Bible Note: I think Hank (12-5-01) has made a very sound comment on this point:- I can't agree that a child under the age of three knows that he has done wrong. He may know that a certain action of his brings a frown or a no-no from his mother without really understanding why. But I doubt he has any real sense of wrongdoing, much less any conviction of sin. I further withhold judgment that any child of "3 or so" could be held strictly accountable for his deeds. My wife and I had 3 children and they were, by any measure, the very brightest on our block, of course! But I could not see in any of them at the tender age of 3 or 4 any sign that they had reached the level of cognizance at which they had any genuine concept or conviction of sin or of their need for a Savior. --Hank Hope ypu do not mind me cutting and pasteing you comment Hank as I think it has much to say of Import here? Thank You both Love DBR |
