Bible Question: What is the cause of deep seeded anger in a young child? |
Bible Answer: For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners (Romans 5:19a). That deep seeded anger is called SIN and we all recieved it from our birth parents and they recieved it from theirs (all the way back to Adam). "Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin ented into the world and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (Romans 5:12). Every child has to be taught to do good, the evil is already in us. I have heard it said "The selfishness, greed, anger etc. a baby displays would be murderous if he wasn't so helpless!" The bible says "By nature we are children of wrath" (Ephesians 2:3)cf Romans 7:20. Sin is the cause but thank God that we can be BORN AGAIN and that is by through faith in Jesus Christ. That's a decision every child must make on his own. SIN CAN'T WIN. (1 CORINTHIANS 15:54-57) THE TRUTH JAYELL |
