Default "Let Children Come To Me"

"Let The Children Come To Me And Do Not Hinder Them" Matthew 19:14

Ok, following the example from my other thread "The Two meet", I will re-write this saying.

Let all the children come to me. - Jesus refers to himself, Jesus is God, and God's name is "I Am"

Let all children come to "I Am"

According to jewish tradition, children reach the age of accountability at ca. 12 years old. From this time on children is considered old enough to understand the concept of "Sin" and can be held accountable for any actions that are sinful.

What happens with children when they reach the age of 12, on average?

Abstract thinking is introduced, children below this age, on average, have difficulty thinking abstract.

A sense of Self, or I Am is established, the young rebels against their parents.

The brain starts not developing new cells. The brain reaches it's zenith around this age.

Some children reach this sooner and others later.

Is Jesus saying that children should reach this "I Am" in their life? And that we as parents shouldn't hinder them in establishing an own sense of self?


Notice how girls mature before boys.

Does girls "eat" of the tree of knowledge before boys?

Can girls help what is inborn in their nature?


Why are girls credited in the bible to have eaten of the tree of knowledge first? Because God created girls in this way?

Is it because girls/womens position in those days, were less appreciated and as a result they were diminished in their worth in the bible, and why many men say that women are the root of all evil and that men should rule?


Why is it a problem that women mature faster than boys?

Why is it a problem that women in general reach the "I Am" or self-awareness before men?




Is their a correlation between these things?
