I just saw this biblical snippet: Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
No doubt it's open to hundreds of different interpretations. It looks to me like it says that if you honor your parents, you will live a long life. As in this life, NOT the afterlife.
Is that correct? If so, how does one explain the loving children who die young? Or the ******* who live into their 90's? If the answer is that there are exceptions, then doesn't that invalidate this "promise?"
