Bible Question: Is this verse telling us to obey our biological parents or our spiritual parents (the pastor and his wife)? |
Bible Answer: See Luke 6:46, Romans 8:14, and James 1:22. BLIND OBEDIENCE IS RESERVED ONLY FOR GOD! There will be many that stand before Christ, and say, "I did what they told me to!" Yes I believed what my Pastor told me was right and true about You, Lord! Yes and I believed 'so and so'. I never thought for myself! (Isaiah 1:18) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. God has given you reason, and He will reveal Himself to you "Through the Word" see 1Samuel 3:21! See Jeremiah 29:11-13 and Isaiah 55:8-9. Thank you! |
