you are absolutely correct and this is just some more scripture to support your view, and if I may add read our bible (KJV) on a daily basis. Thank You

Mark 10:15 "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."

Luke Chapter 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.

16 But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Could all you be blind, surely he is telling you that this is the mentality of those in paradise. No cares, worries, needs, wants or free will, you will be like children !

Like any other verse in the bible ,this verse has been put together in most simple meaning to bring us closer to the real thoughts of our Lord. Meaning what may eventually read out or spoken out of a single bible verse, will have different lots of meaning definitions to mankind. DOes that really necessarily mean they all truth??? i leave to people to decided and ponder on that. In the meantime,back to this verse, im no different from the rest of you who have been pondering on this verse.But great is this opportunity site to share what i learn from this verse. Mark 10 14 15 quoting ...suffer the little children to come unto me,and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Verily i say unto you,Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child.he shall not enter therein ' '... the comparison is been made between receiving little children to be similar to receiving the kingdom of God.God wants us to receive and care and nurture and treasure the kingdom of God ,just like how much we care for our own children. Linking to this verse i gain a verse where people asked 'where is the kingdom of God ' ' Jesus reveal the kingdom of God is found within you ' '.

God says the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS FOR the the little children MOST DEFINATELY and as adults we need to change our hearts so we can to Heaven to be with our children Amen

This verse is very personal for me, and it gives me comfort it heals my heart Thank you Lord My baby girl went home to be with the Lord and it hurt me so bad. To me the verse means the children are pure free of sin never lied, never stole, never hurt anyone, or cursed anyone, or judged so God

Prof.K.ROBERT JAMES's comment on 2013-11-29 00:11:03:

children are simply/blindly believing the words of mother or father and act as they heard from parents- they never argue/doubt.God says every one should be like children while reading Bible words and follow the same in their life. He need such persons in the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen!!!....

Donna's comment on 2013-10-15 09:58:04:

God wants us to have a childlike spirit, with humbleness, forgiving, & loving. A child does not hold onto grudges and its easy for them to let it go no matter how they've been hurt. God wants us to have that same forgiving and loving spirit because we can't go to God any kind of way

Jeff Poe's comment on 2013-07-18 11:57:11:

Looking up the words to find peoples quick meaning has helped me to understand what Jesus is really saying. He wants the little children brought to him for learning with keen senses and no false doctrine--just to him, which he is also saying in p***ages to come that as adults we are to come to him as the little children--with no false prophets or doctrine.
