it is a gracious gift given in kindness, when it was actually obtained by theft?" Ask, "Where do deceptions come from?"

Does this approach to thinking about actions make sense?

Lol
All I heard is, yes it's a sin to steal. No it's fine to give money away.

Michael, the response of "Lol" in your reply stirs sadness in me. It suggests that you might be playing with God, taking Him lightly. You can know better than I can, whether that is the case. Please take Him seriously. You can be sure that He wants you to have a sincere heart toward Him.

Blessings upon you.
