They are born with the sin that they inherited from Adam and Eve.Rob G said:Are babies born without sin
Sin and culpability aren't necessarily the same thing. Even growing beyond infancy, a child commits sins they can't possibly be held accountable for, but they are sins. They are defiant before the age of 2, lying before the age of 3, and committing violence against animals and other children before the age of 4. It's all wrong, but children have to develop the sense of right and wrong before they can be held accountable for it. I've had this conversation with my two boys when they were younger, saying, "Now you know it's wrong so I expect you not to do it again." If they repeat the offense, they've wedded sin with culpability.mjrhealth said:Here we go again. "NO", how can one be guilty of something they do not comprehend, that is absolute stupidity, and yes the religious would love it that way it fits in with "their" doctrines, not Gods. Only God knows when a child is capable of determining whats right and wrong, do you think God would condemn a 35 year old man to hell if he had the mind of a 4 year old and never able to decide whats right and wrong,, but men love blame they want every one to be judged but themselves. As Jesus said, He came to save the lost, who was He speaking to, the religious.

[SIZE=12pt]I believe God is merciful. I’m sure within the mysteries of the Word there is an open door for the innocent.mjrhealth said:Here we go again.

the number one sin no matter how old one is .. is unbelief that Jesus is your savior from sin.. babies have that unbelief..ChristRoseFromTheDead said:Definitely born with a sin nature, but born without having committed sin.
We just don't know how God will judge the unborn or babies. But scripture never says all babies will be saved.Rob G said:[SIZE=12pt]I believe God is merciful. I’m sure within the mysteries of the Word there is an open door for the innocent.
If God through Christ will Judge men who do not know the Law according to their conscience,
how much guilt can the conscience of a child have but a pure and clear conscience. Romans 2:14-16[/SIZE]
We cannot pay that debt because we add our own debt of sin as Vale said above, starting at a very early age.This Vale Of Tears said:Even growing beyond infancy, a child commits sins they can't possibly be held accountable for, but they are sins.

Matt 19:14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.Rob G said:Are babies born without sin
Good scriptures. Simple lateral thought and Rev 20:3 completes the equation for me.Rocky Wiley said:We just don't know how God will judge the unborn or babies. But scripture never says all babies will be saved.
Rom 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Hated Esau before birth.
The best promise we have is to be a Christian when one brings children into the world.
1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
Only one was. He continued on in a sinless life and died on the cross so that we could be born again and walk in the newness of His sinless spirit.Rob G said:Are babies born without sin

What about the scripture "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion"? That is one of the most important statements from the very mouth of God in the entire scripture. It's up to God to decide which infant, if any, are welcome into HIS HEAVEN. He has promised nothing except through the Blood of Christ. Everyone else is up to His good pleasure.
