Yes, certainly we have a Sunday School, and your son would be most welcome to join the other little ones in our younger class every Sunday at 10am.

Comment on ‘God the Only Cause and Creator’ by Peter D

A hopefully short follow up to our Sunday School class this morning.
Question: Why do we say forgive us our debts and not our trespasses?
Answer: I googled the question. There are huge essays and information overload relating to this on the internet. Simply, ‘debt’ is considered closer in translation to the original aramaic meaning, the language Jesus spoke. Also ‘debt’ as a word is often substituted by the word ‘sin’, therefore ‘show mercy and forgive our sins’. There is much comment on this point.
We could check out here our church tenets and read about sin and its forgiveness , also what is it that cancels the debt for sin? From S&H 22:30 ‘Justice requires reformation of the sinner. Mercy cancels the debt only when justice approves. Revenge is inadmissible. Wrath which is only appeased is not destroyed, but partially indulged. Wisdom and Love may require many sacrifices of self to save us from sin.’

In the spiritual interpretation we have ‘And Love is reflected in love’. This statement is absolute and 100% spiritual. It affirms the Kingdom of Heaven to be the Universe of love – All Love. It is not that our sins are forgiven but the sense of sin is loved out of us till we see that we never left the Father’s house to wander off into a separate distant land of sin. We never left the house (the consciousness of love). Son you are ever with me. We are in the Kingdom and we cannot get out.

Sorry it is a long response. Thought it might be, but it is exciting and it is such fun.
Happy days.
