What level of Bible training is most appopriate for children?

@tymektt but after your name I've only got 991 characters to reply, on my most favourite subject

"All Scripture is useful for teaching and rebuking" is my simplest response, including Numbers, Leviticus, Song of Songs - with every other book too

As much as I like chocolate and steak, if I only ever eat that I'll become nutritionally imbalanced (even if chocolate really is a vegetable ;-) )

If we only ever teach the bible as [safe] stories (fables) instead of real history, that's all they'll learn & they'll grow up spiritually imbalanced

Us adults get more uncomfortable about some subjects than children are eg if we're not excited by sex within marriage; if we're not excited about God creating the world like He said He did; if we're not excited about introducing them to their own relationship with Jesus - who, or what, will they believe instead?!?

So in our home no subject (or scripture) is off limits, and "details to follow when you're older" is a line we rarely use
