But to bring him up with the idea that he must take nothing on trust, that before he can consent he must have from you the whys and the wherefores is a fearful mistake that you make. Your child is a child. The child understands as a child. He must be brought up to believe and to do what you say because you as his parents say so. Train up your child at the spring of his life.
Love is specific.
And a godly training is specific. A godly training does not simply inform a child of the various options, making the way as broad as possible. Godly training does not simply inform the child that any way he might fancy is suitable. That is not love. That is absolute cruelty and pride.
