jt: I've never stated that children could
not be converted John, what
I am saying is that child prophets and child
prodigies are out of character
for the ministry of God's Spirit in the
Church. Children are not responsible
for their own spiritual life under Judaism
until they are at least 13yrs old
and even Jesus who had a full measure of
God's Spirit did nothing publicly
before the age of 30yrs. When did
things change?
marlin:
No change at all.
Judaism is religion and tradition, not the word of God.
jt: I meant Israel and they were God's Old
Covenant Church; they are the
ones who preserved God's Word for our
present generation and yes I
was aware of Samuel but he is the exception;
God was upset and not
speaking to Eli. Even so, we have no record that Samuel was a
boy
prodigy. Did he become the prophet
before he was of age that you
know of?
The Word of God tells of
Samuel long before Judaism developed.
There were other
children inspired of God in the scripture, even from the
womb. Joseph, Samson,
Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Jesus.
jt: OK Joseph had a dream and his brothers
tried to kill him over it. Still
he waited a long time and was sorely tested before it came to
fruition.The
parents of Samson, John the Baptist, and
Jesus were warned ahead of
time that these children would serve God but none of them to my
knowledge
were sent out as a child prodigy. Do
you know of one who was? Even in
the passages below Samuel as a child did not
know who was speaking to
him. Eli had to teach him.
judyt
bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child [was] young. 1SA 3:9 Therefore Eli said unto
Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be,
if
he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 1SA 3:10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. 1SA 3:11 ¶ And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. |
