First of all, even though it makes me an outsider, I do not trust what people have said scripture means. So those scriptures to me mean anyone who would curse their own mother and/or their own father is LIKE dead. Because that actually and truly makes sense.WHO SAID THIS??????????????????/ MATTHEW
15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death

And secondly, he was quoting from TRADITION and not teaching his own opinion.
