When I was a child I was only ready to drink milk.
But as I grew older I became able to eat meat.

There was nothing wrong at the time with only drinking milk, but there would be something wrong now if i continued to only drink milk when I am now able to eat meat.

So in the same way, when I was a child my Father in Heaven as well as my Father here on earth both tasked me according to what they knew I was mature enough to accomplish.
As a child I was given tasks that I always was able to perform.
But as I grew older I was then tasked with new things, different than the things I was asked to perform before...

So first i was only allowed to pull weeds, but later i was given the *** of mowing the yard.

In the beginning I was not held accountable for my sins before God, but later I was tasked with the responsibility of understanding the truth about my actions and to respond to the Good News of the blood of Christ and its power to clean my sins away.
My argument totally ****s away all the talk about little kids being born sinners...
