Among these verses there is a saying, "Honor your father and mother, this is the first commandment with a promise."
I did. According to this verse, the fifth commandment of the ten commandments was introduced as the first commandment.
I say this because it is the first of the commandments that God has given concerning the conduct of man.
That's right. The commandment of “honoring parents” is the first commandment. The commandment of “honoring parents” is the next given
It is the most important commandment among the 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 commandments, and it is the commandment that is the basis of those commandments.

It will never happen again on this earth. Not only in Korea, but in the US as well.
I didn't like my father, that he was nagging, that he murdered him,
There was an incident.

It is the heart of parents. A life relationship that combines sacrifice, love, and character is a relationship between parent and child.
It is the string that binds them together.
In this way, God said to the children who were loved by their parents, "Honor your parents, and your God
You may live long in the land the LORD is giving you” (Exodus 20:12).
I would now like to explain the words of this commandment. God has commanded you to honor your “parents”.

Respect is certainly not an easy task.
There is even a saying that "there is no filial piety for long-term care". In this case, how much "respect for parents" is
Would it be difficult for me? But you must. Why?
First, we must do it because it is a command from God.
This is clearly a command from God. Possessive personality trait, impersonal person, dishonest person, alcoholic, drug

Third, I must do it for my children's education about myself.

It shouldn't be like this, but I don't know if it's possible that I myself will become old and lay down with an incurable disease.

When I am strong, when I am strong, if I abuse and despise my weak and weak parents without respecting them,

How, then, can we honor our parents as children?
