It was given by Moses and Paul. Does it stop a bullet? No, but God does. I simply believe God. It doesn't mean if someone dies young, they were disobedient, it simply means as a rule, God makes a promise of long life to those who honor their parents. Simple enough without discounting God's promise I'd think? Would such, for a Christian (Paul's audience) carry into eternal life for the promise? I'd think so.Surely you do not think such a promise would be broken if a good Christian was killed young in battle? Do you think Christian young people who honor their parents are immune from early deaths?
It reminds me of a quote: All people have been/are alive, but not all people really live. The promise from God carries some important points and Paul says it is indeed a promise.
