Subject: Should this verse apply today? |
Bible Note: In this particular case is not the inverse also implied that your days will be shortened if you don't honor your parents. If in your argument the promise applies doesn't the inverse also? I also disagree with your interpretation that our freedom from the law applies to the condemnation inherent in breaking it. If your talking spiritual condemnation your right, however there is the societal aspects that must be considered. While we are not under the law we still do not condone murder, lying or thievery. Each still carry with it a punishment. Dishonoring a parent still has a God given societal punishment with it. The question is are we right or wrong for ignoring God’s prescription for breaking that commandment? |
