i dont like that part of the bible. you are born with original sin which is the sin of your family. this condemns before you can even talk.. then you have to grow up to learn about this then covert to hopefully the right religion...

We made ourselves convicts to sin, not God- He created us to have this perfect relationship with Him, and we messed up- we deserve a life sentence for our sin- however God sent His Son to die on the Cross so that we can be redeemed- through the blood of Jesus. No one is perfect- everyone sins- God is Holy a and there has to be payment for sin- instead of blaming God for hell, which is our choice - you can choose life- why wouldn't you? God ransomed my life and He can do the same for you and everyone else if you allow Him too- through Christ. Why would you choose to be condemned when you can be set free, from the get go?

AdoreHim hit it on the head, 100%. We are born with a sinful nature. Now if a baby dies that baby will not go to hell, because that child hasn't reached the age of accountability where that child can be held accountable for their actions and choices.
We are also born with free will, so we are free to make the choices we do in our lives, meaning we choose to sin or not to sin.

Adam's sin resulted in the enslavement of all mankind under satan's evil dominion.
Children born to slaves are also slaves.
God sent his son Jesus to free mankind from slavery to Satan, sin, and death, at very great personal expense, because he loves us, and because no one else was suitable for the job.
Jesus succeeded.
Case closed.

He didn't create you as a convict; you were born into sin because of Adam and Eve.

God created us perfect. It is our choices we make with our free will that makes us sinners. He forgives. Do not you feel great when you are forgiven?

Children are innocent and pure. They haven't reached the age of accountability yet. Jesus said unless we came as one of these, we would in no way enter into the Kingdom of God. The only way to become innocent in the eyes of God is to accept Jesus free gift of forgiveness and atonement for our sins.
We all are guilty of sin.

The way God looks at it is we are all His children, so we are actually coming from the same ancient people who sinned against God. So,we are to live and prove ourselves worthy. If you think about it , He made us, we belong to Him so he can do whatever He wants.

He doesn't.
We are all good at first, but sometime during our lifetime we choose sin. Human nature. You are being forgiven for not obeying His commands.

So that he can extort simple-minded individuals for praise and worship. Typical Xian b.s., give with one hand and take away with the other.
