My vote A. Totally Agree.
I dont think people are not born with sin.
Sin and Virue depends upon the characters and deeds.
But when a child is born, it is without character.
While growing It faces the troubles of life, and gains some character according to the circumstances.
So to strive in this world it learns what to do and what not to do.
Inspite of good heart it has to commit certain things which is called sin & ofcourse virue.
If one thinks that dealth is due to our sins,
it is not true because death mentioned here is not physical death but spiritual death.
If we are all born with sin, then how come
many people able to connected to the almighty or god or truth?

I voted for C first but then started thinking and I have to say A. Sinning (if you want to use that word, which I really don't) must be inherent in the human nature. I understand sinning as negative and destructive behaviour. The human social environment conditions children to adopt such behaviour. So it's a sort of an egg-or-chicken kind of a situation.
PS. Although I have heard of some indigenous tribes where any kind of negativity just does not exist ...

Totally agree. The whole concept of being born with sin is ridiculous. When you are born, your life begins, you are a fresh slate. If you have no past, how can you have sins? If you are a baby, completely incapable of anything but the most simple of thought, and being totally dependent on others, how can you do something wrong? Animals are sinless too- because they follow the most basic of instincts. Natural instincts are not evil- evil is the product of thought and calculation.

C. People ARE born with sin. The Bible speaks in Genesis about the sin curse placed upon man after Adam and Eve fell at Eden. But, until we reach a certain age in which we're spiritually mature enough to realize our sinful nature and begin to seek repentance for it, we're not responsible for it. In other words, if a 3 year old child died of an illness, that child would NOT go to Hell for his/her unrealized/unrepented sin for that child would be too young to understand the concept of repentance, water baptism and etc.

A. Totally agree
Sin, imperfection, however you call it, can only arise from some choice we make. We do not deserve punishment for matters outside our choice. A baby cannot be said to have a choice. He just reacts as nature decided. It is only later the baby develops enough of what we call free will to deserve judgment.

YES ! "A". Everyone is born Sinless.
It is quoted and proved in Torah, Quran and the Original Ingeel (Bible).
Son is not responsible for the sins of his father nor the Father is responsible for the sins of his son & daughter. The decision of Almighty God.
The Christianity has been a secret religion for the first five centuries (upto 500AD) during which Every thing which Jesus said to his Disciples / believers has been changed, amended or revised by St.Paul, Constantine, and Power Hungry Church.
What is left for the Christians is not the real Christianity but Paulism... based on Dreams & False Inspirations. Any one can find such false ideas while reading the Old Testament.
According to Church every Christian is born criminal
to inject his sins to Jesus Christ??
Don't you think the so called Christian always deny the teachings of Jesus although these are still written in the revised versions of Bibles!!
Jesus said ' I shall pray my father... and He shall sent you Another Christ (prophet) ... who will teach you the things which I cannot tell you now...and when he shall come ... you shall recognise him ...and you shall remember ...!!
Surprisingly! the church is still successful to spread such lies by brainwash of its believers
Although we are called Muslims - by submitting our will to God- but we are the true Christians!

C. Totally Disagree.
To "sin" means to miss God's mark, or standard, of perfection. It implies much more than simply disobeying God's moral laws. To be sinless means to be perfect in all respects, morally, mentally, physically, and so forth. Hence, it becomes obvious that humans are not born sinless, since many children are born in ill health and may suffer from a variety of illnesses- something that would't happen to a person who was perfect. Hence, the Bible speaks of sin as being a part of humans at the very moment they are conceived inside the mother's womb:
"Look! With error I was brought forth with birth pains, And in sin, my mother conceived me." -Psalm 51:5
All humans inherit sin from their parents, just as they might inherit a physical trait such as brown hair or blue eyes.
"That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." -Romans 5:12
It is impossible for a sinful father and mother to produce a sinless baby.
"Who can produce someone clean out of someone unclean? There is no one." -Job 14:4
Although humans are born into sin, it doesn't mean that babies are evil. Rather, children are a gift from God. But, as the child gets older his sin will become clearly evident as he makes mistakes and sins against God (Genesis 8:21). Thanks to Jesus Christ and God for making it possible for our sins to be forgiven! (Romans 6:23)

b is my answer, because i seen my kids when they were born and they had no compassion for others. If they want food or drink that's all that mater's, Evan if there mum is laying there with a broken leg they'll still be screaming at her 4 food. You have to teach kids compassion and morals because there only human and basically run of the instinct to survive no matter what. But there soooo cute its hard to dead rite call them sinners. Thats what i think anyway.

A. Totally agree that people are not born with sin
What has any newborn baby done that could possibly be considered sinful? Nothing.
There is no sin anyways.
