Could we seriously keep it on topic, folks? It's not a good idea to take advantage of June's holiday cheer, so let's get this thread back to where it's supposed to be, or the holiday infractions will raise their ugly heads!!!

Unless we become as little children; humble, teachable and free from discrimination, we will in no-wise enter his rest.

As we know a child's heart is a humble, a vulnerable heart.... toward the will of God, they know no difference until taught..... right from wrong !!
Coming to Christ in faith with a teachable heart as I believe what Jesus was saying.... as they know not the truth but will believe in His loving authority for their life....

EVEN, a child whose father being evil, they will believe and obey that evil.....

Throwing that scripture out there with discrimination, fault finding in other's means nothing.... but the foolishness of head knowledge !!

That's a miracle. Innocent children are not constantly suspicious of ulterior motives.
A child is taught to make a distinction in favor of, or against a person or thing based on the groups; race, gender, class, category of thought or creed to which their teachers' or parent belong.
R
ather than, that which is written within their own heart. For me, the will of the Spirit is to remain free from the discrimination's of others, whose judgment is not sound.

Do children have to be taught to love their parent(s), unconditionally?
Indeed, Heartsong, children are not normally suspicious of the motivations that reside within others.

"Our heart and head knowledge is to be free of ambiguities."

Such thinking has been the cause of many wars here on Earth; "you are NOT my 'brother' if you don't believe as I do".

For us to coexists no matter our race, religion (or non-religion), sexual orientation, or political view. Maybe one day, we'll get there.

Mathew 12:

46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.


What is the will of the Father?

Never be persuaded to do evil.
