He's doesn't understand that his choices are of the world and not Godly, but because he's a good hearted person he can't see what he keeps doing wrong.

the purpose of this questions is that my "son" is questioning me on God's plan and desire for him and even though I explain it to the best of my ability and walk the example to the best of my ability, I find myself blank on certin verses that may help him when he does question me.

Rom. 1:20 and Col. 2:8. One talks about all nature knowing there is a God and the other about the vain philosophy of man.

What precisely doesn't he "get?" And what is he doing wrong?
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."
Proverbs 16:3
"That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil-this is the gift of God."
Ecclesiastes 3:13

You can't make anyone "get it" unless they want to, and that applies to most things, not just Christianity.
Just live your faith and be a friend to him. If he asks you about it, then tell him, but don't try and force your beliefs on him.

Maybe you should start with the ones written by 10th century monks as a means of controlling the population through zealotry. Dogma is for spiritually empty people.

just state the beliefs respectively and also respecting his/her beliefs, dont revert to scripture b/c you ran out of material, think on it and I guess as some do pray, meditate, sacrifice something, whatever helps to inspire you to find your own words of honesty and not just citing a book.

Leviticus 24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
That ought to show him!

Don't try. Just be his friend and live your beliefs. When he asks a question answer it as honestly as you can.
