We were born human beings in a physical world, not sinners. We have to learn the difference between right and wrong we arent just supposed to know it. If we did not know wrong we would not know right.

They say we are born sinners because it is written in a book on which they base their entire worldveiw despite the fact it was written thousands of years ago and has become extremely dated with regards to more recent discoveries and changes to human social structures since then.

Daisy, weren't you asking not too long ago why some people suggested that you are not a true Christian?
Any Christian knows that the fact we are sinners is the one thing that every one of us can find evidence of in everybody else except for Jesus.
We do know the difference between right and wrong without having to learn it. Morality comes from God. If it didn't, how did the first people know the difference...if there was no one to learn it from?

Because we never had any training in how to be brats. None of us has had training to dsobey our parents,throw tantrums among other things. We were born knowing how to do bad things. If we were not born sinners we would all be good kids. Surely the bad things we do as children may seem trivial, but they are still wrong and they do lead up to the serious sins committed as adults. If someone is undisciplined as a child and does not recieve discipline as a child will probably grow up that way and be a menace.

We're all born sinner spiritually. Yes, we're born unto a physical body but this body of ours corrupts and dies due to sin.
Think of it this way. Babies sin just as much if not more then humans. When a baby is born they cry, why? Because their wanting. That's selfishness. they may not know the difference but that doesn't keep it from being a sin. Same thing with them growing up you'll see plenty of your children's actions which are selfish, mean, inconsiderate, foolish but still just because they may not realize it doesn't NOT make it sin.

You are a Spirit.
You have a Soul.
You Live in a Body.
Adam messed up his Spirit and Passed that messed up Spirit to Everybody Else.
That Spirit has to be Recreated to make Heaven your Home.
You Soul (contains your Second Mind) is Relatively Pure, and you Learn Good and Bad as you Grow.
The Spiritual Part of the Human Being (the Real You) is Born on this Earth Disconnected from GOD. We are Born "Lost".
Everybody Since Adam.
Jesus can Recreate your Spirit, which Reconnects You to GOD Again.
Religions cannot Recreate you.
Being Good, as we all Should try to be, cannot Recreate you.
Any Human Being who Leaves the Earth for Good befor Reaching "Their" Age of Accountability, gets Their Spirit Recreated and GOD Takes them Back to Heaven (Home).
In Heaven, you can Only Choose between GOOD and GOOD.
Also, After you are Born-Again (Spiritman Recreated) it Takes Time to Renew your Soul (second Mind) and Flush out Sin, Errors (Lies of satan) etc., some Sins are Stubborn and takes Time.
Hope this helps.

This physical world is a sinful world. As humans, we have a sinful nature. There's nothing we can do about that, except to accept Christ's cleansing later in life. Granted we aren't born knowing exactly what is right and what is wrong. We do have to learn. But, once we learn we still don't always do what's right.

comes back to the christian notion of original sin from Genesis well the concept does anyway , basically you can classify all religions into three catergories black white and yellow the principles of a white religion is that life is freedom and joy , we are not born with burdens but make our own, a lot of hindu beliefs as well as practises of high magick can be attributed to t6his catergory , secondly the yellow religions believe simply that living is living Buddhist would fall into to this group then we have black religion such as Christianity and Islam which believe existence is suffering which it is necessary to underatke in order to know god ,

We were born with the sin "Gene" as it were. We have all the seeds of the seven deadly sins in us at birth. When we exercise these sins they become stronger but, even if we did not they are there and although they are as small as seeds they will hold someone back from Heaven because not even the smallest amount of sin is permitted there lest it grow. Sin is put to death on the cross with Jesus. The Devil thought he would pull a fast one with Jesus' condemnation but, he found out too late it was him that was being stuck in the trap. Him and all the people who did not give themselves to Jesus.

Because when Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden of Eden, sin entered the world. When we are born, we are born with a sin nature, a tendency to sin. All you have to do is watch small children be little monsters with each other. You don't have to teach children to be selfish, you have to teach them to behave in a civil manner and not kick others when they don't get their own way!

Religion tells people that they are born sinners. First they give you a disease and then they cure you of it. And all that they ask is that you financially support them for the rest of their lives. They claim that it's an inexpensive cure.
