Honor your parents

One of the Commandments is;

Honor your Mother and Father

Why was this commandment given?

Well, in the time in which it was given- When parents got to old sometimes they were just taken down the street and left to fend for themselves. They were often to old to get back home and died where they were left.

Also, since they took care of the children as babies the children had a duty to take care of them as the parents grew old.

In the New Testament it even goes to the next step.

It says that all those older than you are your parents in the Lord. This means that you treat them with a certain degree of repect. listen to their advice,because they have experience in life.

Amen to all that!



Good idea too, going through the Law of God!



We are supposed to study and meditate on it.

Darn it Dennis, I just checked andI am older than you. I was going to asks if I could borrow your car and 20 dollars to go to the movies this Friday evening. :-(

However on the the bright side, I'll expect no more back talk from you young man! ;-)...Hahaha...Lol!

Good post Dennis, cause you know what they say about people in the last days.

2Tim 3:2-4 "People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self control, brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God."

Whew, what a list!
