For Moses said, "Honor thy father and thy mother."
And whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
But ye say, if a man shall say to his father or mother, "It is korban," that is to say,
"A gift by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me," he shall be free.
And ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother, making the word
of God of none effect through your tradition which ye have delivered.
And many such like things do ye.
Now you say, "Well, what is that about?
Explain to me the korban."
To be honest, I don't really care.
Because whatever it was, it was something that Jesus said is meaningless.
It makes the word of God of none effect.
It's your tradition.
You know what?
I'd rather spend my time figuring out what honor thy father and thy mother means.
And what whoso curses father or mother, let him die the death.
That's a part of the scripture I'm interested in, not what a bunch of unbelieving, Christ-rejecting
Jews were doing in order to ignore what the Bible said.
So I'm not going to go get the towel mud and go figure out what korban means because I don't
really care.
Because whatever it was, Jesus rebuked it and told them it's worthless and that they
need to get back on the word of God.
And by the way, this is Jesus teaching the death penalty.
Because a lot of people will say, well, you know, in the Old Testament the death penalty
was there, but there are a lot of Christians in 2014 that are against the death penalty.
They don't think any crime should receive the death penalty, but here Jesus is reiterating
the death penalty.
And I believe in the death penalty, even today, I believe that murderers, adulterers, pedophiles,
you know, should be put to death.
And today in this country sometimes murderers are put to death, but it's very rarely.
And they just made a ruling of the Supreme Court about five, six, seven years ago that
said no pedophile can ever be put to death, again, in the United States, no matter how
bad they are, no matter what they do, that they'll never put a pedophile to death.
That's ridiculous.
You know, every pedophile should be taken out like a dog and shot.
