A question about the “love thy mother, love thy father” commandment
-
4 通の返信The commandments aren't for the sake of others. They're for the sake of yourself. And do not busy yourself so readily with things done in your past. You do not possess the past. Do not let it possess you.

Of course not every time, some parents are just vile, some will murder their children so obviously this is not something to follow blindly. For most cases tho yes, parents do what they do because it's best for their kids and you should respect it even if you disagree. Like most religious morals, just use common sense 🤷♂️

It's "honor your father and mother". So you should honor them. If they are abusive, leave as soon as you can, but don't take revenge, revenge is the Lord's. You should also love them. You are supposed to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

23 通の返信Isn’t it honor thy father and thy mother? I think this should only apply if they “honor” you. If they are abusive terrible parents they don’t deserve your respect or love.

The commandment was respect. Respect is giving the position and the responsibility of parenthood the recognition it deserves. It means that unless you have a hecking lot of a compelling reason to disobey a specific request/command (I’m talking more than “I’m an adult I do what I want” or something like that) you do it. Love is nothing you can demand from anyone, but respect can be given to everyone. So yeah, you have to respect the fact that they have taken up the burden to raise you.

You don’t forgive someone because THEY need it. You forgive them because YOU need it. Ask yourself what is forgiveness? Is it a physical thing that you hand to someone who wronged you? Does it have monetary value? Of course not! Literally the only reason you forgive people is so that you don’t carry the burden of being wronged. It allows you to lead a healthier and happier life because you don’t get bothered by what other people do. That’s not to say you shouldn’t hold people accountable. It means you shouldn’t allow them to have that much control over your emotions.

themirror2manにより編集済み: 10/21/2019 1:05:40 AMWhen a parents (edit) [abusive] behavior comes in between an individual and their "center" of individuality whether that be their faith or their beliefs in self, their obligation ends. If you choose to love them beyond that "line in the sand" you do it at your own expense. If parent is the guardian of a minor and they are abusive... the child has the right and obilgation to their self to cry out for help. Every human being has a right to self preservation that is above obligation to others. No one is born a " hero" they either choose to be or are forced to be. Ive been abused. Took me along time to see where the lines of love end.
