    Hello, I want to assure you that I do not believe that God chose only some to be saved and others to be lost. I firmly believe that Jesus died on the cross for all mankind, not just a select few. I hold that all people can be saved if they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I also...

    I believe the fallen nature was inherited, but not the act of sin.

    There is a fundamental issue with your understanding. You seem to suggest that if an infant were born into a perfect culture and environment, they could lead a sinless life. However, it is important to recognize that no culture on earth is devoid of sin. Human culture began with Adam and Eve...

    Before I answer your question, answer me a couple of quick questions. Do you believe you have sinful tendencies now? If you say yes, then when did these tendencies enter into your life?

    We are born with sinful tendency but not sin. We are born as one that has already sinned. This may seem strange but to address the question, I would combine the two points above. I believe that we are all born sinners in the sense that we inherit a sinful nature due to Adam and Eve’s...

    I copied this from the post I posted: This separation, as described in the Bible, remained unbridged until the arrival of Jesus, referred to as the Son of Man, was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and thus, was not subject to the inherited sinful nature passed down from Adam. As...

    Sorry for being lazy but I copied this from another post I made: I believe that we are not guilty of sin at birth, as a newborn is incapable of sinning. However, due to the Fall, all humanity stands guilty before God. Adam and Eve were initially in a perfect, innocent, and sinless state. They...

    Well… I don’t believe there is sufficient scripture to definitively prove either perspective. Additionally, I don’t think this topic should cause division or arguments, as it is not a salvation issue. There is ample room for you to hold your beliefs and for me to hold mine. We can both leave the...

    I see. Well you will have to admit even logically that an infant has not been in the world long enough to sin. However, that infant still needs Christ. I am one of those who believe a young child who is not at the age of accountability will enter heaven when they die. But the interesting thing...

    Well, there is no such thing as a sinless person. When you talk about a child what do you mean an infant?
