Christian if we are born into sin, then why did Jesus tell us to convert to be as a little child?

Question

Where in the old testiment does it say that a baby is evil, born into sin?

Answer 1

Best argument I've heard for a while.
I suppose it is inevitable that that child will "sin" growing up, but that's if the concept of sin is a valid or reasonable one.

Answer 2

If we were not born into the imperfections of sin, we could not die, but we are and we can die at any age.
When we are born, we are taught many things, when we get old enough, if we are to live for God and christ, we must start over as a new born and except only that that is truth and right. The bible is for the end times, there will be a time when the living will see Jesus take over.

Eph.2:7; 3:21; The world with Jesus is without end. John 3:16; 2Pet.3:13; All made new. Rev.21:1-5;

Answer 3

I'm not christian. I do not follow organized religions.

As I understand it, we are born into the "sins of the fathers"(parents). We learn their behaviors and continue them if we do not see the patterns. Babies are not evil but the are taught evil.

Jesus meant that we are meant to see the world as a child sees it. Everything that happens to us is a new experience. Children are usually only concerned with the things before them. Not the past, not the future. Only what is at hand.

Adults tend to take their life experiences way too seriously and assume that life should be in between the good and bad they have experienced.

GOD bless you, my good chum! Christians are very complicated of their faith on the subject of Jesus: First they are asserting he's the Son of GOD...then they are asserting he's GOD...then they are asserting that Jesus is an element of the trinity. and that i say to them: a million-If Jesus is the Son of GOD, then the father is GOD. 2-If Jesus is GOD, then the Fahter is the father of GOD! 3-Why do you quarrel with one yet another relating to the Holy Spirit? some say that it comes from the father on my own, whilst some others say that it comes from the Son and Father! seem! in case you examine the hot testomony heavily, you will confirm that the father is surely GOD or YAHWEH or ALLAH. the father purely! it rather is supported via the previous testomony which by no potential spoke relating to the trinity and salvation via crucifixion and different myths. it rather is extra supported via many Christian sects that are Unitarian (like the Arians, Jehovah's Witnesses, and so on) that sternly deny the divinity of Jesus and are against the trinity doctrine. it rather is finally desperate via ALLAH interior the Koran. a number of those heavenly religions won't be in a position to be incorrect, whilst the trinitarian doctrine is authentic. whilst the polytheist trinitarians noted the Bible for his or her declare, it replaced into clean that the Bible (particularly the NT) replaced into corrupt. i replaced into born a Jew and that i inform you, alongside with all Jews that there is not any such situation because of the fact the trinity. there is not any such situation because of the fact the flow being the step to salvation. there is not any such situation as eating pork is a clean habit,...and so on. a number of those are Christian myths. Pease comprehend that Chrsitianity is a pagan concept that replaced right into a corrupted inheritor of Judaism...and be attentive to correctly that Islam is the single authentic faith. could ALLAH bless you and me, Amen!

Answer 5

We are told in Mark 10 to receive Christ as a child would...with faith. It is a symbolic message that goes along with being "born again" which is of course not literal either. A person cannot work or earn his/her way to salvation/Heaven. What pleases God is faith. Kinda like saying it's the thought that counts...believing God and knowing that we need to look to Him and rely on Him as a child would a good parent...Heavenly Father.

Answer 6

"born into sin" refers to us entering into a sinful world . . . not babies born evil. The Old Testament does not say that a baby is evil. Babies and children are, initially, innocent. They haven't been exposed to the evil and mean ways of the world and their perspective on life is pure and untainted.

Answer 7

It doesn't say that any where. But it does say this. Matthew 18
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. 6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

Aren't little kids so innocent? They just want to have fun. You know like the age of 3. They LOVE everyone, trust just about anyone. They have no interests in worldy views. They have not sinned like you and I.
BE BLESSED AND REJOICE IN THE LORD!

Answer 8

Jesus told us to be as little children because they are very trusting and faithful. if you tell a child a fact they will beleive you untill they find out otherwise

Answer 9

I think you're talking about Esau. In Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. I hope this is what you were wanting if not sorry.

Answer 10

Its a marketing tool to keep good people from getting out of converting by saying, "I've never sinned...."
