is it true that one mistake erase all the right things that you do?

i dont think i can do that to my only son. I can only guide him or give him advice if he wants to but the decision is still his. and whatever mistakes he will be making i can only encourage him and keep loving him, if there is consequences to what he did still he has to go through with it

Well i think that the parent is being a bit unfair.If your child has always been good and she falls for someone that you dont approve you dont just forget all the rights and hate her.Thats the time you should communicate with her,make her understand why you dont like this guy and what you want.After all love is something of the heart and not the mind.Sometimes parents dont always make the best decision and are not always right.Take her hand and lead her like you did before,treat better than before and allow her to make her own mistake.She may learn to appreciate you even more after all is done.Dont sacrifice you relationship with your daughter because she make this first mistake.

The good deeds of person is not that one to be notice compare to the wrong deeds. Mistakes is always notice and once you commit it the right thing you do disappear. Sometimes you will be judge just because of your mistakes. Committing mistakes doesn't mean you have no right to receive forgiveness, and if we ask forgiveness and feel sorry of what we did, we must also receive it.

As a parent, I don't necessarily want my children to follow what I want. I am not perfect. Even though I know what is best most of the time because of life experience and some gained wisdom over the years, I don't know EVERYTHING. I instruct my children to follow God's will for their lives. By studying their Bible, keeping an ongoing relationship with the Lord and praying with Him, attending church for worship of the Lord and also for encouragement and guidance, letting God be the leader and Lord of their lives. That is the only way they will truly follow the path that will lead them to be people who live to love and serve others and the Lord and who stand up for what is good and right. My children are small, but even now when they make mistakes, I REMEMBER all the good that they have done. Their mistake certainly hasn't erased in my mind all of the good they have done. They do have to deal with the consequences of their mistake. As they get older, they will have to make their own decisions, and I will still be able to have input about them, but I won't be able to force them to choose what I think is best. I will just have to be there for them when it falls apart and they need a shoulder to cry on.
