What you're disagreeing with is my statement that we are born with no sin IMPUTED to us....
IOW,,,,we have committed no sin at birth..we have no personal sin that can be attributed to us.
Again,,,if you think we DO have some sin on our soul,,,could you please tell me what it is.
Do you believe in original sin as Augustine described it?
Even the CC no longer believes in original sin as he described, or taught it.
Isaiah 7:16 states that the child the virgin will bear will need to know the difference between evil and good.
Do we want to believe that this applies ONLY to that child...or to every child? WHO is the bible written for?
It applies to every person born....
In order to sin a person must know the difference between good and evil.
If YOU are correct, mentally handicapped children and adults are going to hell.
John 9:39...Jesus tells the Pharisees that IF they were BLIND,,,they would not have been guilty of sin....
BUT SINCE THEY SEE,,,,they are guilty.
Personal guilt can only be appointed to those that understand sin.
Agree.
Adams choice, Adams seed.
Marks in scripture I believe means FATE SEALED by the presence of the Mark.
I'm not referring to MARK as someplace in scripture....which, if you want to discuss this, you'd have to provide verses.
I'm referring to MARK,,,as a bruise that we have on our soul due to Adam's sin.
We are born with this bruise
BUT NOT with any personal sin on our soul.
Again, we are each responsible ONLY for our own sin:
Do you not accept plain scripture?:
Ezekiel 18:19-20
19“Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity?’ When the son has practiced justice and righteousness and has observed all My statutes and done them, he shall surely live.
20“The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.
I don’t believe humans are marked, by their human father.
Who are we humans marked by?
Adam or Eve?
Who did God make the Edenic Covenant with?
Who did Paul say through whom man fell, Adam or Eve?
Baby’s are naturally born from a CORRUPT mortal’s seed.
That is not a commission of sin.
That is their natural burden to Overcome or succumb to that burden.
Well, then state that a child must OVERCOME his sin nature...
You make it sound as if a child will go to hell if he dies because he has personal sin.
That is their procreation…and immediately at their birth they are MADE, when gifted with the soul…that is without sin…
It’s the turd in the punch bowl syndrome…
A good soul entered into a corrupt body…and soon the soul begins becoming corrupted…
OK Taken....Maybe I'm not understanding you.
Let's make it simple:
IF A 5 YEAR OLD DIES, DOES HE GO TO HELL?
And WHY a soul requires …restoration…(pss23:3), called forgiveness and salvation.
And the spirit of man (truth in his heart) requires a rebirth from a new seed, Gods Seed.
And the body requires to become MADE DEAD, so a new body can be formed..ie glorified body.
While the individual babe had NO PART in deciding his natural birth….he has every opportunity from Gods Offering to become made a son of God.
OK
WHEN does the above happen?
Are you saying this could happen BEFORE an age of reason when a child knows either good nor evil?
Just to explain: This is an important topic for me. I have Catholic friends that think their grandchild is going to hell because the parents won't baptize the baby....they're a bit behind in the times, but I can't address that beyond a certain point. Augustine began this problem....400 years after Jesus ascended - so it is NOT a doctrine that can be found in the bible. Babies do not go to hell.
