question why do people do harm to their parents and curse them?

Question

GOD says honour thy father and thy mother

Answer 1

well for some family,s its easy to honour their parent,s but for a lot of people their parent,s are not nice people. take my mama, the only time she cares about her kids is when they have money and they give her every thing that they have and then she still wont,s more. some parent,s only care about their kids when there is something in it for the parent. but if you are a christian you will still honour your parents no matter or how they do or act, just keep your faith and do what GOD tells you to do

Answer 2

2 Timothy 3:1-5
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power, Avoid such men as these.

Hope this answers your question!

Does this describe the day and age we are in yet?
Those reading this:
God knows what mankind is capable of. He sent His Son to shed His precious blood on the cross for my sins and for yours. IF you are heading down the wrong road and want to get right with God, do it before it is too late.

1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

Answer 3

I'm not addressing Menendez-type situations.

We can't choose our parents. Some get good ones, some don't. Some get good ones but they just aren't the right people to raise a particular child (like my situation). As the saying goes, you can't pick your relatives.

I firmly believe that respect must be earned. Children are so oppressed. Arguably it's for their own good, but there are few who really have the energy to be fair to their kids in all situations.

I guess my bottom line is - I don't think parents deserve respect. I think they need to earn it. You can't force someone to respect or honor you. You can merely manage to get them to keep their mouths shut and pay you lip service.

Answer 4

People are a product of their parents, if a kid is disrespectful or hits their parents...then who else is their to blame but the people who raised them and gave them their morals?

I've never cursed or hit my parents, because they knew what they were doing and did a good job.

Answer 5

Feh, no one said the Bible was wrong in ALL things. Some of its morality is pretty decent, even if the god it describes is the most vile creature ever written about. It's just the whole "there is a god" thing that the Bible has wrong.

Answer 6

Anyone who harms their parents ultimately harms themselves. When they are gone there is nothing worse than dealing with painful memories of what might have been.

Answer 7

God does not exist. If a parent has done something that warrants cursing, then they deserve the cursing they get. They aren't protected because of their parental status.

I've seen this verse used to protect fathers who beat (and I mean *beat* as in to actually put their children in serious physical danger, not just discipline) their children and parents who are sexually abusive. It's disgusting.

Answer 8

I don't believe in god but I do believe that it's an unwritten rule that you must respect your parents because they put their life on hold to have you and made sacrifices to have you and take care of you. They could have easily chose to add an addition to their house instead of have you and people don't realize how much money it takes to take care of a child.

I think it's just that people are selfish and immature.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Before I answer your question, or rather give you my opinion on it, I must first say that I am not a Christian. I believe the Bible exists, because I have read some of it. But, I also believe that the Bible was written by some very intelligent individuals of their time.
Now, with that said, you are quoting something from a book that most people have not read and neither care about or want to know about.
Honor is a two way street! Unfortunately we live in a society that gives credence to those who wish to say and act anyway they want because it is their right! However, It has a lot to do with the fact that this started before some of you were born. Your mothers and fathers did not want anyone telling them what to do and or ignoring them and how they felt, that they decided it was wrong to allow an oppression of opinion, no matter the reason or the cost.
Don't spank your child because it only teaches them violence!
Don't correct your child because you will damage their brain usage!
Don't yell at your child because you will only hurt their feelings!
Don't tell your child 'No' because it only causes negativity!
But, for goodness sake, 'Reason' with your two year old child by speaking to them in a language they understand!
Give them what they want when the through fits because it proves to them you understand their frustration!
Allow them to cause pain to others because in doing so they realize they are causing pain to themselves!
When you teach a child that hitting his or her sibling over the head with a baseball bat is wrong. You don't sit them down and tell them you understand how they feel but it hurts your sister if you try to kill her with the big stick.
You take the bat away, tell them, and spank them! You don't have to beat a child to get them to understand because children were not created with the same brain functions as an adult.
I have noticed, more often than not, that adults have gone back in time with the way a child is raised. 'A child is made to be seen and not heard!" This stems, I beleive, from the inability on the parents part, to give creedance to a stable way of raising a child!
They hear someone say it's alright to swat your kid if they act up but as soon as you swat them in public you are hand cuffed thrown in the back of a police car and arrested.
Attempt to reason with your child and they slap you across the face or bite your arm. Now the parent is ashamed and won't do anything or say anything because they have an out of control child that everyone looks down on.
Tell you child to clean his room because 'HE' made the mess and you cleaned it the last twelve times and again you are being abusive because you are attempting to teach your child responsiblity.
You may laugh at these or scuff, but because most kids rebell and see parents as authority figures they akin them to 'A mass attempt at control'.
Hmm, if that was the case my mother should have locked me in the highest Tower and thrown away the key.
There are those of you out there who were the exception to the rule. Your parents were never there, and when they were, they were putting their fist across your face or some other un-speakable act that REALLY chaps my hide.
But for the most part teens are finding their nitch in this world, they aren't adults, as seen by adults, and they aren't children!
They disrepect because they can't find anyone to really listen to how they feel or what they think! There is nothing wrong with them this is just part of the next step in life.
However, some of these kids find people to listen to them! They listen so well, that these kids find comfort in these people weather it be good or bad. They believe this person 'Really' understands them and would never hurt them or ignore them or treat them like a child. Even if this person is another child themselves it is of little importants. Someone is listening!
When you get together teens who feel frustrated and ignored and have one in a bunch that tells them what they believe they want to hear, you have disrespect and hurt.
They don't really care about the other teen, because to them, this person is listening to them too. They feel powerful for the first time, ever, and feed on this power!
Eventually you have a bunch of angry kids roaming around hating everyone, including themselves and want to take it out on the two people who really care about them the most. Their Parents!
Honor, to some, comes in every shade and every degree! Honor me and I will honor you. Honor my friends and I will honor you!
Honor has lost a lot in it's true translation over the years and both parent and child need to see this!
Honor your child and they will honor you! Honor your parents and they will honor you! Honor is something issued to both parent and child! But most of all HONOR YOURSELF!
Honor yourself by being the best that you can be! Honor yourself by listening as well as participating! If there was true Honor in families we would not have this problem.
Kids are kids until they prove otherwise! An adult is a kid if they haven't proven that the only thing growing on them is their height.
Have honor in what your parents have shown you and taught you over the years and realize that you are very lucky. Honor your parents because it sounds like they have honored you by teaching you well. And, when you begin having children instill in them the importance of communication!
This is lacking where ever you see disrespect or dis-honor. Not only on the parents part but also on the childs part!
