AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 18:6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble and sin [by leading him away from My teaching], it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone [as large as one turned by a donkey] hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. [Mark 9:42; Luke 17:2] |
Subject: Do all little ones believe? |
Bible Note: How have infants sinned? Because Adam sinned? I feel my passage from Ezekiel handled the idea of sin being passed from father to son. What I believe Romans is speaking of is a sinful nature, not Adams sin itself, I will refer you back to the Ezekiel passage if you want to know why I would presume this is refers to a nature and not the sin its self. When are infants lost? Revelation tells us at the end of time we will all be judged according to what we have done. So they would be lost when they had their own sin. I also don’t believe in “one saved always saved.” Or many other points of the TULIP theory and at this point we can agree to disagree because I pretty sure we are both familiar with the scriptures we both would use. Peace and love to you my brother. |
