Bible Question: WHAT IS THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE SCRIPTURES. |
Bible Answer: I believe that we are born into sin. so accountability would be at birth. That is why Jesus had to be born of a virgin and was conceived of the holy spirit. People I believe make the mistake of thinking that our choice to follow Christ is a human choice as opposed to a spiritual choice so they cant conceive how a baby is able to make that choice. But a baby has a soul. The soul is what makes the choice since it is the soul that will live with the consequenes of that choice not the body our soul inhabits. So a baby cant with human capabilities make that choice but the soul has the same capabilities from the time we are born until we die. So if you realize that God places a soul in each body it doesnt matter what the body is capable of it matters what the soul is capable of. I hope I have explained what I believe well enough for you to have something to think about Love in Christ Teria |
