Exodus 21: 17 And he that curses his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Cursing, and using foul language and expletives are bad enough on their own, but to use them against one’s parents is strictly forbidden, and in the event that it ever takes place, there should be very serious consequences for the child. There are red lines that should never be crossed and if kids cross those lines it is our sacred duty as Christian parents to address the matter seriously.
If cursing at parents goes unpunished, the children will soon lose respect for all God-ordained authority and the practice would morph into situations which cause tremendous embarrassment, and harm, both to themselves and others. Furthermore, any parent who condones such behaviors would find that their prayers for their children would fall on deaf ears, if a definite change in training does not take place.
The commandment which says to honor thy father and thy mother is far reaching in its scope, and also includes the use of courtesy and respect when kids are addressing their parents and seniors. Disrespect has gone viral in our day, but God’s law has not lost its binding force especially for those who may know better.
Leviticus 24:15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 16 And he that blasphemes the name of the Lord, shall surely be put to death and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well as the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemes the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
