When the youth cast off the reason and direction of their God-given authorities, when they struggle against the protection of His ordained boundaries (taught, however deficiently, by those authorities), they will soon find that their resulting “freedom” comes with its own bars!
We live in a limited world! Limitations will come from somewhere! It finally boils down to choosing which limitations we can and will live with, the most peaceably, without loosing that God given sense of self. I think it best to discover God's idea of which limitations are best for us, and live within those. And, like it or not, those are usually found through His system of authority, beginning with family.
I believe that it is best to bide our time until He frees us. Then we are truly free, and no one can enslave us again. But that realization has been reached after only a mere half-a-century of trial and error, and learning and repentance, so surely those who have been alive barely a couple of decades would know better?
