Lambs or kids

[Goodbook]

do you call your children lambs or kids in church?

 

[Hammster]

I call them by name.

 

[Goodbook]

No as a group. What do you call them. Or do you just say children.

 

[Hammster]

Kids or children. I've not heard them called lambs.

 

[Goodbook]

In the bible Jesus says to feed my sheep and to feed my lambs. He was referrring to His people, not has actual sheep and lambs.

Okay.

 

[Goodbook]

Yes he was talking to Peter, who was having a fry up of fish that he had caught.

I dont think sheep and lambs eat fish, they eat grass.

 

[Hammster]

Agreed. Is there a point?

 

[Goodbook]

Yes just wondering what you meant to call them.
Our church has a kids corner but shouldnt there be a lambs corner as well?

I mean Jesus said the goats on the left and the sheep on the right.

 

[Hammster]

I don't think it's a proper assumption that lambs equal children.

What in the world?

 

[Goodbook]

Why not? What did Jesus mean then? Immature christians?

Yes.

 

[Goodbook]

Ok thats fine but lambs do grow up to be sheep.
And Jesus himself identified with lambs. Although he was the good shepherd. So yea.


Nothing about being a goatherd, feeding goats or kids.

I think I understand. Kind of funny question since baby goats are called kids.

I would call them lambs if they are christian and kids if they not.
Then i get confused when christians refer to their own children as their kids.

 

[mikedsjr]

You shouldn't. It's not intended to be a Christian term.

Really? It's confusing?

 

[Goodbook]

Yep. Well they are totally different animals, though i suppose you wouldnt know if you never lived on a farm and just assumed kids were lambs. Nope.

City people!! Lol
I just think they being a bit clueless about what they call their children. If they knew they wouldnt be calling them that. Or maybe they just lazy.
