Jesus thought they were fit for heaven.
A child's unconditional trust is what we are to emulate.
Where does it say that?
What you call trust is children's naïvete. They can be easily persuaded, misled, fooled. I doubt Christ thought that was their redeeming feature. The Beatitudes seem to suggest very strongly he didn't.
That's knowing whom we believe...
Children believe strangers because they are naïve and gullible. How is that knowing whom to believe?
..., and that we are not God, but His creation/i>
They don't know unless we tell them. They have to like you to believe you. And if they like a stranger (usually because a stranger has something they want) they will believe a stranger and forget what the parents said about not talking to strangers, which is exactly what Eve did.
That book contains the truth of the prophets and the words of God
If you choose to believe that.
Do you criticize the Jews for that same reason?
I don't criticize anyone for their beliefs, Dr. E. I am only reminding that statements of faith are not necessarily statements of fact.
The Jews believe that God wrote the Torah before the foundation of the world. That is the only word of God they acknowledge. The Prophets are inspired, and lower in author than the Torah (the five Books of Moses), and the Writings are even lower in authority than the Prophets. The Torah is eternal. It cannot be "fulfilled" and replaced. Only the Jews are required to keep the Law because they are the priestly nation chosen by God.
I don't believe any of that, but they do and I don't criticize it unless they insist that I believe it as a matter of fact (which they don't).

KOSTA: Jesus thought they were fit for heaven
Thank you! You have just disproved the EO error that men must be perfected in this life before they experience heaven in the next life.
We are saved in spite of our sins, not because we don't sin.

Not if they are being led by Christ. The Good Shepherd promises not to lose any of His flock.
