I think the problem lies with OUR view of what sin is, vs. what God's view of what sin is.
I can remember my 1.5 yr old son waddling to wine glasses that dangled within his reach to rattle them together, looking over his shoulder at me because he had been told "No, don't touch them" before.
He KNEW he shouldn't go over there and touch them, but went anyway and a couple of times touched and rattled them. I'm betting that's sin. WE, think "Oh that's just natural" and ya know what ? We're right! Our sin nature comes very naturally to us.
But I also believe in an age of accountability. I won't hazard a guess as to what that age is though.

An 18 month old has a simple vocabulary. He looked at you because he was afraid that if he touched them there would be consequence/a spanking? I dont understand. The fact that he went anyway was because he was CURIOUS ... which is a natural (not sinful thing) abou the interesting new object. If that is a sin, for an 18 month old, then we are alll doomed. Seriously, perhaps a course in child psychology is warranted here.

Great blessing parents that plant the seeds.. You never know God could as a work of His faith faithfully cause new life as growth..?
When did you begin believing God as a work of God who is not our fleshly parents? Christ is not divided?
David, like John the Baptist or like Jacob that were reckoned from the womb. . . acknowledging the work of the Spirit that worked in them .
The lamb of God was slain from the foundation of the world (the 6 days he did work).rested on the 7th, the rest we do have when we mix faith in what we see or hear.. That work was demonstrated much later. . . two thousand years ago. The names were written in two books that will be compared on the last day .
When he calls us or awakens us it depends on whether or not the "name" is written in the Lambs book of eternal life.
Jacob had his wake up call when he wrestled with God. God changed his name to Israel (a born again name )a word that denotes God with him, enabling him to prevail when wrestling against flesh and blood (the temporal things seen)
Not simply the book of life (temporal) One erasable the other eternal ink. (Indelible )
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the "foundation of the world".
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

You're a Christian and you don't know that Jesus died to pay our sin debt? Why are we doomed?
Now tell me why you are lying about what I said. Show me where I mentioned spanking here.
And you must REALL
1 Samuel 15:3 New King James Version (NKJV)
3 Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But KILL both man and woman, INFANT and NURSING CHILD, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ”
You must be REALLY mad at God for telling His people to take their swords and thrust them through little children and nursing babies!

Only a non Christian that doesn't understand that Christ died for our sin debt would think we are doomed because we sin.
And yes. Disobeying parents is sin.
And Yes. Your whole post supposed that I spanked my 1.5 yr old. And yes. That would be a lie.
We need to stop redefining what sin is. God doesn't grade on a curve.

No. We must take it by faith that God knows what He is doing. He gave His only begotten upon the Cross for me. That is enough. He knows all about pain and suffering. I will trust Him.
Isaiah 55
55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
55:8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
55:9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
I will pray that you find peace with your maker and the lover of your soul.
Hebrews 12
12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Yes, Satan the father of lies was a murderer from day one. Murdering mankind. He hates all flesh. This is seeing angels, as spirit messengers are not subject to salvation. Not created in the image of God ...His image is represented by two.Two needed to recreate or add.. . 2 = 1 (mankind) The murderer shows his fury . . . he knows his end and offers the illusions as lying wonders ; "Living the Dream" in a false hope it will never die.
Genesis 3: 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Better things accompanying those who have been redeemed . A future hope towards living the dream knowing our father knows what we need before he asks he works in us with us both to will and do His good pleasure . He informs us to do it without murmurings .he will not forget the good works we do offer towards his name . Its us who need a reminder.
Thankfully as a miracle we can pray and know we are being heard. Especially for the little ones. Bless the hands that have a part with the young and the Elderly . it would seem to reflect the pure religion spoken of in James. Care for the widows who were married as two that representing the bride of Christ to the world in their suffering and loneliness. and orphan our selves once not having a heavenly father.
Its not the repetition or much speaking that is vain .In our anxieties our father would have us cry out over and over for comfort . He as our guide comforts us by brining to our mind the things he pervious has taught. . He is like the front guard as well as the rear a cleft in a Rock . e have no armor for the rear.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Mathew 6: 7-12
