Bible Note: Sniper: What follows is my best attempt to answer your questions. Nothing in this post is intended to be argumentative or offensive. :-) Your question: 'You allude to a freewill. You call it a "willful rejection" or "sensing personal need". But, then you turn around and say the following. '"Scripture is clear that children and the unborn have original sin-including both the propensity to sin as well as the inherent guilt of original sin." 'How is there a willful rejection if the sin is inherent and original? Where is scripture clear about this? Please support.' An answer: I didn't say or mean that babies made a conscious, willful rejection of Jesus Christ. Nor did I say or mean that babies were condemned or lost. Therefore, as to your question "How is there a willful rejection if the sin is inherent and original?": there may be some contradiction in what I posted, but I honestly don't see any. As far as scriptural support for my position, I have no other scriptures to cite other than those I've already cited. You also write: "You allude to a freewill." Perhaps I did, but let me emphasize: "freewill" is one word I never use lightly or carelessly. Thank you for your question and interest. Radioman2 |
