John 13:33
Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.


Why did Jesus, a 33 year old man call grown up men such as Simon Peter and Matthew Little Children?

Thanks for answering

Jesus has always preached that people become just like children; humble, meek, and lowly.

Bible wasn't written in English and the true meaning of the original word got lost in translation,I guess¿¿¿

Because they are of the Kingdom of God and in the Kingdom of God, there are no men or women of God. Instead there are children of God and Jesus Christ is the First born and Head over them all.

What this invariably tells you is that those who call themselves men and women of God are not of Him.

SHALOM!

Y'SRAELITE PARENTS HAD JUST ONE JOB- TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN THE WAY OF GOD BETWEEN THE AGES OF 13 THROUGH 20.

. EXODUS 20:1-7.

AND God Spake
all these Words,
Saying,

2. "I am The LORD thy God,
Which have brought thee
out of The Land of Egypt,
out of The House of Bondage.
3. "Thou shalt have
no other gods before Me.

4. "Thou shalt not
make unto thee
any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing
that is in Heaven above,
or that is in the Earth beneath,
or that is in the Water
under the Earth.
5. "Thou shalt not
bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them:
for I the LORD thy God
am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity
of the Fathers
upon the Children
unto the Third
and Fourth Generation
of them that hate Me;
6. "And shewing Mercy
unto thousands of them
that love Me,
and keep My Commandments.

7. "Thou shalt not
take The Name
of the LORD thy God in vain;
for the LORD will not
hold him guiltless
that taketh His Name
in vain."

ALL HUMANS BORN ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD FOR THE INIQUITIES OF THEIR PARENTS, THEIR GRANDPARENTS, AND THEIR GREAT-GRANDPARENTS.

. NUMBERS 15:27-31.

27. "And if any man Sin
through Ignorance,
then he shall bring
a She Goat of the first year
for a Sin Offering.
28. "And the Priest
shall make an Atonement
for the Soul
that Sinneth Ignorantly,
when he Sinneth
by Ignorance
before The LORD,
to make an Atonement
for him,
and it shall be
forgiven him.
29. " Ye shall have one Law
for him that Sinneth Ignorantly
(both for) him
that is born
among the Children of Israel,
and for the Stranger
that sojourneth
among them.
30. "But the Soul
that doeth
(ought) presumptuously,
(whether he be)
born in the land,
or a Stranger,
the same reproacheth
The LORD;
and that Soul
shall be cut off
from among his people.
31. "Because he hath
despised The Word
of The LORD,
and hath broken
His Commandment,
that Soul
shall utterly be cut off;
his Iniquity
(shall be) upon him."

SHOULD THEY HAVE FAILED TO ACHIEVE SINLESS SELF-DISCIPLINE BY AGE 20, THE DAUGHTERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD INTO SLAVERY OR MARRIAGE- BUT THE SONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUMMARILY EXECUTED.

. EXODUS 21:1-11.

"Now these are the Judgments
Which thou shalt set before them.

2. "If thou buy
an Hebrew servant,
six years He shall serve:
and in the seventh
he shall go out free for nothing.
3. "If he came in by himself,
he shall go out by himself:
if He were married,
then his wife
shall go out with him.
4. "If his master have
given him a wife,
and she have born
him sons or daughters;
the wife and her children
shall be her master's,
and He shall go out by himself.
5. "And if the servant
shall plainly say,

"I LOVE MY MASTER,
MY WIFE, AND MY CHILDREN;
I WILL NOT GO OUT FREE:"

6. "Then his master
shall bring him
unto the judges;
he shall also bring him
to the door
or unto the door post;
and his master
shall bore his ear
through with an aul;
and He shall serve him for ever.
7. "And if a man sell his daughter
to be a maidservant,
she shall not go out
as the menservants do.
8. "If she please not her master,
who hath betrothed her
to himself,
then shall he let her be redeemed:
to sell her
unto a strange nation
he shall have no power,
seeing He hath
dealt deceitfully with her.
9. "And if He have
betrothed her unto his son,
he shall deal with her
after the manner of daughters.
10. "If he take him another wife
her food, her raiment,
and her duty of marriage,
shall he not diminish.
11. "And if he do not
these three unto her,
then shall she go out free
without money."

.    DEUTERONOMY 19:18-21.

18. If a man have
a stubborn and rebellious son,
which will not obey
the voice of his father,
or the voice of his mother,
and that,
when they have chastened him,
will not hearken unto them:
19. Then shall his father
and his mother
lay hold on him,
and bring him out unto
the Elders of his city,
and unto the gate of his place;
20. And they shall say
unto the Elders of his city,

"THIS OUR SON
IS STUBBORN AND REBELLIOUS,
HE WILL NOT OBEY OUR VOICE;
HE IS A GLUTTON,
AND A DRUNKARD."

