Subject: Should this verse apply today? |
Bible Note: This too is an interesting question, one where most Christians claim liberty that they are not under the law. However there is promise that accompanied the commandment this law was based on. It says that if you honor your parents you will add years to your life. I have never found a Christian that didn’t claim that part of the law. :-) We can’t have it both ways. |
