Uh, no...actually the "in the Lord" in that verse is applicable to the children, not necessarily the parents. You are quoting that out of context. Its "obey...in the Lord", not "parents in the Lord". It's another way of saying because YOU are a Christian, obey your parents, because this is the expectation of you as a Christian. It has nothing to do with how your parents treat you or whether they are Christian or not, and it's certainly not giving children the option to disobey. Children, be obedient to your parents as a Christian duty, for it is a duty. (Weymouth) Children, obey your parents because you are Christians. This is the right thing to do. (God's Word) Children, obey your parents as you would the Lord, because this is right. (Holman) Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. (NLT) @@ (yep, I'm rolling my eyes at you.) You can roll your eyes all you want; but that's not an argument. It says what it says!
