We live in a society that hates children. Most parents in this country want their children to be obedient and compliant. There are two versions of this, one that is very healthy and loving, and one that is abuse. The Fifth Commandment does command children to respect parents, but only in the tense of mutual submission between parent and child. Children first, parents last. The Bible should not be taken at face value.
It says in Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV:
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor thy father and mother, as this is the first commandment with promise; May it be well with thee, and thou mayest live long upon the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to a certain type of surrender to parents where children rest in the care and support of parents, while owing nothing in return to parents. It is a secure attachment to a parent, with said parent sacrificing for their children like Christ sacrificed for His children, expecting absolutely nothing in return. What prompts this surrender? Christian love towards children, as denoted by the Greek root word translated αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to submission to the every need of a child as their enemy, just as mankind is the enemy of God, and must submit to God as an adversary to Him.
The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to the chastening of the Lord, meaning discipline, meaning self-discipline and self-control, modeled to children. It is pro-social behaviorism, in self-applied format, meaning punishing yourself for transgressions you commit against your child. The Greek root word translated "admonish" is νουθεσία (Latin: noutheia) and refers to setting limits and boundaries with a child, such as using the word "no", in which that word should be meted out rarely, and backed up by trust in parents and never punishment. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath" is παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers to child abuse, meaning damages. Abuse of a child is the slightest of personal slights against them, with willful or reckless intent.
A child obeys when you obey their needs and rights, meaning children are a mirror of their parents, and their parents' attitude towards them. If you are entitled towards your children, it shows in their behavior towards you as a parent, and towards others.
Let the parents BURN! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
