You can be a "Born Christian" ?

Interesting. Very informational .. thank you.
I think we should get representatives from each denomination to tell us more about their sect.
I dunno much about baptist .. heck who is their founder? -
Every word from the word of God forms truths to people, so if he/she misinterpretes a passage - teaching/impression is casted onto the young.Originally posted by davidche:I think they dont even teach any theology. All they do is take a bible story, then summarise and say what can be learnt.
Eg, Story of Jonah and the whale/fish.
'Little children, what can you learn from Jonah?
If you're naughty, God will put you in the fish's belly and there are darkness....so you shouldn't be disobedient.'
And the kids are deep in thoughts, seem to ponder hard over the lesson.
MC Peng sanned....
The young will embrace whatever 'truths' that was taught and grow by it.
That itself, is a theology formed.
Each word that is delivered from the bible is a tool, and have the power to form another person's opinion of Christianity.

Actually the teacher is right.
If Jonah wasn't naughty .. would he land up in the big fish?

it wasn't that simple. God placed Jonah in the fish for certain reason.

Presentating foundations of Christian values onto younglings is paramount.Originally posted by Icemoon:at their age .. they can't absorb the whole truth.

We aren't talking about the whole truth.
But the very least, present truths in the simplest way.
Not half truths. Or untruths. -
I know what you mean, but i dont know what reason Jonah was put into the whale's belly except for disobidience. Isnt the purpose to punish Jonah?Originally posted by M©+square:Implications implications implications...

i think mc2 was talking about the significance.Originally posted by davidche:I know what you mean, but i dont know what reason Jonah was put into the whale's belly except for disobidience. Isnt the purpose to punish Jonah?
Outwardly the reason is disobedience but God was trying to tell Jonah something. -

'Little children, what can you learn from Jonah?
This part, its almost like using God as the "bogey man" to frighten the kids.
If you're naughty, God will put you in the fish's belly and there are darkness....so you shouldn't be disobedient.'
like what Mc had said, present the lesson in a simple manner, and don't try to add "salt and pepper" into it.
when I was teaching in the children church, I had often had to struggle with this, on how to present the truth of the gospel to these young children in a simple manner for them to understand, yet without adding "spices" to it.
in this case, the part that saysIf you're naughty, God will put you in the fish's belly and there are darkness
should not have been added, cause its without any solid base. -
this topic has drifted too much.....

*what do you expect for the few of us to be doing so late into the night? OOT loh -
Yes OOT liao.
The defense of educating the Kids and Youths should be addressed.
When one realises the value and dynamics of the young people in church. No longer will SS and youth ministry be looked down upon.
Not many Adult sees the hidden strength which could lead the church to higher levels.
Sorrie! OOT!!!!
MC siam....

I only know to us, it is to tell us something about Christ. -

I never believe that a Non Christian should teach a Christian.

You are not a Christian. You are a disciple!
