Why does the Bible say that honoring your father atones for sin?

[NathanH83]

Here it is in the King James version of the Bible:

“For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.
Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins:
And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up treasure.”
-Ecclesiasticus 3:2-4 (KJV)

How does it make sense to say that honoring your father atones for sin?

 

[Josiah]

-Ecclesiasticus 3:2-4 (KJV)

Bait and switch.

More of your rant.... to be followed by no evidence, no substantiation, no nothing.... just baseless claims, pure speculation, theoretical speculations and "what if's?" Never with a point.
