The Holy Trinity is accepted by all Orthodox Chistians the age of accountability is not. Just felt it took away from the rest of your presentation needlessly.

Well I accept that criticism. When and what age or level God holds us resposible for before we are REALLY held to an account is an arguable point and probably a little different for each person as God himself would be the arbiter.
The concept probably didn't need to be mentioned, but on the other hand it flies in the face of just plain common sense, in light of what we know about the mercy of God that He would send a ten year old to hell, if he died. (Or that he might have forgiven an adulterous and murderous King David).

It's all about Mercy...God really is trying to show us more simple truths and simple mercies...we humans tend to gobbledy gook those truths up, so Christianity looks more formidably complicated than it has to be! Seek his heart!
