Curses His Father Or Mother

Leviticus 20:8-10 – Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the Lord, who makes you holy. “‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head. “‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.

Exodus 20:12,14 – “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you…“You shall not commit adultery.

Ezekiel 18:13 – He lends at interest and takes a profit. Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he is to be put to death; his blood will be on his own head.

Application:

  • ·         Honor means (1) prize highly, (2) care for, (3) show respect for, and (4) obey.
  • ·         One who does detestable things is held responsible for his own sin.
  • ·         Adultery is a sin against God as well as against the marriage partner.
