The Forgotten Commandment
 

"Honor thy father and thy mother"

^^One of the 10 commandments...This admonishment is also found in the new testament a few times as "obey your parents"...


The original commandment provides a clear warning to its readers of what will happen if you don't honor your parents. The bible says that if you curse your parents, your life will be cut short.PERIOD. When you see young people dying in car wrecks and being killed suddenly, this scripture should run through your mind. Conversely, the text also says that if you honor your parents, "...your days will be long."

If you want to live long, respect your parents. If you want to cut your life short, curse and disrespect your parents.

P.S. Don't think that if someone doesn't believe in this scripture that it isn't true. Check this out...There are LAWS that many people don't believe in. But, when you break them, your ignorant behind is going to jail!


"Honor thy father and thy mother"


:thumbup:

what if your parent wants to molest you because i grew up with this girl whos father did that to her and her mother never believed her she would always curse at them but it kept happening but she ran away i have advised her to tell the police but she was afraid and still is im not going to get to deep in the story.

In that case, the scripture provides two stipulations:


1. "When my father and mother forsake me, the lord will lift me up" <----So, abusive parents is like defaulting on the contract...Once that occurs, then God himself bears the responsibility of being "your parent."



2. The text that says, "obey your parents" has a B-clause...It says, "Obey your parents, IN THE LORD." <---- This means that if anything is requested of you that is immoral, you are exonerated from following it by the law of God.

And, the bible also warns parents of "provoking your children to anger." It clearly states that anyone who leads a child astray will have to answer to God himself for it.

thats what i thought because i forget what religion says that if your you have to obey your parents no matter what even if they harm you

^^Not sure what that is...But, I venture to say that most kids don't have a gripe. Parents don't often ask you to do things that are immoral and/or harmful. Most of the time, they are trying to teach kids the right way to go. There's nothing new under the sun...

true but i wouldnt know i never grew up with either of my parents

...which is why most people don't work on Sunday, I surmise...Even though the week technically begins with Sunday, most people hold the sabbath on Sunday and count Monday as the official start of the week. It is the 7th day to them. Even so, Jesus is Lord even of the Sabbath, which means that God's business goes on Monday-Sunday.


And, yes, I agree that this is one of the forgotten commandments as well.

i work every day of the week so im sinning

I interpret that scripture as the "7th" day...whatever that is...cuz even the JEwish day was different from our now...A day was only 12 hours as opposed to 24 now...Also, I think Jesus warned of arguing over such trivial things like this when he rebuked his disciples after they tried to stop other people from preaching Christ, simply because they had different customs. That's called sectarianism. It's a sin.


If you hold the sabbath on Saturday, that's acceptable. But, if someone holds the sabbath on Sunday, that's acceptable as well because it's not clearly defined in the bible, and it's held on Sunday by most Christians.

It's held on Saturday by the Jews. But, they also don't believe in Christ. So, think about that.

Well...if God instructed you to do so, then you're not. but, if you're skipping church to work, then that's breaking at least 2 commandments, "keep the sabbath" and "have no other gods before me".

i dont skip church i still go on sundays but i work everyday

Then, if God didn't tell you to work on the sabbath, then you're breakin at least 1 commandment.



But, jus seek God about it man. Some people have to work on Sunday--i.e., EMS, etc.
