		God does not merely put the children of believers in a more advantageous position, so as to make it likelier that they will be saved; but He establishes His covenant with them, so as to be their God.
		The history of the conversion of the penitent thief and of Saul is not the norm for elect children born and reared in the covenant.
		God is the trust of the covenant child, as the rule, from his or her youth (v.5), for God has taught him or her from youth (v.

		A local reporter calling the group the "Children of God" led to their adopting this name, and in one of the spoken prophecies by a member, he referred to Berg as Moses, which is how he took the names Moses, Moses David, and Mo (Melton 1986: 155).
		Berg speculated that God had made children able to marry and reproduce at a young age because it was not inherently wrong and suggested that the traditional "child bride" marriages performed in many past cultures was not a deviant practice.
		The children exhibited no signs of abuse and an Appeals Court judge berated the lower courts for the treatment children and adults received and the broaching of their constitutional rights in the proceedings.

	Are we all God's children, or only Christians?
		Answer: The Bible is clear that all people are God’s creation (Colossians 1:16) but that only those who are born again are children of God (John 1:12: John 11:52: Romans 8:16: 1 John 3:1-10).

		While perhaps Children of God is not as original as The Sparrow, it is not (I am relieved to say) a disappointment.

		That is: the children themselves are possessors of this kingdom; the kingdom is their's.
		This love for the family "believers and their children" is enshrined by God into a normative pattern for Himself in the promise He voiced to Abraham.
		Certainly, those little ones need to be taught Who their God and Father is. But it is not true that they don't really yet belong to God, or belong to God in a lesser sense, until the day they actually themselves believe in the Lord and profess the faith.

	Reading Group Guide \| CHILDREN OF GOD by Mary Doria Russell
		Strikingly original, richly plotted, replete with memorable characters and filled with humanity and humor, Children of God is an unforgettable and uplifting novel that is a potent successor to The Sparrow and a startlingly imaginative adventure for newcomers to Mary Doria Russell's special literary magic.
		This story forces us to face the task of accepting the less theological and more ethical possibility that God may be merely an idea, yet one that still drives a people to live like children of God who place as much faith in a universal family as they do in the divine.
		Children of God engages readers with Russell's provocative themes because it is a fine novel, with a compelling plot, intriguingly complex characters and enough poetry in the writing to convey the heartbreaking tragedy that even the best-intended actions can cause."

		Convinced that "a spiritual education is as important to a full life as an intellectual and emotional education," Wolpe, a rabbi and the author of In Speech and Silence (LJ 9/15/92), offers a sensitive and informed guide to explaining God to children from ages four to 14.
		He asserts that "belief in God affects self-esteem, and searching for God together can help draw a family close." Questions about God come "fast and furious" from young children: questions about who and what God is, what God expects of us, how we can reach God, and why seemingly senseless things happen despite God's existence.
		Even though families may not come up with definitive answers about life, death, joy, sorrow, and God, posing the queries is the first step on a fascinating journey that parents and children will want to share.
