Which acts do you think a 15 year old can’t commit that an adult can? Does he have the mentality of an adult? Depends on the adult, if age is the only contributing factor in determining adulthood.

I think a teenager can commit adult acts. From having sex to murder.

It was a rhetorical question. I think teenagers are completely capable of committing adult crimes and acting like an adult, although they clearly lack experience.

For example why is it that a teenager can be tried as an adult for murder but is "just a child" if they spread their legs and have sex outside of marriage?

Both are natural sins. And I see an inconsistency with what man's law says is right and wrong vs. God's view.

Either a teenage is an adult (A young one I will admit if that is the standard) or they are a child. If a child then they are not responsible for what they do. If an adult then they can make decisions like an adult at any level.

I am only pointing out an inconsistency in the logic here.