21. And all the men of his city
shall stone him with stones,
that he die:
so shalt thou put Evil away
from among you;
and all Israel shall hear,
and fear.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, THESE COMMANDMENTS WERE NOT CARRIED OUT- THEREFORE, Y'SRAELITES WERE USUALLY NEVER NORMAL ADULTS!

. DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20.

19. I call Heaven and Earth
to Record this Day
against you,
that I have set before you
Life and Death,
Blessing and Cursing:
therefore Choose Life,

that both thou
and thy Seed may live:

20. That thou mayest love
The LORD thy God,

and that thou mayest obey
His Voice,

and that thou mayest
cleave unto Him:

for He is thy Life,
and the Length of thy Days:

that thou mayest
dwell in the Land
Which The LORD Sware
unto thy Fathers,
to Abraham,
to Isaac,
and to Jacob,
to give them.

. 2^nd CHRONICLES 16:9.

9. "For The Eyes of The LORD
run to and fro throughout
the whole Earth,
to show Himself strong
on behalf of those
whose heart
is perfect toward Him.
Herein thou hast done foolishly:
therefore from henceforth
thou shalt have wars.”

.   ISAIAH 55:7-9.

7. Let the Wicked
forsake his Way,
and the Unrighteous Man
his Thoughts:
and let him return
unto The LORD,
and He will have Mercy
upon him;
and to our God,
for He will abundantly pardon.

8. "FOR MY THOUGHTS
(ARE) NOT YOUR THOUGHTS,
NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS
MY WAYS," saith The LORD.
9. "FOR (AS) THE HEAVENS
ARE HIGHER
THAN THE EARTH,
SO ARE MY WAYS
HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS,
AND MY THOUGHTS
THAN YOUR THOUGHTS.' "

.   AMOS 3:3.

3. "Can two walk together,
except they be agreed?"

. ZECHARIAH 4:10.

10. For who hath despised
The Day of Small Things?
For they shall rejoice,
and shall see the plummet
in the hand of Zerubbabel
with those seven;
they are The Eyes of The LORD,
Which run to and fro
through the whole Earth.

NORMAL Y'SRAELITE ADULTS WOULD HAVE ACQUIRED THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD BY AGE 20, AND AS SUCH, BE IMMUNE FROM TEMPTATION.

The disinformation that they were, which any normal Gentile would accept, is inserted at the outset of the OP, so that the readers would be deceived, and totally misunderstand Lord Yeshua's Teachings.

14. "Thou shalt not
curse the deaf,
nor put a stumblingblock
before the blind,
but shalt fear thy God:
I (am) The LORD."

18. "Cursed be he
that maketh the blind
to wander out of the way."

And all the people shall say,

"Amen."

NOW these are
The Commandments,
The Statutes,
and The Judgments,
Which The LORD your God
Commanded to teach you,
that ye might do them
in the land whither ye go
to possess It:
2. That thou mightest
fear The LORD thy God,
to keep all His Statutes
and His Commandments,
Which I Command thee,
thou, and thy son,
and thy son's son,
all the days of thy life;
and that thy days
may be prolonged.
3. Hear therefore,
O Israel,
and observe to do (It);
that it may be well with thee,
and that ye may
increase mightily,
as the LORD God of thy fathers
hath promised thee,
in the land that floweth
with milk and honey.
4. Hear, O Israel:
The LORD our God
is one LORD:
5. And thou shalt love
The LORD thy God
with all thine Heart,
and with all thy Soul,
and with all thy might.
6. And these Words,
which I Command thee

shall be in thine heart:
7. And thou shalt teach Them
diligently unto thy children,
and shalt talk of Them
when thou sittest
in thine house,
and when thou walkest
by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
8. And thou shalt bind Them
for a sign upon thine hand,
and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
9. And thou shalt write Them
upon the posts of thy house,
and on thy gates.

ALL The Commandments
Which I Command thee
this day
shall ye observe to do,
that ye may live,
and multiply,
and go in and possess the land
which The LORD Sware
unto your Fathers.
2. And thou shalt remember
all the Way which The LORD
thy God led thee these forty years
in the wilderness,
to humble thee,
and to prove thee,
to know what was in thine heart,
whether thou wouldest
keep His Commandments,
or no.
3. And He humbled thee,
and suffered thee to hunger,
and fed thee with Manna,
which thou knewest not,
neither did thy fathers know;
that He might
make thee know that

"MAN DOTH NOT
LIVE BY BREAD ONLY
BUT BY EVERY (WORD)
THAT PROCEEDETH
OUT OF THE MOUTH
OF THE LORD
DOTH MAN LIVE."

