Scientifically, a person's brain isn't fully functioning on a cognitive level until their late twenties. I can't find the correct wording, but basically, most teens are unable to see past the 'now' and determine the long term consequences, good or bad, for their actions or lack thereof. I believe this is what the comment made was referring to.
Stage 3: 7 to 22 years
Stage 3: 7 to 22 years
- The neural connections or ‘grey’ matter is still pruning, wiring of brain still in progress, the fatty tissues surrounding neurons or ‘white’ matter increase and assist with speeding up electrical impulses and stabilize connections. The prefrontal cortex is the last to mature and it involves the control of impulses and decision-making.
- Therefore, teenagers need to learn to control reckless, irrational and irritable behavior. Avoiding drugs, alcohol, smoking, unprotected sex and substance abuse.

You asked for an explanation and I gave you one. If you don't like it, I can't help you. I didn't say it had anything to do with understanding God's word, did I? Nope.
Incidentally:
1. Sentences begin with capital letters.
2. Hole is not the same as whole.
3. It's "Revelation" not revelashon.
4. Puncutation matters.
5. It's dumb, not dum. The 'b' is silent.
6. Witch is a person, "which" is the word you were looking for.
And that is my momentary grammar police moment.
Every moment is a teachable moment, yes? Don't take these forums too seriously. There are ALWAYS going to be people that argue with you and disagree with you. There will ALWAYS be someone who says something to get your goat, kind of like my grammar moments there. And, yes, you will meet bullies on here. Why? Because we're human and we can become overly passionate when we can argue online. That's the way of life.

UNPROTECTEC SEX? WOW look guys sex is ok as long as you where a condom WHAT THE HELL no its not ok sex before marriage is a SIN
Matthew 5:28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart (and that's just with your eys)
Hebrews 13:4Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous
Proverbs 6:32He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself
Ephesians 5:3But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints
chose your words careful so you may not lead someone in to thinking Sex outside of marriage is ok for this is fails.
Quoted from the internet, hence the link at the end. No one said sex outside of marriage is okay. It was a scientific person stating that this is something teens are in danger of doing. Read the whole thing instead of picking out parts to throw like candy at a parade, buddy. Let's not turn this into a spitting contest, yes?
No one is questioning your salvation or your love for God. What you're doing is being overly sensitive (which is why I said not to take these forums too seriously) and picking out things and assuming things...and we all know what happens when we assume, am I right? Just take a step back and breathe. It's fine. No one is attacking anyone here...at least not on purpose. One of the downsides of online forums is that the tone is taken based on how the person is feeling when they read something, not necessarily what the person typing is actually saying or feeling.

Yes, of course. You're the only person ever to read those verses.
And my job isn't to make hubby "man up." He's already a man or he couldn't be a hubby. I'm not out to change him. I'm out to love him and support him. If you're looking to make your hubby a better man -- to fix him -- your marriage is going to get very difficult once you realize you didn't marry the guy you wanted, merely the guy you thought you could fix.

I was the Assistant Maintenance Manager. My primary jobs were to make sure the guys knew where they had to go and what they had to fix, and then do the paperwork to make sure they were all set. Then I was the person who called the exterminators, electricians, the locksmith, and HVAC guy. I also managed the phones. I was the guys' boss.
The Maintenance Manager did some of the jobs and he checked on the guys in the field.
So, exactly why was a lesser for helping him? I wasn't. I was helping him.

How on earth is this a reflection of mature behavior? How on earth is this a reflection of Godly behavior? His post was perfectly understandable. MOSES...you know...Mr. 10 Commandments, "Set my people free," was anxious about the shame and criticism he'd receive for his speech issues so he opted out of that aspect of his calling.
Doesn't it say in Timothy somewhere not to let people malign you because you are young?
I know I sound like a teacher, but this kind of behavior toward a teen and fellow-Christian does NOT demonstrate Christ, nor does it draw that young person toward Jesus. Would you want to hang out with Christians who shame you because you present a contrary idea and then refuse to bow to the clear authority they presume based on their AGE? And isn't it a bit of arrogance and power-mongering to presume that someone should defer to you just because you are older?
Present a compelling argument that deals with the issues at hand. Don't act like a bully and pick on his age, his grammar, his appearance, his location, his ethnicity, his gender, etc., etc. Part of being adult is moderating emotions and acting rationally.

Tongue-in-cheek, humor, folks. Sorry that the subtlety of my humor is lost on you, but if you carefully read the post, you'll see that I was showing him that people can take things too seriously, hence the grammar correction, and for him to not take it too seriously, which you just did, too. This is an online forum full of OPINIONS folks. Don't take it too seriously.
Nice. Okay, whelp, since this is turning into the reading into things and accusing forum post, I'll be checking out of it now. I find great irony in the 'you're not loving' beatings we give. "Hi, Kettle. You're black." said Pot. And, no, that isn't a racial slur, just, you know, because that's where you're going to take it.
Enjoy your time here.
