My Bible says that those who curse father and mother are committing a mortal sin:
Matthew 15
4 Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.
Mark 7
10 For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.
Exodus 21
17 He that curseth his father, or mother, shall die the death.
Leviticus 20
9 He that curseth his father, or mother, dying let him die: he hath cursed his father, and mother, let his blood be upon him.
Proverbs 20
20 He that curseth his father, and mother, his lamp shall be put out in the midst of darkness.
Douay-Rheims Bible / Search
A mortal sin is one which leads to the death of the soul.
1 John 5
16 He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask.
But if you can show me from your Bible, I'll try to explain the meaning in Christian terms.
Sincerely,
De Maria
