First of all, why are you putting "easy" in quotes? I didn't say the word "easy." I said "children understand the Gospel." Do you deny this?
Are you taught that Scripture is difficult to understand? Is that why the Roman Catholic apologist doesn't enjoy reading the Bible and prefers instead the "black is white" rigmarole of the papacy?
The Bible tells us that faith is able to be perceived and received by children. But you would prefer I don't believe that and instead believe you that what is important is alarmingly difficult to comprehend.
Christ says otherwise. Follow Christ, Marshmallow. His "yoke is easy, and his burden is light."
"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36
Did you read Peter's words about Paul's letters?
Did you see the following four words....difficult.......to.....be ....understood??
Would you like me to post them again??
Why not?? You can never have too much of a good thing!!
And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you: As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
So is it or isn't it easy?
I said "children understand the Gospel." Do you deny this?
I love it when you start to dance around words.
"Children understand the Gospel" is like saying "string is long".
Here, let me try and help.
Are you saying all children understand all the Gospel?
Or are you saying "children can understand the Gospel"? Most certainly they can.
That is quite a different thing from saying that Jesus entrusted the deposit of faith to children, though, right? It's also quite different from saying that children are authorities on Scripture. I can understand Russian but I'm not the ultimate authority on Russian grammar. I'm not the infallible arbiter of the language.
They're two different things. You wouldn't want us confused now, would you?
and Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father;
and he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of David his father, and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, and the carved and the metal images. 2 Chronicles 34:1-3
