Not Gender Neutral

(Proverbs 23:22 KJV)  Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

How many times and how many ways does Proverbs tell us to honor our parents?  How many ways, the Bible?

It is interesting to me that the Bible includes respect for both parents.  I get angry at the politically correct “translators” who go out of their way to remove gender references from the Word.  They change “son” to “child” and so forth.  In so doing they conceal some of the glory of being adopted into the family of God.  There is plenty of reference to both men and women, we don’t need to conform to the standards of our pagan culture.

So?  Honor your parents as father and mother.  Both have roles and contributions.  Accept them and thank God for the difference.
