All the children who have died before they matured enough to make decisions regarding salvation are now with Christ.

Got me to thinking.
What age might that be?
What about the little Palestine kids’ songs, “I’m going to be a suicide bomber, kill infidels and pig Jews.”
Maybe they don’t realize what they are saying?
It’s a good topic for Bible Study.
The debate rages on with that one, but because God makes us individually different, I would surmise that it’s differing ages for each individual.
Jewish Tradition refers to this time of personal responsibility as the Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah. The father of the child is no longer responsible for their behavior and they now report directly to The Lord for their deeds. 13 for boys, 12 for girls.
Just my thought and I could definitely be wrong.
I sincerely pray for those children who do such evil things and don’t realize it.
Weren’t we all like that once?

I would think that the Lord would know their hearts. And if 1 so much as harms a hair...

The parents will be held accountable, Matthew 18:6.
“What age might that be?”
Sometimes we just don’t have the answer, but have faith my brother and sisters whatever it is IT shall be perfect.
Isaiah 55:9
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.
2 Samuel 12:23
“But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
The wife and I will have raised eight kids when the last ones are out of the house and the one thing I have realized is you CAN’T put any certain age of maturity on children or adults, it’s just that simple.
The kids may not realize what they are saying but they will learn. They can't grow up to be terrorists unless they leave Israel. There are Israeli soldiers EVERYWHERE and passport checks are a regular event.
My Texas friend and I visited the Holy Land and thought that it was FABULOUS. It was on a Steve Ray Pilgrimage "In the Footsteps of Christ."
In Israel the Jews and Arabs HAVE to get along. They both love their country.
**The Israeli Mulsim Arabs are hired to do the "dirty work," that is, wash dishes, clean toilets, etc.
**The Israeli Roman Catholic Arabs are restaurant owners, tour drivers, etc., and "go-betweens" between the Jews and the Muslims.
**The Israeli Jews run the country. They partner up with the Arabs because they have to.
It's successful.

It took me a while to get the "ROMAN CATHOLIC PALESTINIAN ARABS through my brain. And, yes, I KNOW that there is no "Palestine" but that is what they call themselves so that is what the Jews and Muslims call them.
