Bible Question: I need a Sripture refance to the Question , Is there a curse to NOt Honouring your parents ??? |
Bible Answer: Dear TinCrutchfield: The Bible certainly never promises a blessing to those who disobey God! Whether one calls it a curse or something else, disobedience to God's commands always carries a consequence. Fifth Commandment has been called the Commandment with a promise, for it says, "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you" (Exodus 20:12). God's plan for a solid social strucure centered upon the family involves proper order. See Deut. 21:18-21 and Eph. 6:1-4. ..... Paul in two of his letters lists "disobedient to parents" among other sinful practices that are hallmarks of the breakdown of law and godly living. Some of the ckinds of people named in Paul's sordid lists, right along with being disobedient to parents, are lovers of self, slanderers, lovers of money, boastful, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, inventors of evil, ungrateful, unholy, etc. (See Romans 1:30 and 2 Timothy 3:2.) Not very good company to be in, that's for sure! --Hank |
