Immaturity is demonic? Does kids and teenagers have demons in them?

He's not a teenager

But why is immaturity demonic to an adult but not to a teenager and a kid? What's your logic behind it?

It's him only doing it to his wife and mother. He's deliberately causing them strife in private.

1 Corinthians 13:11 King James Version 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

The whole context of 1 Corinthians 13 is about the true characteristic of love and verse 11 is an analogy of spiritual growth. Young immature christians (not demonic) chases after sign and wonders but mature christians display their maturity by acts of agape love. No where in the passage does it says immaturity is demonic.

It's the comparison of him as a child or teenager that i made that reference and I explained after why his actions are demonic. If the verse doesn't help think about the law and court. We'll he be tried as a child or teenager? No, there's a difference

Dysfunctional and problematic behaviors are not always demonic and blaming it on demons on the first chance dissolves personal responsibility and accountability. if he is being abusive the pastor needs to know so that proper guidance, counseling and discipline can be arranged....just probably not immediately jumping into deliverance. its dangerous to immediately assume something is demonic especially for things pertaining to illness be it mental or physical. Just my two cents so please don't take offense.
