Psalms 51:5 (Bible) Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. (seems to say we start that way)
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who “HOLD” the truth in unrighteousness; (Seems to say you need to be able to “Hold” truth in able to be liable for it.) (Children and mentally incapable persons)

The sin we are born into is imperfection, [ Jesus died to save us from this ], for this reason man is alienated from God, except for Christ as a savior to bring us back to God, any thing can happen to us at any time and at any age, Gen.8:21; The imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth, so we do good to learn what evil is or what ungodliness or unrighteousness is, because of imperfections we may commit any number of sins, for example; accusing God of tormenting people in a hell fire forever, people need to know what they are saying. Things may be different if they are examined from God's point of view in truth and fact instead of the point of view with man that begans with destorted imaginations. How long might it take a person to get truth and fact in order and give up destorted imaginations?

People sin because they are sinful from birth. We are all related to Adam and Eve. They were the ones that introduced sin into the human race. Everyone is born a sinner, including handicapped persons and children.
It is by grace that God allows any to be saved.

Are you going to let the fact that you don't know how God will deal with the mentally challenged keep you from heaven.
Romans 1:18 is not talking about those mentally incapable of reason, it is talking about those who are. Never forget context-that will mess you up every time.

Sin is nothing more than breaking arbitrary rules set up over 2000 years ago. It means nothing if you don't allow it to. People are inherently good. That's all that matters.

nice Hobby, to try and interprete the bible.
unfortunatelly, there are many ways to interprete the bible.
As of you r question, I really dont see any difference. All I see is playing around with words. Would help to explain in YOUR WORDS, what you mean, and whats the difference for you.
For me it makes most sence to say: "stupid is, who does stupid things." quote form Forest Gump movie.
This I would apply to your sin question.
So to answer you rquestion, and thats just y oppinion:
....because the sin.

We are born INTO sin. Our lives and the way we live them determine whether or not we are sinful souls. God also says that the heathen who have not heard about Christ will be judged according to their hearts.

That's much like askign "Do we run because we are runners, or because we run"? The question makes no sense.
As far as sin, I won't get into that. I'll leave it at this: We are not entirely bound by our natures.

Both- we are all born to sin- thats why christ had to be born of a virgin to live a sinless life..had he come from an egg & a sperm, he too would have been born to sin......on the other hand, other people are sin ful because they sin....sinful = full of sin....

We have a nature that is inclined to sin, therefore we are sinners who sin.
