Q 2 : Why must small children ,around the world, die in a pain full manner having committed no sin?

Question

Jesus displayed to the public that if sins are committed the pain and sufferings experienced would be excruciating.

Judging by the way he was whipped and nailed to a cross.

If so then having born in this world is a sin considering the dead, dying and adout to die children and new born.

Though they never commit a sin in their ONE and ONLY BIRTH (christian concept).

Logically there is an error in concept here.

Think carefully before answering.

I do not wish to offend any religion.
i am just merely looking for views.

wefmeister:
It is definitely not god's fault, God is merely the energy we all seek to become. God is the true everlasting energy that exists in and around us.

The fact is why must a newborn inherit a sin another committed, for the new born committed none to get it in the first place.

don't you think that inheritting a disease or any that leads to mortal inexistance, is itself a sin.

what implies is that the child had already done a sin.

Religous concepts shatter while spiritual concepts remian.

One's sin cannot be transferred to another.The one attaining the sin had already committed one to experience hardship in its birth depending on its weight.
You are souly responsible for who you are and for who you will become. NOT THE OTHER.

Answer 1

Part of the nature of sin is that others pay the consequences for our sins. If a woman is addicted to cocaine and she gives birth, that child comes into the world a coke addict and writhes in the torments of withdrawal.
Was that God's fault?
Did God want that woman to be addicted to coke?
That is simply the nature of things, and God will hold each one accountable for whatever suffering they bring into the lives of others.
He will hold you strictly and absolutely responsible for any adverse influence you have in the life of a child so as draw that little one away from their faith and trust in Him. Jesus said better to have a heavy millstone tied around your neck and thrown into the depths of the sea.
So don't go indicting God, because He will plead His case, and you will not be able to stand before His judgment.

Answer 2

My answer? This is NOT the only birth. I am Christian, but not a traditional one...I believe that much can be better understood if one has an acceptance in the possibility of reincarnation. Why are some people born as genius and others with mental challenges? Why are some fortunate to live full lives nearing the age of 100, and some only experience an hour or so of life on earth? The questions of so called unfairness of life can go on and on, until it might make a person eventually an atheist, saying "How can there be a loving God with this unfairness?" OR....perhaps we need to rethink our philosophies and explore the concept of reincarnation. Life once again makes sense, and yes, there is a loving God.

Answer 3

forget god
for someone who does not belive in reincarnation, it is difficult to understand the death of a child. what was the point of the child living at all if only for a few short years? for the reincarnationist it is obvious that the child had learned all that had been set to be learned in that particular lifetime and so was moving on. a very good simile for this is the grades of a school.you enter school in a low grade and learn the basics. when you have mastered these you graduate take a short vacation then come back into a higher grade to learn and experience more things. so it is in life, in each life you have a certain amount to learn and to experience. when you have done that, you graduate. (e.g.e. you die.) to come back into a higher grade you are reborn in a new body.

this probably doesnt make sense but consider it.

Answer 4

??? bad things happen. yes personal sin is a factor, but not the only factor

being born in this world is not a sin. once you are accountable for your actions and can make a religious decision, you've come under the law

there's such a thing as innocence


your question was not worded properly. that might help

Answer 5

Christ came as a sacrifice for all of our sin. He was the spiritual solution to our spirtual condition of being seperated from God by our sin. Things we suffer in this physical world such as sickness, pain, and death are still realites we must face. Christ never taught that we would be free from troubles and trials here in this world.

Answer 6

spend 15 minutes with a 3 year old and tell me they don't sin.

Answer 7

If they die when they're born or before they're around 4....they'll go to heaven and be re-born there.

Answer 8

What evidence do you give that all babies are born without sin?
