1 | Are little ones trusting, easily led | Matt 18:6 | charis | 66531 | ||
Dear cwade, Greetings in Jesus' name! Just a quick note, as it's pretty late. I don't know if I believe that it requires a 'break from tradition' to say these 'little ones' are faithful disciples of Christ. Many of the commentaries I use are pretty old (after all, they are free, as is e-Sword!). Also, much hisory I read tells me that the norm is to consider children as the 'seed of Adam.' Please note that I trust, as most Christians do, that the children of a believer are held in a special grace. They are not yet capable of taking the responsibility of serving Jesus, yet God honors the parent(s) faith. (1 Corinthians 7:14) My friend, I believe that the 'innocent children' idea is fairly recent. I cannot say when or where it became 'popular,' but it does not seem to be the norm, say, 100 years ago. In any case, my opinion. So far, nobody has given me Biblical confirmation of the 'all children are innocent' theory. :-) In Christ Jesus, charis |

Thank you brother. I misspoke. I should have said the break from "public denominational teaching" instead of break from tradition. | ||||||
