    How do adult children honor their parents?

    Sorry. I was busy this weekend. Felix, I don't feel that this discussion is geting anywhere. I'll respond, but I think we'll have to agree to disagree. Jesus said to honor your parents not to obey them. In anticiaption of the next argument, yes there is a difference between honoring and...

    How do adult children honor their parents?

    Why do you keep bringing up Old Testament laws?:confused: Why not bring up the laws about selling your children into slavery (Exodus 21:7, etc.)? We are no long under the commandments of the Old Testament. Younger children are able to honor their parents. I honored my parents when I brought...

    How do adult children honor their parents?

    Ephesians 6:1, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.†Children can mean "offspring" or "those who are not adults". If it means the latter, how am I voiding God's law? When I meant when I said research is I read the scriptures, saw how parents treated their...

    How do adult children honor their parents?

    You just repeated what I wrote. Are you truly reading what I'm saying? I feel that you're just scanning my words. As I indicated earlier, usually, no one cares and loves a child more than their parents. The mother has every right to tell her child to stay in the closet. I said that the child is...

    How do adult children honor their parents?

    If I child steals candy from the store and her mother tells her to stay in the closet all week, then the child must obey and is glorifying God for her obedience to her mother's chastisement. Even if the child wasn't being punished and her mother said it randomly, she'd have to obey because she...

    How do adult children honor their parents?

    As hard as it is for you to believe, some parents will use their power for fun. Though they're not supposed to they will. And even with good intentions parents sometimes mess up. You're saying that you'll decide when their command is in the Lord and then obey it when really you mean you'll obey...

    What is the worst movie you've ever seen?

    Reptilian. Exact quote: "This is sortin' to look like some-sort of prehistoric pettin' zoo." Need I say more?:biglol The Green Hornet The first superhero movie where I wanted the main character to lose. I think the producers get a pleasure out of annoying the audience.:nono2 The 7...

    How do adult children honor their parents?

    The command is for children to obey their parents and adults to honor. Common sense tells us that if a king's mother tried to tell him how to rule his kingdom, she would be out her mind. If you're father called you up right now and said, "Felix, I want you and your family to go in the closet and...

    How do adult children honor their parents?

    Felix, if I may add my two-cents. Romans 7:2 and 1 Cor 7:39 seem to be talking about the law of the husband. I don't see anything about a father here. And isn't the son being stoned for dishonoring his parents name by improper conduct (drunkard, glutton) that is publically displayed...

    Are video games corrupting kids?

    I don't think it's only the games. There are bad infuences in every sort of media in our culture. If I had kids I would research the gameslike you said and then make a decision. What my family considers inappropriate and what the rating boards consider inappropriate are two different things. Did...

    what do woman want in a godly man ?

    I hope you're kidding. If there was a billionaire who was ungodly, stupid, or mean, I wouldn't waste neuron considering his hand. Money doesn't factor in at all. Give me the intelligent, funny, caring, godly broke-guy and I'll fall head over heels everytime.:-)

    How do adult children honor their parents?

    That's a good point. But I think 7teen realized that in the way she posted her comments. Read the last one.

    How do adult children honor their parents?

    I think Felix brings up some good point as does Handy. The issue here is if bible allows adult children independence of their parents. Regardless of how 7teen feels about her father or Felix about his traditions or Handy about her preferences, the only thing that matters is what the Bible...
