Christians, Jews, and even non-Christians are often able to tell you ten commandments if you ask them. Among the ten, the first commandment says “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:2-3). Keeping this in mind, when we look in the book of Ephesians, written by Apostle Paul, he stated that  we should “‘Honor your Father and Mother’ – which is the first commandment with a promise.” (Ephesians 6:2). Why did  Apostle Paul say it was the first commandment with a promise, when the commandment to honor your father and mother is actually the fifth commandment. Do you think Paul was unaware or made some sort of mistake? From your own point of view does that make any sense? We must understand this and all verses correctly. The first commandment to “have no other gods” and “honor your father and mother” go hand in hand as the first commandment because God the Father and God the Mother are the Almighty Elohim God. Paul was correct in what he wrote because when we believe and follow our God our Father and God our Mother we come to reject all other gods of our imaginations, and are able to receive the promise, that is eternal life. (1 John 2:25).
