The punishment for cursing the parents in the
New Testament is death!

1- The
punishment for cursing the parents:
Christians often claim that they're not obligated to follow the Old Testament.
Because they are confused and their Bible is a notorious book in corruptions, man's
alterations and lies, they are left with nothing but confusion and a religion of guessing.
Let us look at what Jesus said in the New Testament:
Matthew 15:1-9
1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from
Jerusalem and asked,
2 "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their
hands before they eat!"
3 Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of
God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses his
father or mother must be put to death.'
5 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, 'Whatever help you might
otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to God,'
6he is not to 'honor his father' with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of
your tradition.
7You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8 " 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"
There are few points to notice here:
1- Notice in verse 3, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for breaking the Commands of
GOD Almighty.
2- In verse4, he used the cursing of parents' punishment as an example.
3- In verses 7,8 and 9, he used a quote from the book of Isaiah in the Old
Testament, to further prove that they are not following the Commands of GOD Almighty.
4- Jesus clearly had a problem with them not following the punishment of death
for cursing the parents. In fact, Jesus himself said:
"Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law
(the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to
fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear,
not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from
the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 23:1-3, Matthew 5:17-18)"
"Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 'The
teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must
obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for
they do not practice what they preach.' (Matthew
23:1-3)"
Anyway, here is what the Old Testament says about cursing parents:
Exodus 21:15
"Anyone who attacks his father or his mother must be
put to death.
Exodus 21:17
"Anyone who curses his father or mother must
be put to death.
Deuteronomy 5:16
16 "Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your
God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the
land the LORD your God is giving you.
Exodus 20:12
12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may
live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
So if we were to be ruled by the Church, as many of the far-right wing from the
Christians wish, then does this mean that the cursing of the parents in the New Testaments
must be punished with death?
Here is what Paul said regarding the ruling authority:
A spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but
he himself is not subject to any man's judgment. (1 Corinthians 2:15)"
Now as a Muslim, I am commanded by Allah Almighty to be very kind to my parents and to
treat them with honor and respect. But no where in Islam is the punishment for getting
out of line with them is death:
"Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but
Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old
age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but
address them in terms of honour. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing
of humility, and say: "My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in
childhood." (The Noble Quran, 17:23-24)"
"We have enjoined on man kindness to parents:
but if they (either of them) strive (to force) thee to join with Me (in worship) anything
of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not. Ye have (all) to return to me, and I will
tell you (the truth) of all that ye did. (The Noble
Quran, 29:8)"
"And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his
parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain
was his weaning: (hear the command), "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me
is (thy final) Goal. (The Noble Quran, 31:14)"
"We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents:
In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The
carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he
reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant
me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my
parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to
me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."
(The Noble Quran, 46:15)"
"And remember We took a covenant from the Children of Israel
(to this effect): Worship none but God; treat with kindness your parents and
kindred, and orphans and those in need; speak fair to the people; be
steadfast in prayer; and practise regular charity. Then did ye turn back, except a few
among you, and ye backslide (even now). (The Noble
Quran, 2:83)"
2-
More irrational and ridiculous statements in the New Testament:
Let us look at the following ridiculous statements in the New Testament:
Matthew 21:21 " Jesus replied,
'I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was
done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw
yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will
receive whatever you ask for in prayer.'" I challenge any
"faithful" believing Christian to move one brick, not a mountain with his sight
or words. Have any Christian from the time of Jesus till now been able to do it?
Mark 16:17-18 "And these signs
will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak
in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink
deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on
sick people, and they will get well."
3- Conclusion:
The Bible and the real Christianity are very impractical when it comes to social laws
and justice. Jesus in the New Testament left the Christians guessing as to what laws
they must follow and what laws they must abandon. No wonder 95% of Christian women
world-wide lose their virginities before marriage. They don't see any clear-cut
commands to direct them as Muslims see GOD Almighty's Divine Commands in Islam. All
the Christians see is rubbish and irrational statements that are too vast to interpret.
So the unanswered question in this article still remains:
What is the punishment for cursing the parents in the New Testament?!
If it's death, then Christians have no right to reject following the Old Testament.
If it's not death, then what else is it, and why?
If we can't even answer this one, then what good is Christianity?
Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind. For example:
1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. See detailed listing here.
Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).
2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for
950 years. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.
3- Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is: - Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2]. - Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (وردة كالدهان)." (The Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.
Quran: All Bibles are mostly of corrupt [1]قول (Quran 10:94 and 10s others discussed). See also the 39+ members of trinity. Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.
"I cannot do anything on my own." (i.e., Jesus could not perform a single Miracle without GOD sending it down to him first!). I can not perform a single Miracle on my own!! I am totally POWERLESS without Allah Almighty!
John 5:31 "if I (Jesus) bear witness of myself, then I would be a liar!"
GOD didn't talk this way when He spoke to Moses. GOD's testimony alone is always sufficient! Jesus also bowed his face down to the ground, like we Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more"; ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in
Luke 6:40) Muslims do everyday, and prayed to GOD Almighty.
