how are we born with sin?

Question

What is your opinion or belief regarding the idea that we are born with sin?

What makes you think this?

If one cannot enter heaven if they have sin, then how can anyone enter it?

Answer 1

We are not born with sin, that is Christian Dogma. How can anyone look at a newborn baby and think that the child had sinned? "Original sin" is one of the most arrogant, silly christian ideals I have ever heard.

Answer 2

Sin is like a disease that has been passed down from generation to generation. However we have no choice of having that disease, it is something that we inherit. This body that we live in has a sin nature. And God will not allow sin in His presence.


If one cannot enter heaven if they have sin, then how can anyone enter it?

Good question...

We have to be born again..We must believe in the only One that lived a sinless life. The Son of God, Jesus The Christ. And believe what He has done on the Cross for you and how much He loves you. Wanting to give up everything just so that you can spend eternity with Him in Heaven.

Has anyone ever explained to you about God and His Son Jesus Christ?

Answer 3

We are not born with the guilt of sin. This guilt is not inherited.

Notice what the Bible says:

"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." (Ezekiel 18:20)

Some use Psalm 51:5 to say we were born with sin. David said, "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." I don't believe david said he had sin from the time of his conception.

Instead, I believe that David is either saying that his mother sinned, having a sinful sexual relation that resulted in his conception, OR he may be just saying that he was born into a sinful world.

If I say I was born in a barn, I could say I was born in with the cows, but that does not make me a cow. David seems to be saying that he was born into a sinful world.

I was born in a hospital. In a sterile environment I was born. This describes where I was born and not my own condition at birth. I believe David's words do the same.

Answer 4

Because Adam fell, and lost the grace of God. the only thing Adam had to leave to us was sin.

That's why all humans are born separated from God, and lacking his grace.

Grace is the life of God in a human soul, and is the result of his unmerited favor.

Faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ, and baptism into his church eliminates the problem of "original" sin, and restores divine life (grace) to the human soul.

Answer 5

When a pig has babies they are pigs. When a sinner has a child it is a sinner.. It's not by acts but by nature... Ever notice that you must teach a child to tell the truth but they know how to lie without prompting.... Only because of the blood Christ shed on the cross do we have hope of salvation Jim

Answer 6

"Sin" is not a thing, it is an act. People sin because they are afraid of death. You can't 'have' sin. Either you are sinning, or you are not. Read Ezekiel Chapter 18.

Answer 7

When people are born, they have not sinned because they have not had the opportunity to sin.

Answer 8

We are NOT "Born in Sin" AND We are not sinful at BiRtH. There are some Denominational Churches that have the idea that we are born sinful even though you will not find anywhere in the BIBLE that Infants and/or children are required to be baptized. There are NO actual examples of infant baptisms in the BIBLE yet a number of churches think that they should baptize infants. They even develope special ceremonies to do so. We should only do those things that are given as examples or we are told as Christians to do by the BIBLE! Some individuals want us to believe that since all of the Jailer's family was baptized there had to be children involved. I believe that if children were involved then we would have at least had an example telling us so in the BIBLE!

To become a real Christian, we are told that we must HEAR the WORD in John 6:45, Jesus said, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” We are also told so in Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We are told the we must BELIEVE in Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We are also told so in Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” and in John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. We are told that we must REPENT (or turn from sin) in Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Also in Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST in Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. We are also told in 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. We are to be BAPTIZED according to Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” and Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. We are to CONTINUE to be FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH according to Revelation 2:10c Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. We also know that Paul wrote in Romans 14:12 each of us shall give account of himself to God. It is important that we not ignore what is written, change what is written, or add to what is written in the New Testament which is our Christian Guide. Have a great day!
