Actually I think around 12 is when we become accountable with God. With man we can work when we are 15, fight a war when we are 18 & drink when we are 21.
I honored my dad's advice all my life and I still try to follow the advice of my oldest brother. "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.” (Eph6:1,2,3)

If you’re scared, that’s just your flesh - tell it to “Shut up and bow its knee to Jesus Christ- the Lover of your soul because GOD IS IN CONTROL!”

At 12, a son is to be taught his father’s business - not yet ready to be accountable - according to biblical standards.
Also according to biblical standards - men are NOT to go to war until 20 years old.
This is why I say at 20 years old, every person becomes accountable to God.
Notice God would talk to Moses about the people 20 years old and older would NOT enter the promised land.

God is a God of absolute and perfect Justice. His scales are perfectly balanced. Even man can work within a billionth tolerance. My son is in his senior year of computer engineering with a minor in math. Even when things are wild and out of control the math is always true.
When the Oroville dam almost failed I laughed, because they wanted to follow gradualism and ignore catastrophic theory. I can not remember now how much water pressure they were dealing with but it was the same as the water pressure needed to form the Grand Canyon.

Yes at 12 they have to decide what they want to do with their life. It is a little different in this country because they do not have to choose a major until their third year of college. We had a foreign exchange student from China that began to prepare for college when he was 12. They put him in a special school. He has his degree in engineering now. I was around this age when I started to go to college prep private schools.

These people have ThD's. What makes you think you know more then someone with a four year graduate degree? No one pays any attention to them, but they do put lot of work into what they believe. Martin Luther put a lot of work into his beliefs and they are well accepted today. Do you prefer the independent churches where the pastor is doing good if he has a 2 year associate degree? I am sure he has the Holy Spirit and he can preach a good sermon. But when you go to the two year wonders for advice good luck with that.

To truly see heaven is to totally reject the world, it principles, ethics, traditions, conditioning, and place yourself solely at the grace and mercy of Jesus. Your past sins are forgotten, but the future ones will be judged. Repent. From a very young age (long story) I was set aside for the lord, and have been through much, I even rebelled for sometime, but was always at his side. I returned many years ago, and can seriously say that good works and righteousness will not get you there, sanctification will.

I do not want them to do anything. Actually they are more like wild animals then pets. I have cats, skunks, raccons, possums, squirrels and chipmunks in my rather small back yard. For the most part I observe them and sometimes feed them by throwing our old food out in the yard instead of the garbage can. The only thing I really want from them is a photo.

===================================================
we all hope and pray that this is a 'joke', if not, then you are in some deep .. .. -
if you are claiming to be a true Christian and believing at the same time
that 'God is not in control' of your life/everything, then it would be
obvious 'who' is in control of your' life...
as it is written:
MATT. 6:24.
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
your beliefs go totally against scripture - you have 'cherry-picked' the ones that obviously
suit your, as you have said, 'new thinking' - you not only deny Jesus Christ Words, but Paul's as well...
you are in our prayers...
