AMPLIFIED 2015 | Psalm 51:5 ¶ I was brought forth in [a state of] wickedness; In sin my mother conceived me [and from my beginning I, too, was sinful]. [John 3:6; Rom 5:12; Eph 2:3] |
Subject: When do we become sinners? |
Bible Note: Steve, I sincerely disagree with you here: "Based on what God did to Sodom and planned to do to Ninevah - the "innocent" babies will be destroyed ... there is no "age of accountability" - we are born, if not concieve as a sinner." What do the punishments of Sodom and Ninevah have to do with babies? And yes, there is an age of accountability for children! They are conceived with the sin nature intact, but they do not "know" this and therefore cannot bring condemnation upon themselves if they do not know that they have 'disobeyed' or did wrong. This, I believe, is what protects innocent children and assures them of being cared for by the Lord if they were to die before they learn accountability. I believe that you are severly mistaken here. --Nolan |
