Did you know dishonoring parents will get you condemned to death?

Question

It is a command to honor your parents. There is nothing that says if they were goood, or of your faith, or anything else...It says honor. And that would entail...emotional, physical and spiritual.
And you do this out of respect for God. In a loving way so you will be worthy to be part of God's Kingdom.

Answer 1

Interesting that no one realizes that honoring ones parents extends beyond childhood. Yes, honoring ones parents begins in childhood. Parents are to train their children in the right way and set a proper example for them in their formative years. (Deuteronomy 6:5-7) As they grow, their appreciation for for their parents should grow and they honor them. Jesus showed that this involves all of us, not just children, by his words at Matthew 15:4-9 Adult children were shirking their responsibility toward their aged parents by saying that their assets were dedicated to God, and so could not be used to care for their parents needs.
We are under the law of the Christ. The law of love. Love should motivate us to honor our parents. After all that Jesus has done for us, isn't it only right that he should expect a self-sacrificing spirit from us?

Dishonoring Parents

Answer 3

Where do you get this stuff? None of what you said is true. The bible condemns all forms of Beastiality: Ex.22:19 The scripture in Deuteronomy 22 does not say that about rape. It means if a woman does not cry for help. Basically if she is a willing partner in an adultery. The bible actually does condone marriage between one man and one woman. There were only a few people in the bible who had multiple wives. Read 1 Timothy 3:2 And what about the lesbianism thing, right? Well, read Romans 1:26 and then stop spreading slanderous lies. I'm assuming you got your information from an atheist or humanist bent on twisting biblical scripture to make the bible seem evil. Read it for yourself and read the interpretations of the words in the strongs concordance because some words in the bible can be interpreted different ways and you need to understand the real meaning of these words and scriptures.

In the Wisdom Books of the Apacrypha which is omitted from the KJV bible ... yes, the information given in your question is written.

Did you know Native Americans who practice the Old Ways of Spirituality seem to get along with everyone but Christians, when discussing religion? Yep, it's true ... and not just because they took our land and our lives ...

Answer 5

We can do nothing to become worthy of God's grace. Ephesians 2:8-10 says that we are saved APART from good works; rather, we are saved by God UNTO good works that He prepared in advance for Christians to walk in.

Answer 6

You speak truth Sister from Jehovah's Word the Bible. We need to raise our children to be obedient and respectful. These days you don't hear alot of kids say thank you, your welcome, please, and so on. Society is on the decline. We knew this would take place according to what Paul was inspired to write at 2 Tim 3:1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

Answer 7

Yes, that's in the Bible. And it doesn't matter that you didn't ask to be born. There is no excuse for not honoring your mother and father. Matthew 15:3, 4 states -  "In reply he said to them: “Why is it YOU also overstep the commandment of God because of YOUR tradition? For example, God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Let him that reviles father or mother end up in death.’ "
And again in Matthew 7:10 -  "For example, Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Let him that reviles father or mother end up in death.’ "
So this command is not only in the Old Testament, but Jesus quoted this from the laws given to the Israelites. In relation to their children, parents are God’s representatives, authorized to train, discipline, and direct them. Parents are therefore entitled to honor, or respect. This would not be limited to a child’s obedience and his manifesting a high regard for his parents. When necessary, it would include lovingly caring for parents in later life.

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim - In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Hello. Yes, it is true that honoring one's parents is a commandment of God. In the Qur'an, the Scripture of the Muslims, we are instructed to honor our parents and never say a word of reproof for them. Also, in the prophetic traditions, called "hadiths", there was a man who came to the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, and asked, "To whom do I owe the most honor?" The Prophet replied, "Your mother". He then asked, "Who next?", and the Prophet replied, "Your mother". He asked another time and was told "Your mother". He asked again, and only then did the Prophet tell him "Your father". This shows the great esteem that we Muslims are supposed to show for our mothers, whom we honor three times above our fathers. And we are supposed to honor our fathers highly, so how much more do we owe to our mothers?

Honoring parents means that you are kind to them, you take care of their needs before your own, that you listen to them when they express an opinion. It does NOT mean that you obey them when they tell you to do something forbidden, or that you agree with everything they say. Even when you disagree, you do so in a polite, kind manner.

Now, there is the important issue in what to do when your parent is an evil person. Not just a mediocre parent, but downright bad, an abuser, a molester, a murderer. The overriding concern is that you protect yourself and your loved ones. It is a huge sin in Islam to cut the ties of family , but if you fear your parent will harm you or your loved ones, this takes precedence and of course you are not required to harm yourself out of some misguided loyalty. Even in the worst case, you should at the very least make du'a for the parent, asking Allah to guide him or her. If you cannot bring yourself to do that, then at least refrain from cursing him or her.

Allah knows what is in our hearts. He knows our joy and love for our parents and he knows the anger, hatred, and pain when that parental bond is abused. He will not judge us harshly; rather, He will judge us with compassion and if we are so blessed as to be admitted into Paradise, He will heal us of all pain and anger. And Allah knows best.

I ask that Allah guide you to that which is best in this world and the next. Ameen.

Answer 9

There is no condemnation through Christ Jesus. We are covered in his blood that he shed for our sins. however, true that, dishonoring our parents does not ensure a long life as the Bible clearly states "Honor your father and mother in the Lord for this is right and that you may have long life." So by honoring them you gain long life!!! But still there is no "condemnation" through Christ Jesus. But, there is forgiveness, Thank God!

Answer 10

Only if they decide to believe such as you do. Some parents are very good people and deserve honor and others aren't. You cannot convince me in any way that abusive parents deserve honor from the people they have hurt.
