Excellent teaching. One point that always seems to get left out on this topic is : “Anyone who dishonors father or mother must be put to death. Such a person is guilty of a capital offense. Leviticus 20:9 NLT Jesus also quoted it.. For instance, God says, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’ But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’ In this way, you say they don’t need to honor their parents. And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition. You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, Matthew 15:4-7 NLT This commandment is far more serious and important than we think.
