I'm 20 years old.. When I was a little kid, my parents would set me on a curfew and they would not open the front door for awhile when i was a little late. Once my mom cut the ADSL line with scissors after being so mad at me for playing video games. Well, things like that.
Now I'm a grown up and they don't say much about what I do. Why can't God be the same way? I'm a grown up and I know what is harmful to me, what is not and how much I can take. As long as I concentrate on my duties and does not harm other people, I don't think he has to give me a list of "do's and don'ts."
Of course he can advise me on my behavior, but why does he have to punish(or discipline) me on small things I do? It makes me feel so guilty and uncomfortable every time. Even if it's because he loves me so much, I feel like my freedom is totally restricted under his rules, just like when I was a 12 year old kid. I know what I'm doing. I want God to treat me like a grown up and stop punishing(disciplining) me on my behalf. Is it even possible?
