Matthew Sucky here with another video on traits of psychopaths, and I want to talk to you
about in this video juvenile delinquency, juvenile delinquency.
Now generally when we talk about a juvenile, we're thinking of the ages of 12 to 17.
The past video I talked about early behavioral problems, and the idea is that they start
to see some kids at a very young age start to really rebel and cause all these problems,
which can be a sign of them actually being a psychopath.
Now the way I look at that from a biblical standpoint is you see kids that rebel against
their parents and rebel against authority, and it gets worse and worse and worse, and
they end up rebelling against God, and at some point they can become a reprobate.
Now I do believe that you can become a reprobate before the age of 12, because
if you have the free will to believe on Jesus, you have the free will to reject
Jesus is the way I look at this, but you really start to see the manifestation
of serious crimes between the ages of 12 to 17.
That is what the world has noticed, but they're not often tried as adults because they're
not yet at the age of 18, so the courtrooms generally go light on them.
The question is, do you see this in the Bible of people that are teens that are
committing these violent, terrible crimes, and the answer to that is yes you do.
Genesis 19 verse 4, it says, Before they lay down, the men of the city, even the
men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from
every quarter.
This is of course the famous story of Sodom and Gomorrah, where you have these
homosexuals that are living in Sodom and Gomorrah, and they see these two
angels come to town, and they believe them to be men, and they come
and compass the house round with a plan of raping or forcing these men.
This is obviously would be a very serious crime as you're talking about
rape, and you know you're looking at people, some of them are older, but a
lot are not, because it says both old and young, and so the young would
indicate somebody who's obviously below the age of an adult, I even believe
below the age of 12, when you're looking at people that are young, you
say, well Brother Stuckey, how do you know that it even goes down to the
age of, you know, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
Well later on in Genesis 19, 11, it says, you know, both small and great.
So in Genesis 19 verse 4, it says old and young, in verse 11 it says small and
great.
Now when you think about people as they grow, generally when
somebody's, you know, about 15 years old, they're about the full height that
they're going to be in their lives.
They might grow a couple extra inches, but they're over 90% of their full
height, their full size.
And so when you're looking at someone who's 15 or 16 years old, you wouldn't
say that they're small generally.
Generally they're at about the height you'd expect as they're, you know, fully
an adult.
And so when you're thinking of small, well generally the ages of, you
know, 12, you know, 11, 12, 13, maybe they have a lot of growing left to do,
but they reach that age of 14, 15, 16, they're generally at their full height.
So when we're looking at small, I'm looking at below the age of teenager,
honestly.
I'm looking at, you know, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
And the idea is you're seeing people at a very young age and people at a very
old age, all throughout that spectrum that are involved in this.
And you're seeing people that have been given over a reprobate mind at a very
young age.
One common example in the secular world of someone who was a juvenile who
committed a terrible crime is Charles Manson.
Of course, Charles Manson is very famous for the Manson family and the
Manson murders.
And even though he did not physically commit those murders, he was basically
this architect that led to all of these murders taking place.
Well Charles Manson actually a long time before that, when he was a juvenile,
he actually committed a terrible crime himself.
So it says, according to Wikipedia, this was when he was 17 years old in
January of 1952.
So 17 years old, between that 12 to 17 age of being a juvenile.
It says, however, in January, he was caught raping a boy at knifepoint.
So we see here that Charles Manson was a, you know, homosexual or bisexual.
And he's raping a boy at knifepoint.
So he has a weapon and he's raping this young boy.
He is a teenager.
He's 17 years old.
You can clearly see at this age, he is already a psychopath.
He's already a reprobate.
He's already been given over to a reprobate mind.
And what he's doing is a violent crime that manifests, basically,
that he has been given up and he is a reprobate.
And so we're seeing in an example with juvenile delinquency,
that in the secular world, you certainly see this with Charles Manson.
They've identified it in the field of psychopathy, and
it does fit in the Bible as well.
As you see in Genesis 19, you're seeing that same violent crime that they
want to do, old and young, small and great.
So we're looking at people of all ages, people from,
probably ranging from eight years old to 80 years old,
somewhere around that spectrum.
And even at a very young age,
you can see that people are given over a reprobate mind.
And certainly at the age of 12, when they're classified as a juvenile or
as a young teenager, it is possible for someone to commit violent crimes.
And of course, if they're a reprobate, they've been given over a reprobate mind,
but it will really start to manifest between the ages of 12 to 17.
So this is what we see in the secular world.
This is what we see in the field of psychopathy.
It is also what we see in the Bible.
Anyways, thank you and God bless.
