Childrens' Obedience Commanded

The Scriptures command children to obey their parents. God has established the natural order of parents raising their children, and children respecting and obeying their parents.

Parents have greater strength, knowledge, wisdom, and experience, which is one reason God designed families so.

Yet our society constantly undermines parents, and lures children to disregard and disobey their parents. The government often barges in and overrides the prudent decisions made by parents for their children, even though only the parents have the intimate and privileged knowledge necessary to choose what is best for them.

The promotion of promiscuity ensures that families will be fragmented, with children not having a father present to discipline and raise them.

Attacks on the family, including interference by courts with the children of good parents, harms the little ones in devastating ways.

Scripture condemns parents who won't take care of their children, and places the exclusive duty upon parents to train, raise, and discipline their children. Proverbs is full of fatherly warnings to a son to avoid sexual impurity, which leads to impoverished children and much trouble.

God commands children to obey their parents, and annexes a promise of well being and long life. It is physically and in every other way dangerous for a child to disobey his parents, or to be drawn into disobedience by others.

Because children have less knowledge and understanding, they often object to their parents' commandments, as depriving them of enjoyments.

Even if a child doesn't agree with his parents, God commands him to obey anyway for his own good.
