1 | Is this verse telling us to obey our bio | Eph 6:1 | semo87 | 130276 | ||
Is this verse telling us to obey our biological parents or our spiritual parents (the pastor and his wife)? | ||||||
2 | Is this verse telling us to obey our bio | Eph 6:1 | Ray | 130291 | ||
Hi semo87, Welcome to the forum. I agree also that the verse is talking about biological parents. However, I would add that 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. Ephesians 5:10 also gives the thought that we are trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. The One whom we are serving is our Master in heaven, but we learn obedience by following the lead of godly parents and husbands who love their wives and are the head of the family. But the bottom line is that the whole church is subject to Christ. Ephesians 5:6, "Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of (God) comes upon the sons of disobedience." Ephesians 5:24, "But as the church is subject to (Christ), so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything." Ephesians 6:1, "Children, obey your parents in the (Lord), for this is right." Ephesians 6:10, "Finally, be strong in the (Lord), and in the strength of His might." The parentheses are mine for comparison/contrast. From the heart, Ray |

"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! God Bless! Angel |
