They hold that Mary was conceived without original sin so she could bear Christ without passing it on to Him.
Teklemarian taught that Christ's flesh was divine, and therefore free from original sin.
This seems to contradict the Bible which as far as I can tell makes no distinction between Christ's human nature and ours, which in turn leads to the conclusion that inherited original sin, as some sort of substance inhering in the human nature itself and which is passed on to children, is a false doctrine.
BTW, I asked about Christ inheriting a human nature from Eve, I meant from Mary. Sorry.

So do you believe that babies are born innocent?
If so when do they become corrupted?
Also how are they corrupted?
* By corruped I mean sinful.
