I come into the blog commenting on this subject late … following a thread from this place or that.

The most important thing … given the extreme quality of some of these comments … is to suggest to yourself that if “this” be “the enemy” … not declared by me … but declared by “them” .. then I shall move to The Top Of My List each and every person who appears to have spewed something that looks a great deal like “from the devil.”

Let Go And Let God
God shall have the vengeance which includes saving these souls if they can abide.

William said he is glad HE MADE the decision to be a Christian.

Toddler's can't make decisions. What if he "decides" that he's gay?

Bobcat. My son loves Christmas. He gets to blow out Jesus' candles on the birthday cake.

Santa who?

Todd and Martha and Downstream:

Thank you for wading through the comments and negative blasts to speak encouragement and the Word.

I will NOT deny my faith.

“faith” = belief without any proof or evidence

God bless your family and keep you.

If you manage to wade through the other sad comments to get to this one, I just want to encourage you in your faith. It is precious and the most important thing in life. It is why we are here..to grow in our connection to God and learn to live as extensions of Him and His love.

Have you informed him Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are not real? Belief in false gods like them will jeopardize his immortal soul.

For all believers in Jesus Christ:
“But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him.” 1 Cor. 2:9
If you guys are right in what you are “preaching”, then none of us have anything to worry about, right? BUT, if we (followers of Jesus Christ) are right in our beliefs, then you have a lot to worry about!! Open up your minds and think about it!
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Phil. 2:10,11

He made the decision himself.

For some reason that is difficult for some to grasp.

Here is faith....literally a child's faith...Sorry you don't see it that way.

I guess it's hard to explain to someone who does not know Jesus how real this is to my son. You can't see him at night reminding me to say our bedtime prayers or to hear his precious voice pray the 23rd Psalm at night with such conviction, now after being a Christian and experiencing trauma of losing his home.

That's ok. Jesus is real to him....and to me.
We will pray for you.

Your faith in Jesus isn't in question, you're obviously far too far down the line for that to be any kind of constructive conversation. Your child, however, should be given a chance to think about these issues for himself when he is old enough to think logically and rationally about them.

Watching him, in real time, being deprived of that freedom of choice by the very person he trusts most in the whole world, is painful viewing for those of us who once thought as you do, with an idealised, overly simplistic world view, which bares no resemblance to reality.

Weather you think he belongs to you or not, under the law of the land, he belongs to no one. He is an individual with human rights and it should be the duty of anyone looking on from the outside at what you are doing to him to intervene and protect him from you until such time he is capable of deciding for himself if he chooses to base his life on bronze age myths or the awesome truth and unfathomable majesty of the universe which we all share.

That is not a decision for you to make on his behalf and if you think it is, you're even more in need of help than he is.

Train up a child in the way they should go…. Theresa, it amazes me the hatred spewed by folks that choose not to believe. So very sad and thank you for sharing this special moment with us.
