cjsmithy: Thanks for your question and welcome to you. There may be such a thing as "an age" of accountability to God, but it is better expressed if we call it a "state" of accountability, or a time in one's growth process at which he becomes accountable (responsibile) for what he thinks, says, and does. Obviously this "turning point" differs from one individual to another and may never be reached at all by persons who suffer from severe retardation or other traumatic and pronounced loss of mental acumen. But to fix the "age of accountability" -- e.g. at 12 years of age -- arbitrarily is very wrong. There are some good thoughts -- and not-so-good! -- on this subject available to you in the Forum archives, which you may view by going to Search and in the box typing in the single word, accountability. --Hank | ||||||
