What does the old greek proverb "He who respects his parents never dies." mean?


http://www.quotesandsayings.com/proverbi...

Why does one never dies if we respect our parents?

Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

See also Proverbs 1:8-16; Proverbs 6:20-23

It is God鈥檚 will that children obey their parents. Now, I must say that there is one exception to this rule. If a parent asked you to sin against what the Bible says, then you must obey God (Acts 5:29).

Basically obeying our parents provided that are parents aren't telling us to break the law or God's commandments is what it refers to. By being there for our parents we won't die until we finally do die a mortal death of old age. We may be granted eternal life for our actions which were pleasing to God.

Unruly children who disobey their parents and do not show respect to authority figures, and those in youth gangs for example are doomed to live a life of hell and will die a cruel death with no hope of eternal life is basically what it boils down to in todays society.

To have no fear for example, doesn't mean to live like you are in control of your life and you can do what ever you want but rather that you live your life according to God's rules and have no fear of angering God knowing full well what your future holds as its reward. If I can be so bold as to translate it in my interpretation.

He who respects his parents never die its pretty self explanitory

The Bible says that If you respect your parents you will have a long life....God has our lives in his hands H eknows what we are gonna do before we do it...But you have choices still and if you make the right choices you get rewarded..Ephesian 6:1-4 is says to obey your parents because it is right; honour them because you will have a long life and it admonishes parents not to provoke thier children... I don't know about never dying...that is impossibe it may be talking about everlasting life in heaven instead of hell...

for the ones don't know some Greek Before the word was repeated in Ephesus it was one of ten commadmens of the ancient Greek and they say Tima ton Patera Kai Mitera sou ! thank you.
