Hello,
I need some help with few questions.
1) Bible says that children are to obey they're parents. I would like to know how long do I have to obey. I am 23 and will turn 24 soon. I am the only child and live with my mom therefore she is over-worried about me. All my life is infinite list of dos and donts. Living according to 10 commandments is way easier than living according to every her command. Basically she keeps telling me even things like what to eat, how much and what clothes to put on, when I am sweating and water heater haven't been turned on she doesnt allow me to have cool shower because the thinks I might get serious illness. But when I am in dormitory I often have coldest possible shower and never ended up being sick. I am just curious to know how long do I have to obey my mom? The bible does not say anything about it. It doesnt say "children, obey your parents till you get 18+".
2) Does the Bible have any verses that would protect me from being punished more than I deserve? I know I am not perfect and I may do more things wrong than I ever imagine. My issue is that I get punished (by my mom) for every little thing I do. Well that's ok but she's doing it over and over again. If I do something as little as putting package to wrong pile of trash then instead of telling me once that I did wrong she would shout on my at explain over and over again how great mistake it was. When I do something else wrong, she would come back to this over and over again asking and wondering how could I be such idiot. Even if I do something wrong unintentionally I first get to hear how bad I am and then she would come back to it over and over again telling me how I could have done it better. I am not saying that I am a good person but I am also not doing mistakes intentionally. I wonder if there are any Bible verses I could use to protect/comfort myself.
PS! Please support your thoughts opinions with bible verses. Suggestions that are not biblical will be ignored. Thank you.
