Age of Accountability

Age of Accountability questions

Children are different, because the Bible says that God does not judge us before we come to the age of accountability. Yes, children sin, but they do so in ignorance. There comes a time when children reach the age of understanding what right and wrong is. That’s the difference. 

Scripture says & implies it. Can a newborn understand the gospel and get saved? A toddler, a 5 year old? A mentally challenged 30 yr old? Theres a age of understanding. Think about this: just like the top Jewish leaders didnt understand "no marriage and no married in heaven, nor gender"... so to is accountability age reasonable. Some things are "there" if you connect dots by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual eyes.

Jesus said there'd be no gender being like the angels without sex organs, but.... Scripture never stated it outright. He said it then during the convo. 

For age of accountability 

See Deuteronomy 1:39 , Isaiah 7:15-16, and Psalm 106:38 which indicate that there is indeed a time when a child does not know good from evil. That then implies that God does not hold a child’s sins against them until they learn the difference.
