Bible Note: Greetings CDBJ! I see what you are saying my friend! At the same time though, some people set the bar too high on the other extreme and make it seem like one must have a Doctor of Theology Degree in order to accept Christ. :) I saw this actually happen once with one of my nephews. He wanted to be born again, but his family would not pray with him because they felt like he was too young. So, he came to me and I prayed with him. I have known of many parents who waited too long because they thought their children were too young to come to Christ. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
