Subject: AGE OF ACCOUNTIBILITY |
Bible Note: Hello Nolan, I looked these words up in an english dictionary and the words are defined just the way I supposed, and intended that they come across. age- the time of life at which some particular qualification, power,or capacity rests.I give as example twenty years old for military service, and accountability for sin. accountability- subject to giving account;answerable. syn. responsible. So by those definitions, I can see in the scriptures I gave previously that those men twenty and older were held accountable for their actions (which was sin to them, disobedience to the Lord), while those younger than twenty were pardoned and not held responsible for the grumblings and disobedience of their fathers.Thereby setting a Biblical precedent of "Age of accountability",I hope this will clear things up for you. Can you give me any scripture to refute what I have explained ? They would be greatly appreciated and would deepen my understanding on the subject. Thank you, wordoer |
