A child means the soul not harming anybody in the society


As per bible why children are said to be as pure as God.


The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven[Matthew 18:1-5]

[18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them.

3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.]


EXPLANATION



Swami Replied: A Child is soul returning from hell after maximum reduction of intensity of sinful nature as seed (Rajas and Tamas) not expressing even a sprout. The seed never harms the society. Hence, a child means the soul not harming anybody in the society. Even an adult human being in which the sinful nature is only in the state of seed without any expression is an eternal child. The four greatest devotees of Nivrutti (Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatkumara and Sanatsujaatiya) always appear as children forever. These four have the privilege to see God at any time without the permission of the gate keepers also! Any trace not expressed to affect the society can be treated as almost nothing. The pure Sattvam quality along with traces of Rajas and Tamas can be treated as 100% pure Sattvam since the error is in negligible range. No quality can be absolutely 100% pure. Hence, children are said to be as pure as God.

Children are selfish creatures, they are not harmless as they are interested in entertaining themselves and will bully other kids to take their toys.

You neglect other aspects of children.
1. They are utterly dependent on their parents to survive.
2. They trust their parents completely at their word.

The highest state of christian devotion is being completely dependent on God and trusting his every word.

I should also mention that Children love their parents unconditionally, and the parents do likewise.
