If I do not want to Honor my Mother, as the Commandments of God demand,?

Question

is it o.k. to just say she is not my Mother anymore?

Answer 1

No its not ok. Y ou suspose to honor your mother and father.

Answer 2

Most certainly not. If you have no desire to honor your mother, then I would suggest that you ask for God's forgiveness, and start honoring your mother immediately. It is what God expects. If He did not expect such, He would of not commanded us to do such in his Holy Word. On the other hand, I realize that many parents do not live the kind of lifestyle that is fit for any person to want to follow, or to honor. If this should be the case (and I certainly hope that it is not), then I would suggest that you pray desperately for your mother to get right with God. He does not expect a person to follow sinfulness; from our mother or from anyone else. But if your mother is living the right kind of Godly life, then by all means respect and honor her. I do not have my mother with me anymore, but I always thank God for the Godly principles that she taught me when she was with me. A Godly mother is a great gift from God. Do not take it for granted.

Answer 3

Perhaps, you find it hard to honor your parents. It may be that they are making what you feel are unreasonable demands or are setting a bad example in conduct. Yet, the Bible clearly commands: “Honor your father and [your] mother", which is the first command with a promise.” (Ephesians 6:2) Just what does this involve? And are there good reasons to do so, even when parents make honoring them difficult?

For one thing, Proverbs 23:22 says: “Listen to your father who caused your birth, and do not despise your mother.” There are an estimated 55 million abortions worldwide each year. The mere fact that your parents allowed you to be born is one reason to honor them.
Reflecting on all that your parents have done for you over the years should move you to honor them: For example, some who at one time was very disrespectful, came to realize and to understand all what their parrents did for them. To some I know, they are thankful to God [Jehovah] that they didn’t abort them or dumb them in a garbage can as a baby. Especially when there is a single parent, and there are other siblings to take care of. Rearing children, though, is not only “tough” but also expensive.

A Canadian report revealed that the cost of rearing a child to the age of 18 by a two-parent family with only one child is at least $66,400! (That was in the 80's) Think of your parents’ self-denial to provide your food and clothing. No doubt, your parents also spent many sleepless nights caring for you when you got sick. There were hundreds of diapers to change and loads of your dirty clothes to wash.
So your parents gave you life and took care of you. Certainly they deserve your respect and honor. Try to understand why your parents act the way they do. Also, remind yourself of the benefits that they furnish. Respecting someone does not necessarily mean that you agree with him. “Keep the very order of the king [or parent], and that out of regard for the oath of God,” advises Ecclesiastes 8:2. As long as the order does not violate God’s laws, show your love for God by honoring it. “Be obedient to your parents in everything, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.”—Colossians 3:20.

Finally, So look for ways that you can show honor to your parents. Such honor will usually improve your relationship with them. Even if it does not, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are pleasing God. By showing such honor, “it may go well with you and you may endure a long time on the earth.”—Ephesians 6:3.

Answer 4

What makes violating the commandments so serious is the consequences you will suffer. Giving up on your mother means you probably have issues that need to be dealt with.
Maybe one day when you have children of your own, and have given up much of your life for them, you might understand.
I'm sure your mother has faults, like most mothers, but that doesn't give you the right to just write her off.

She doesn't deserve your relationship with her to be put to death, and neither do you.

I've you can't be nice, at least be civil.

Answer 5

You can obey the command to honor your mother and not have to put yourself in a position of being used in an unGodly manner by her.

You really do not need to denounce her as your mother. You can stay clear of her and just remember to not speak ill of her to others. THis would not include your husband as he is Gods answer to your need to unburdon yourself of cares to another human being. You can both together pray and bring those concerns to God.

We honor our parents by not doing some things as well as by the things that we do. I have family members that I love from a distance because it is to difficult for me to love them in their presence. One day I may be strong enough in my walk with God for this to be a possiblity, but for right now it is not. This may be the place that you are at also.

Answer 6

No. Honoring your parents is something you are supposed to, and you can't change who your mother is. Just be respectful of her, and kind to her. You don't have to be a slave to her (though you need to obey her if you are under 18 or 21 and are living with her), but you still need to not be rude or uncaring to her.

Answer 7

I don't know you circumstances and pretend to know what goes on. My mother is dead. I would give anything to have her for just one day. Look at your mother like it was the last time you would ever see her, last time you'd hear her voice. Kiss her and hug her and try to remember that no petty argument is worth not having a mom.

Answer 8

No, that's not how it works. The Bible does not cover "disowning your parents", however it isn't generally clear on "honoring either". If by honoring, they mean respecting or treating well, then you are fine. Honoring doesn't mean obey.

Answer 9

Yeah but that would make you a lier, and that would violate the "You shall not bear false witness" commandment. So take your pick, either way you are violating one commandment or another.
