Honor Thy Parents: Sine Qua Non ( "Without which not" )

AI Introduction:  A sine qua non is an absolute requirement or a necessary condition . Without it, a specific goal, result, or state of being is not possible. The term comes from Latin and literally means "without which not".

  A. The Reputations of My Fathers 9 Dec 2025 * If today I slight my father (who passed away on Midsommer of 2007); then I must apologize to my Father in heaven for my sin before I can again worship the LORD. * I never received a punishment or correction from my father that I did not deserve. * The reputations of my father and grandfathers have not one smirch, mar, or stain. There is no record of any witness ever s peaking or writing against them. And my brother, James Jordan Long, can vouchsafe this. * God blessed me beyond measure in the character of my ancestors. Everyone in my community knew this and countless people told me this (people I had never before met (such as old men at country stores way out in the countryside when I stopped in to get a drink of water during a long run. * Therefore, I have no excuse not to do well in life and community. * Therefore, I stand without excuse.

How to Honor Your Father 29 November 2025

Do not disdain your father. The Bible says to honor a king. It also tells us to honor our parents. But, the two commands are not equivalent.

If the Decalogue includes the command to honor one’s parents, then with all the more importance and gravity should one honor a parent than a king. It is easy to see in any culture how one honors a king, with many features held in common. In taking the command to honor one’s parents seriously, we do well to model our honor on the way a king or queen is honored… and then add to it what you can discern of the merit, place and value of a parent in society, plus the status bestowed and required by the Bible.
