Don't Christians understand that the Bible teaches infants are NOT innocent?

Question

Everyone is sinful and deserves the judgement and wrath of God from the moment of conception and also from birth. There are sinful acts and original sin inherited from Adam. Even if no one commits thoughts, words or deeds that are sinful they are still guilty because of inherited sin from Adam. To be born is to be sinful. See psalm 51, Romans 5

Answer 1

Dude i think you need to read the bible and study it harder.....psalm 51 has nothing to do with what you said because it is talking about David and Nathan......David went up to Nathan after he commited adultry with Bathsheba and psalm 51 is what David was saying to Nathan......he said surely I was sinful at birth sinful from the time my mother concieved me....David felt so guilty that he couldn't believe he had done a terrible thing so he was saying he was sinful from birth because he felt convitcted......Now Romans.....Death through Adam and Life through Christ.....But sin is not taken into account when there is no law......Babies are innocent children of God and they will enter the Kingdom of heaven because 1. They are not held accountable for their sins because accountability is at the age of 9 or 10 I can't remember its in the Bible now unless the child has heard the Gospel of Jesus and the child takes Jesus into his or her heart and asks for forgiveness then he or she will be held accountable for their sins and they need to repent when they feel like they have sined.....

Answer 2

While we are born with a cursed flesh that is unable to fully refrain from sin for the duration of our lives, infants are not born with automatic guilt. They are born with an automatic inclination to sin. There are two problems I have with your interpretation:

1. There is an age of accountability, depending on the mental state of the person in question; and

2. The Psalms are poetic. Many are acrostics. They were written by many poets, most of them by David (I think 51 was a David psalm), and they use literary devices. This was David's way of saying "I'm a sinner as far back as I can remember." The propensity to sin is inherited, but active sin is what puts us in rebellion to God.

ALSO, about Romans 5: That's also talking about how, in general, sin entered the world through Adam, and yes, all have sinned, but not simply by being born. Sin is violation of God's law. That is the definition of sin. Someone does not violate God's law by coming to Earth; that's just insanity. So you need to stop spreading this weird interpretation.

Answer 3

AND? To be born is to be sinful AND? So what really matters then, is to live not in sin and ask for forgiveness even if your innocent,flesh is sin since Adam flesh is sin,dont matter if your guilty or not we are all sin so handle it,GOD ain't no joke,He knows why it is what it is who it is and how it is

Answer 4

We live in a sinful world. The baby doesn't understand right and wrong, they can't sin.

Answer 5

Yes I do. But there is an age of accountability also. If the child in question is not mature enough to understand Jesus's sacrifice and the child dies without accepting Jesus the child still goes to heaven. I myself understood the sacrifice at age four. So it is different for everyone.

Answer 6

all men and women are born with original sin, this however does not imply that they are evil, it is through baptism that they are clensed of there sin. the only exemptions are JEsus and mary incarnant. niether where born with original sin

Answer 7

For I was born a sinner, from the moment my mother conceived me.

Answer 8

I have heard this before, and it's one of the things caused me to stray from the christian religion. That's all I'll say I don't offend.

Answer 9

They should, but they don't, because it's not true. No sin was born from the flesh, but from the ego.

Answer 10

You forgot the bible verse where God orders for all babies to be battered and killed.
