No Exceptions

Before God created anything, the Word existed: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1).

 God's written Word penned by men, inspired by the Holy Spirit thousands of years ago, still holds true today; it is eternally changeless. But sometimes, people change its message to suit personal, fleshly desires. For example, because their loved ones are a priority, some parents (and grandparents) bend the rules by dismissing their children's wrong actions, making exceptions for their behavior. Some adults believe their circumstance is "special" and deserves the privilege of bending God's Word. But if the Bible says an action (or inaction) is wrong, then it is wrong, no matter how you choose to spin the narrative. If you say God told you to do something contradicting His written Word, it wasn't God speaking to you. He will not—He cannot lie against Himself.

God's love is perfect, a tender yet tough love, an everlasting love; a love our finite minds cannot understand this side of heaven. Though we are precious in God's sight, we do not get a free pass to bend His Word. Bending is breaking. God has not changed: He is the same God from yesterday and today and will be the same forever  (Hebrews 13:8).
