Bible Question (short): How do you "honor" lying parents? |
Question (full): What does the bible mean when it says to "honor" your father and mother? I am married to a man - his father and mother have treated us terribly by making false accusations against us, telling lies to the entire family about us and getting them to believe all of their lies (and turn on us), talking to us in a disgraceful way, etc. These people are all Christians. What does it mean to "honor" parents who act this way (gossip, spread rumors, lie about us)? |
