[STARTING A NEW THREAD because this discussion was on the "Pledge" thread, and was not really on topic in my opinion]
Does God believe our earthly families are IMPORTANT?
YES: God first! But this in no way means we are to ignore our earthly families in my opinion......for Jesus Himself, in one of His last acts while hanging on Calvary's cross SAW TO IT that His earthly mother was cared for......Believe this?
John 19:25) Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 .) When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 .) Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. 28 .) After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
Is there any doubt that Jesus believed that He should see to it that His earthy mother was provided/cared for once He left this earth?
Do any others here have Scripture showing how God wants us to treat/care for our families? If so, please post them.
God bless......
