Children Quote by Ken Ham
““There is a misconception that children are innocent of sin, but this is not true. They can be wicked, violent, corrupt, and have evil thoughts all the time. Parents often concur that this is true! This is why parents are so important when training their children. But we know from the Bible that all were corrupt, evil, violent, and so on. This includes children. And children can further develop these habits from their parents if not trained in righteousness. If the Word of God was not impressed upon children, then false humanistic views were impressed upon the kids (Deuteronomy 11:1918)!””
