Bible Question: WHAT IS THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE SCRIPTURES. |
Bible Answer: Twenty years and up- Here is how I have come to this conclusion. In Exodus 30:11-14, 38:26, these scriptures of the census give the age and amounts due from those counted. Numbers 26:2 is another census and qualifies those of age and able to go to war. Read Numbers chapter 14, and especially verses 28-29, How the Lord would walk them around the wilderness until all the numbered men died. Joshua 5:4-6 , verse 6 talks about the men of war who came out of Egypt walked 40 years in the wilderness, perished because they did not listen to the voice of the Lord. I would say He held these men accountable.It was their children that went into the promised land. |
