    Read and study the context for yourselves and you will discover the answer, brother! </font>[/QUOTE]4study, allow me to translate this for you:

    I don't know how to answer that question so I'll pretend that you just aren't smart enough to see it in the text and hope that you forget the question.

    So you think Brother Bill that children can come to Christ easier because they haven't been hardened by sin?... Where do you get that from... Suffer the little children to come unto me for such is the kingdom of heaven?... Actually what does this teach... Little children to come or believers who have been converted by the Holy Spirit to come as little children?... That is not to say little children cannot be converted to the truth and become believers but most are brought to the realization of their Eternal Salvation as grown believers... Speaking only for myself after much searching... Any other brethren want to comment on their experiences and observations... Brother Glen [​IMG]

    Translation: I still don't know how to answer the question so I'll continue my distractions by making jokes about his translation skills.

    Both are true. Little children are less distracted by worldly lusts and unhardened by sin's exposer. But the second part of this is true as well. We must be like a child to enter the kingdom. In what way? In the way that they believe, in their humilty, in their unhardened hearts.

    If a child is born as hardened as a grown man becomes then why would Jesus say that they need to become like a child? It seems that he would say you need to become like Adam before the Fall or something like that.
