I think there’s a New Testament verse indicating such a thing . . . and I agree that it’s individual between each individual and God—and varies with each child.

What I mean is that I can say that we are to have a one on one relationship with God according to Biblical support. (The curtain in the Holy of Holies was rent, thus showing that the sacrifice of Christ gave us direct access to the Lord, no more going through the high priests for forgiveness).

What I don't see is that there is an individual standard for accountability to sin. I could argue, using the Bible, the exact opposite. That is we all, from birth, with or without knowledge of the Law, are accountable for our sin.

But, if there is a passage indicating otherwise, I would like to know. What New Testament passage indicates that it is individual and varies from child to child.

BTW... as far as the article goes, which I did read, I had a bit of a problem with the following:

David p100: "I did write songs of my experiences, like a lot of other people do. But the better ones are when I allowed the lordship of God in me to come out more than the trouble that I spoke about."

" . . . I wish I had written more songs about God's answers than about my problems."


I assume that he is refering to the Psalms of David, which makes me skeptical of the testimonty outright. As I understand it, all scripture is from God, through men. The penning of the psalms, even the ones about trouble, are meant to be used to interpret other scripture, teach about the character of God, edify those who believe, relate experiences to other believers, and tell of the coming of Christ (OT).

So David regrets that?
