I don't know though. Jesus said to come to Him as little children. Maybe in her case this could be a good thing?

I think there's a distinction between faith and understanding though. Having a childlike understanding of God who he is, and all the essential pillars of Christianity could be detrimental because it could lead to heresy. Having an innocent faith in Christ, like a child, may be an entirely different thing though.

yep, we are to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

Well, i would not predict disaster. But I have seen problems with people brought up in similar circumstances. They can be really vulnerable to any person who comes along with what seems to be a well thought out argument, be it for a religious idea or some sort of non-religious idea. I knew a lady who ended up an atheist in that way, even though the idea she was presented had a very simple explanation from a Christian perspective. But because her understanding was the kind of idea of God a child would be told, she was vulnerable.

Glory be to God!

Lord have mercy upon all involved and all who have left this congregation.

Thank you, that's the sentiment I was aiming for and missed!
