Re: Original Sin/Ancestral Sin

A thought:
A SINNER is a SINNER because they Sin!!!!!!!!!!

He that committeth sin is of the devil. 1Jn.3:8

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth the law; sin is a transgression of the law. 1Jn.3:3

How can an infant who cannot chose or commit be a sinner?

Seeing that you speak of "the knowledge of good and evil" we are dealing with the conscience. I believe EVERYONE is born with a conscience, even infants, in their case it is a weak conscience. I do not believe ANYONE is born without a conscience, even infants.

If someone sins ignorantly, are they not still accountable for sin though they sin ignorantly? God's answer is yes!

(Leviticus 5:17) And IF A SOUL SIN, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; THOUGH HE WIST IT NOT, YET IS HE GUILTY, AND SHALL BEAR HIS INIQUITY.

I don't believe anyone is born without a conscience either. But neither are they born without a mind. Yet our minds grow in knowledge and understanding. We aren't born with all knowledge.

Is the knowledge of good and evil the conscience? And if it is when does the conscience wake up to sin or when do we begin to know the difference between right and wrong and when are we accountable for the choices we make? Surely not as a infant.

Equally, a righteous person is someone that does righteousness.

(1 John 3:7) Little children, let no man deceive you: HE THAT DOES RIGHTEOUSNESS is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Infants do not do righteousness neither, therefore, by your same argument they are also not righteous because they have not done righteousness.

They have infants sinning and adults are given free passes on every issue?

Innocence is NOT righteousness. These babies DO neither! Good grief they are babies.

YOU used this scripture and applied it to infants did you not?

Yes. Adam was an infant though he was a man. Adam had a conscience as an infant, even though he ignorant of his nakedness. He knew that he should not have eaten off the tree of mixed fruit. Praise God.

I believe we are accountable as soon as we sin (ignorant or not) beginning from birth.
