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: I believe this is the ONLY place in scripture where the concept of original sin is even hinted at. Therefor we have to look elsewhere for clarity. Ezekiel 18:20 says "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". A child has to know what sin is before he can be accountable for it. He cannot be guilty for his father's, father's father's or Adam's sin. What does this verse refer to then. I believe it is talking about the human condition -- we ALL sin sooner or later and are therefore all condemned Romans 3:23 In Christian Love Tim |
