Subject: Is this verse telling us to obey our bio |
Bible Note: "the context would imply that we are to obey our biological parents when they are good "spiritual" leaders who are bringing us up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." Hi, Ray! Excellent point! Too often we have witnessed, either directly or indirectly, parents who are teaching anti-Christian values... at times, as their children mature, some of them seek God but there's no one to guide them... they have to make the personal decision not to follow in their parents' footsteps rejecting the world and humbly seeking Christ Jesus!
