Subject: Why the children? |
Bible Note: Hello Inquisitor, I have to admit I'm a bit puzzled by your assertions regarding "Innocence of Children". Quite simply, scripture either teaches the doctrine of original sin or it doesn't! I see no compelling evidence- as it were- in 224842. First, your appeal to an "age of accountability" regarding Romans is not an appeal to scripture (Rom. 4:3), but rather appears to be an example of speculation! I find no such "age" described in scripture regarding one's accountabiltity to sin. Where is your proof from scripture? Second, your examples of the OT passages are completely lacking in context are they not? Do these verses teach a childs' sinful nature is thereby alleviated? I think not. Frankly, none of these passages supports or otherwise circumvents the inherent sinful nature (seed) we're ALL infected with. In short, they don't give a "pass" to the Adamic nature within a child. (cf Rom. 5) This is not intended to further any "interest" or "debate" as much as it is to clarify and correct incorrect doctrine. Please rethink what you're saying as it does not accord with scripture! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
