An interesting...guess? A "child" up to a certain age, an age of accountability, has grace. I've not read at what age accountability is precisely. Different numbers I've heard generally start at age 7 or 8 up to maybe 11. We have all been given a conscience that tells us an action is wrong. We actually have the ability to put that on mute. Sinning over and over and ignoring that still small voice asking us not to seems to be a workable way to shut it off. God is wise enough to determine which person goes with Him or gets their own way. I've also "heard" those that are mentally deficient in some way are also given grace. So.. I don't believe that "a child" stealing candy "deserves" or will receive hell. That last sentence is MY guess based on my Bible study. But since I don't believe I'm writing to a child, what's stopping you?
They did some damage. Spidey got at least one good swing in after he was bathed in "red sunlight" if I recall correctly. A sibling used my collection to help with the down payment on their home. *Sigh* .. such is life..
It's been several decades since I read it, but I believe in the end, it turned into a bit of a team up. Spidey did get a few punches in that stunned Supes.
