1	18 yr old son seeing 27 yr old - HELP!!	Prov 7:6	proffitt_79	85643
	Your son's appeal to a higher court, the Bible, is amusing becuse it shows at once both his wisdom (if he is to apply this appeal to ALL his decisions) and his immaturity. Being raised in a christian home, he knows that there is no scripture that direcly addresses his situation and that he has you "trapped". He must be reminded that, while God's Word may not explicitly forbid his relationship with an older woman, it does command his obedience to you, his parents. Romans 1:30 includes disobedience to parents among "those things which are not fitting", listing it along with murder, pride, strife, deceit, and much worse. If your son is to be consistent in his reasoning, he must heed the Bible's command and obey you while he still lives under your roof. a suggestion: Your son has been put in the position of being a pseudo-father figure to the child of the woman he is dating, both to her and the child. He no doubt knows this, though he may not readily admit it. He may even find it exciting to be trusted with such responsibility, for fatherhood itself is indeed a position of honor. Play on his sense of responsibility by reminding him that the relationship is not only unhealthy for him, but for the child much more so.
