7 Year Old Theology

Josiah and Lydia were playing around in the living room while I was reading a book, and Lydia proclaimed while standing on the couch (a no-n0) “I’m the pastor, and you’re the congregation” (that’s pretty funny in itself).

Josiah’s response–

You can’t be a pastor because there’s no such thing as lady pastors.

Right Dad?

I said,

Well, Josiah, there are ladies who are pastors, but that doesn’t mean they should be. They’re wrong and their churches are wrong too.

He replied with,

“Why? Is it because men are better than women?”

That gave me a grin, but it’s obviously not right. So, I summarized Paul’s teaching in 1 Timothy 2, asking him who God created first. “Adam,” he said. “Right, bud. God wants men to be pastors because God created them first.” (Remember, I’m talking to a 7 year old here, not an adult!)

I asked another question:

Who’s the head of the home?

Response:

The man is.

Me:

Right. But why?

The 7 year old theologian’s answer to why the man is the head of the home, given with absolute genuineness:

Because he gives better spankings.

I’ll have to email that to my seminary professors to add to their arsenal! :-)

This was the view from my “office” this afternoon–any guesses where it is?

Here’s some “extra-curricular” photos from a few weeks ago. We have a new Verizon tower practically in our backyard, so I took Josiah and Lydia to take a look at it:

I’m sure Andy wouldn’t mind having that for his ham radio tower! :-)
