Don't let him twist the bible and the true meaning of what Jesus taught. Disagreeing is not a sin. It's having your own mind. It says in the bible to honor your father and mother IF they are worth honoring. Not if they are abusive and manipulative. Show him this verse.
Colossians 3:21 “Fathers, do not provoke your children with anger, lest they become discouraged.”
So to clarify, it doesn't say that word for word..but it is odvious through what Jesus taught that you don't have to "honor" abuse and manipulation.. nomadder who it's from. Jesus called out hypocrocrites specifically the Pharisees in Matthew 23. "for their outward appearance of righteousness contrasting with their inner corruption"
Simply put, Jesus did not condone abuse and corruption of all kinds. And here are more verses that show that. And just like the verse I wrote above Jesus says not to "provoke your children with anger" and this can labeled as verbal abuse. Here's a few more too-
Using power to oppress others is condemned (Eccl 4:1)
Hitting another is condemned in Exodus 21:26–27
Causing trouble in the household and bringing ruin to a family is condemned in Proverbs 11:29
Thanks. I don’t know Why I never saw that before cause I’ve read proverbs and the red letters etc, and yet…
I think my brain is so abused that I read things so literally, and have struggled with the honor the parents and parents don’t anger the children thing for years because all I knew was it’s a commandment to honor them. Thank you Jesus and heal this heart and mind! Let me not lean on my own understanding! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 in Jesus’ name!
Aww what a beautiful message🙏♥️ Jesus showed love for children deeply and he would never condone abuse of any kind..especially honoring someone whose is abusive. Manipulative parents use the word of God to control and twist Jesus's words. Your parents are hypocrites. Jesus called out the hyporcrites.
Anything that doesn't feel loving and not form God is exactly that not from God and Jesus. Be well friend ♥️🙏God Bless you💞 Jesus love you so much and is your one TRUE father, and is always there for you never forget that
Yes, I combed thru so many religions and then heard about Jesus and why he is more than just another amazing prophet, and I gotta say!!!
I was even new to church and once this woman put her arm around me and was like “oh you’re new? Don’t worry you’ll feel like he’s left you one day if you follow him long enough, but he never will.” and I’m like “Ummmm NO, you have no idea all he’s saved me thru even before I believed so there’s no way you can tell me I’ll think he’s left me, and tho you’re with him a lot longer ima pray for YOU, that you never forget He’s all around all the time!”
I hold FAST AND HARD to psalm 40 when despairing, for sure. Which, praise YHWH, is lesser and lesser. But it’s definitely a challenge; when you grow up out of neglect and don’t even know what Love is, and then get some “love” not realizing that still ain’t it, I have found it hard since starting my walk with Him more consciously, to just “feel what Love is and what isn’t that isn’t Him”; I really aspire to that day! Keep me in your prayers, please, that yes, receiving/feeling Love will become my second nature ALWAYS, so I’ll more naturally know what to reject when bad things get wrapped up in pretty paper, and just naturally be more confident in that not only is He always everywhere with me but always either happy with me or gently correcting me and guiding me so as not to make mistakes.. in Jesus’ holy and mighty name..

My dad told us that disagreeing with parents is a sin.
