(16) Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
King James Version Change your email Bible version
The second curse spoken from Mount Ebal revolves around the fifth commandment (Exodus 20:12). Exodus 21:17 mandates death for any person cursing either of his parents. It is noteworthy that disobedience to parents is usually not secret, but overt, often blatant. The word here, though, is not “disobey” but “dishonor.” Dishonor can be a disguised response to parents. The hypocrite can feign honor to parents, all the while secretly loathing them.
Along this line, Mark 7:1-13, where hypocrisy is a significant theme, becomes instructive. Some scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem traveled north to ask Christ why His disciples do not follow the oral tradition. They are referring to the halakha, which Peter, addressing the apostles at the Jerusalem Council years later, calls “a yoke . . . that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear” (Acts 15:10).
In His response to the Pharisees, Jesus calls His inquisitors hypocrites, honoring God with their lips while their hearts are far from Him. They worship God in vain, He avers, since they have abandoned “the commandment of God [and hold in its place] the tradition of men” (Mark 7:8). The sin of the Jewish leadership is hidden—not obvious to the populous, which frequently considered the Pharisees and scribes to be pious. Nevertheless, their sin remains one of grave consequence. Christ concludes in verse 13: “Thus [you make] void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down.”
Significant here is the fact that Christ cites the fifth commandment as His example in this discussion (verses 10-12), namely, the tradition that a man is released from the obligation of caring for his aged parents if he dedicates the funds to the Temple. Christ says that doing so is hypocritical and tantamount to dishonoring parents and to violating God’s law.

WASHINGTON D.C. – Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement after once again inviting Mr. Biden and Mrs. Harris to Yuma County to see first-hand the crisis along the southern border. “Exactly 30 days ago, I sent a letter to Mr. Biden inviting him to Yuma County in the southern portion of my district in Arizona to view firsthand the health, humanitarian and security crisis his open border policies have created. Despite the sincerity of my invitation, I have not received any formal response from the White House to my original invitation. My invitation one month ago was as urgent as it was sincere. Mr. Biden recently named Kamala Harris as his “crisis manager” for the border crisis he created. Under her watch, the crisis in Yuma and all along the southern border has only gotten substantially worse. The situation is charitably called a disaster. Therefore, given the ongoing public health, humanitarian, and security crisis, today I renew my invitation to both Mr. Biden and Mrs. Harris to visit Yuma County to see first-hand what my district and constituents are experiencing from this unprecedented surge of illegal alien border crossings,” concluded Representative Gosar. A copy of the letter to Mr. Biden can be viewed HERE. |

WASHINGTON D.C. – Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement in response to the Biden Administration’s decision to remove all American troops from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. “It’s not often I agree with Mr. Biden or his views on foreign policy, but this is an exception. For twenty years, America has been engaged in an endless war in Afghanistan, costing thousands of American lives with a price tag over $1 trillion. We have defeated our enemy. We must continue President Trump’s mission to put America first and put an end to forever wars. Mr. Biden’s decision will allow for our military to focus on the threats from other enemies, especially Russia, China, and Iran, who will stop at nothing to undermine American sovereignty. Endless wars come at a great cost to the brave men and women in uniform willing to die for our country. It’s long past time to bring our troops home,” said Rep. Paul Gosar. |

Gosar Files Response to Jayapal’s Frivolous Complaint: “Alleging that I have somehow acted criminally, or against the country I love and protect, is defamatory and reckless. The civil courts will resolve that issue.” Washington, D.C. – Congressman Paul Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement in response to Representative Pramila Jayapal’s frivolous complaint concerning the events of January 6, 2021: “Today, I submitted in writing to the House Committee on Ethics my statement in response to the baseless complaint filed by Ms. Jayapal. On January 6, 2021 I determined to invoke the Electoral Count Act of 1887, and the 12thAmendment to the United States Constitution, to object to the certification of Electors from Arizona. This is neither calamitous nor unethical. Indeed, in 2016, Democrat Members of Congress, led by Rep. Jayapal, invoked the same law to object to the certification of the 2016 Presidential election of Donald Trump. The illegitimacy of Ms. Jayapal’s claims, when she herself called for an objection of President Trump’s certification in January 2017 is duplicitous and tendentious. I have at all times conducted myself credibly and well within the acceptable norms of Congress. The assertion that I planned, created, assisted or otherwise participated in the riot on January 6 is malicious and patently false. Ms. Jayapal is fundamentally wrong. Her Complaint is frivolous, ill-conceived and defamatory,” concluded Rep. Gosar. Click HERE to read my full written response to the House Committee on Ethics. |
