1 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | One | 66569 | ||
When you say David was born in sin you might want to consider the following verse: Ps 22:10 Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother's womb. David like any good writer uses literary devices. When he say "Behold I was shapen in iniquity” he was using a exaggeration for effect. How can I say this so confidently? Consider another verse Ps 139:13 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. Therefore to me I look at what David says very differently. Also if children are not innocent of sin why does Jesus say Matt 18:3 and said, Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. As to some of your passages you quote about children being punished for what tier parents did yes this does happen. However look at it from a practical stand point could you see Lot trying to lead every ones children out of the city of Sodom with out there parents? I look at it like this if I go out and become a drunk lose my job, house, wife, life ect. Does my children suffer for my malfeasants? Yes! Are they guilty for my sins? I will let the prophet answer this. Ezek 18:4 Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die. Ezek 18:20 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. |

Dear One, In Mathew 18:3 I believe Jesus is using children as an illustration of a Christian as a "child of God". He's teaching that we are to walk meekly, receiving the Word of God as children accept the word of their earthly fathers. This has nothing to do with children being righteous or without sin. (Please see the exchange between me and charis above). Look at the corresponding verse to Psalms 139:13 that you quoted. Psalms 51:5-7 5"Behold I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow". One... if we are honest, when we look at children, we do see sin in them, don't we? My six year old sins and knows when he does it. We might like to say it's just mischief, or it's "cute". But sin is sin. I find no biblical exception. I find no evidence of unaccountable sin regardless of age. |

cwade, My heart is filled with praise to the Lord when I rise in the morning! I sing songs of praise to Him early in the morning! Blessed be the name of the Lord! Please accept my apology. In my previous response to your post I typed "owade" instead of "cwade". Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
