He looks interested and patient, anyway. Good for him!
I remember when Anne was about 5, the Bishop asked the gathered children "Who gave you your name?" Anne answered "My godmothers and godfather at my Baptism, wherein I was made a Child of God, a Member of Christ, and an inheritor of the Kingdom of Heaven". The good Bishop looked gob-smacked.
I'll bet the average Bishop garners many such stories over his or her career.
that's cool. i like Biblically intelligent little kids
<pjw begins bragging session. :P>
my five year old brother's just getting round the start of the westminster shorter catechism, he's got,
"what is the chief end of man?" "to glorify God and enjoy Him forever",
"what rule has God given us?" "the word of God contained in the Scriptures of the old and new Testaments"
"what is God?" "God is a Spirit [usually more like "a Piirreet."]"
"are there more gods than One?" "there is one God only, the living and true God [he sometimes varies it a bit here, but he's got the "one God" bit downpat. :)]"
"how many Persons are there in the Godhead?" "three, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. [we're still getting around the "Persons" part, sometimes it's "People" or even worse, "Gods", but he's learning. :), i think he gets the basic concept, there is one God, and the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all this one God]"
my three year old brother [the older one knows all these as well]...
"who made you?" "God."
"Who made all things?" "God."
"how many gods are there?" "one"
"what is God?" "a Spirit [again, more like "a Piiirret"]"
"Who is the Son of God?" "Jesus [for him, it's more like "Jeedah"]"
"Who is Jesus?" "God."
"Who is Jesus' mother?" "Mary"
"What did Jesus die on?" "a cross"
"did He stay dead?" "no, He rose again"
"then what did He do?" "He went back up into Heaven"
"Who is the Holy Spirit?" "God"
"what is the chief end of man?" "God"
asking him what baptism is is pretty amusing, you'll usually get something like "getting water on your head in Church." zac (the 5 year old) will usually add "in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost." they don't know what it means yet, but one day they will. they also know that Holy Communion ("the Lord Fupper" for ben [3], he can't say the "s" sound yet) is bread and wine that we eat in Church to remember Jesus dying on the Cross and rising again for us.
that's beside the other lesser things like "what town was Jesus born in?" "where did Jesus live?"
