Do you think it's good to start teaching the gospel to little children ?

It said in the scriptures that ' train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he shall not depart from it'. But in teaching them too early in life , are we not interfering with their free will and choice ?

No conrada1923, you are not interfering with their free will, you are teaching them. Free will is what it is, their choice, you are just giving them one of the choices you made, it will still be up to them whether or not to accept.

if there is a god, and he knows the choices you are going to make before you exist, there is no free will.

The most important thing a parent can do for their children is teach them about the Lord Jesus. They need to know Him and know about Him. They need to go to church and Sunday School. All this is very important. No you cannot force your child to give his/her life to Jesus, but you can instill in them Christian values that they so need. They need to know that God loves them and that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for their sins. They need to know His love. Pray with your children. Read the Bible to them. Take them to church and Sunday School. Teach them to love others and respect others. Teach them to honor God and to obey Him. God bless.

you should teach the children things tht is possible for them to digest and all that you are capable to give the answers of there question. like you give the child mothers milk at the beguning,so that they can digest it well -- if you five him somthing heavy like meal the child would not be able to digest it.you know more of your child.let the child be more religioud then free to accept any believe.good luck