4. Thy raiment waxed not
old upon thee,
neither did thy foot swell,
these forty years.
5. Thou shalt also consider
in thine heart,

"THAT, AS A MAN
CHASTENETH HIS SON,
SO THE LORD THY GOD
CHASTENETH THEE."[i]

6. Therefore thou shalt keep
The Commandments of
The LORD thy God,

AT the same time came
the Disciples unto Jesus,
saying,

"Who is the greatest
in The Kingdom of Heaven?"

in the midst of them,
3. And Said,

"Verily I Say unto you,

'EXCEPT YE
BE CONVERTED,
AND BECOME
AS LITTLE CHILDREN,
YE SHALL NOT ENTER INTO

and that he were drowned
in the Depth of the Sea.
7. "Woe unto the World

For it must needs be
that Offences come;
but woe to that man
by whom the Offence cometh!
8. "Wherefore if thy hand
or thy foot offend thee,
cut them off,
and cast them from thee:
it is better for thee
to enter into life
halt or maimed,
rather than having
two hands or two feet
to be cast into Everlasting Fire.
9. "And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out,
and cast it from thee:
it is better for thee
to enter into life
with one eye,
rather than having two eyes

13. "And if so be
that he find it,
verily I Say unto you,

'HE REJOICETH

THAN OF
THE NINETY AND NINE

THERE was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus,
a Ruler of the Jews:
2. The same came to Jesus
by night,
and said unto him,
"Rabbi, we know
that thou art a Teacher
come from God:
for no man can do
these Miracles
that thou doest,
except God be with him."

3. Jesus Answered
and Said unto him,

"Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'EXCEPT A MAN
BE BORN AGAIN,
HE CANNOT SEE
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'

4. Nicodemus saith unto him,

"How can a man be born
when he is old?
Can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb,
and be born?"

5. Jesus Answered,

"Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN
OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT,
HE CAN NOT ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'

6. "That which is Born
of the Flesh

BORN AGAIN.'

8. "The wind bloweth
where it listeth,
and thou hearest
the sound thereof,
but canst not tell
whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth:
so is every one
that is Born of The Spirit."

9. Nicodemus answered
and said unto him,

"How can these things be?"

10. Jesus Answered
and Said
unto him,

"Art thou a Master of Israel,
and knowest not
these things?
11. "Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'WE SPEAK

19. "And this is The Condemnation,

'THAT LIGHT IS COME

lest his deeds

21. "But he that doeth Truth
cometh to The Light,
that his deeds

"BORN AGAIN" IN NORTHERN ARAMAIC MEANS: "TO CHANGE ONE'S THOUGHTS AND HABITS." NICODEMUS SPOKE SOUTHERN ARAMAIC, AND HENCE DID NOT UNDERSTAND JESUS. [Footnote to JOHN 3:3,5 in the Lamsa Peshitta Bible.]

The proSlavery/anti-Independence Christian Churches do not believe in BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANITY.

They have NOT changed since the COLONIAL ERA.

SCIENTOLOGY^® proves that the original BORN AGAIN Doctrine involves acquiring TOTAL RECALL of one's whole life, going back to one's mother's womb, correcting all one's Mental Errors, so that one HAS JUST STARTED TO LEARN TO LIVE AS A PROPER HUMAN BEING.

Therefore, Lord Yeshua's Disciples were less that 4 years old.

Not really! I mean what you said we would probably need to discuss what you said on another thread.

The key differences between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant are

OLD COVENANT, YHWH
● Given by God to His people through Moses
● An agreement between God and the descendants of Jacob .I.e. everyone born of the blood of Jacob is born bound to the agreement
● Promise of Life(Eternal) and Death(cessation upon death) to the children of Israel according to whether they obeyed or refused to obey the Law.
●God's Law in the Land of Canaan

NEW COVENANT, Jesus Christ
● Given to everyone who will submit and obey through Jesus Christ
● An agreement between God and individuals men - not peoples or nations
● Promise of Life(Eternal) to all who believe, and Eternity in either of Heaven or Hell for those who submit and those who refuse to obey the Law
● God's Law in the Kingdom of God

If you see, the Old Covenant people belong in the land of Canaan,whereas those of the New Covenant are people who belong in the Kingdom of God. Elijah, the one you posted of earlier, is of the Old Covenant and so of the Land of Canaan. Whereas those who belong to Jesus Christ are of the Kingdom of God.

Wrong!

The idea of "men of God" belonged in the Old Covenant. You posted where Elijah was referred to as one and rightly so because there were men selected by God to serve of position of intercesors/ messengers between God and man.

There are no such men in the New Covenant because that need for intercession between people and God has been eliminated by Jesus Christ. Instead every man has direct connection to God in the New Covenant - every person who belongs to God in His New Covenant is a prophet .

Jesus Christ came to calls us as heirs/Sons of God and He also made it known that only those who become like children will enter into Heaven. So the idea of men and women of God is off as far as the Kingdom of God and this because of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Anyone who follow Him would submit to these titles instead of seek their own, in my opinion.

Well I get you clearly. I'm just indifferent.
