People argue that children do not have enough responsibility and the concern that

Children are still at school and are less able to preach and help other people and this would be a lot of work to be putting onto a child saying they are still at school a child may be teased at school and at a young age this isn’t very fair as they have made a decision of there own to become a disciple of Jesus and they must have strong beliefs and emotions about this. Also a child wanting to become a disciple can be very inconvenient to people who maybe a non Christian family as they might not be wanting to take there child to church also they might not live close to a church and this very inconvenient to take there child to church every week as they might have any methods of transport if a child cant be a disciple and follow Jesus how can he or she be a Christian a Christian is someone who believes very strongly about Jesus and follows the religion and Jesus .but in some respects this statement is not true as its not about going to church and reaching and helping people all the time children are only children as long as they have FAITH they are very good Christians also Jesus lets anyone follow him for an example he let ordinary men not rich or poor fishermen be his first disciples mark:1:16-28 also an argument against children can be Christians if they aren’t disciples this is untrue as some children are christened as a baby and this makes them Christians also some people may argue that Children today are very responsible as they are growing up much quicker .

I would say that the strongest argument about this statement is that it is true Children cant be disciples so how can they be Christians “

Even if you have faith in the religion how can you not follow Jesus who is the main part in Christianity? Children maybe are growing up quickly but I don’t think they would relies all the consequences of becoming a disciple. Also if a child is brought up in a non Christian environment it will be very hard for the child as his or her family will maybe organizing other things and a child will not be able to preach around the world a child is a young person and maybe will miss there family even if they did go away
