Children and Parents

Buck, You may or may not know but Mr. Goose along with others attempts to trip people up and make life difficult for anyone who shows any sort of sympathy with Christianity. This is what the Bible says about parenting and also slavery, but this was not the modern slavery we know about but was more like being a kitchen maid or a gardener in an Edwardian household. The terms and conditions if you want to put it that way are very fair and equatable for everyone concerned and are not at all harsh as some people would like to make out. Here is what the Bible says on the subject:


"Children, it is your Christian duty to obey your parents, for this is the right thing to do. "Respect your father and mother" is the first commandment that has a promise added: "so that all may go well with you, and you may live a long time in the land."

Parents, do not treat your children in such a way as to make them angry. Instead, raise them with Christian discipline and instruction."

(My children should respect me, and as I am the child of my parents I have to respect them as well, it goes all the way through the generations.)

(Ephesians chapter 6.)
