Re: On the subject of Honor
Posted by: natural_essentials <natural_essentials@...>
I realize the commandments state honor thy father and mother. But what
do you tell the child, young adult, or adult who has been dishonored by
their own parents (or family members, whatever) by being sexually abused?
You wonder "is honor due" as stated below, yet it is a commandment.
What about the child who suffers because the parent is an alcoholic?
What if the parent is a an atheist - or agnostic or cultist?
What about the parent that simply is a BAD parent for whatever reason?
Obviously you tell the person to pray for the parent, but what do you
tell them about honoring the parent, when honor certainly doesn't seem
DUE??
