Born of sin? No. Born with original sin and a sinful nature? Yes. Original sin is not a condemning matter, it means we are born into a fallen world already fallen in flesh, we are not what Adam once was. We are also born with a nature that seeks sin and pleasure, instead of God. Again, we are not what Adam once was.

Infants have not yet reached the age of reason, and so they are unable to willingly rebel against the Lord via their free-will.
If an infant dies before it reaches the stage where its brain is developed enough to consciously make choices, then the child has died die spotless, without blemish/sin, and so the same child's soul will end up in God's hands.
That's my theory, anyway.

Children are not born of sin, but rather of a sin nature, and as such have no need to confess anything to God. Jesus says not to hinder the little ones to coming to him. You have an extremely myopic viewpoint and are always a source of disruption. If you want anyone to post their views you should at least have the courtesy to say please. And thank you. Piece.

In the past, before people hearing clearly of what we call medicine, any important weakness of the body was seen as due to a sin against Creator (or God, if you like).
Naturally, we are all born with a COMMON weakness, ignorance. It is like a powerful computer that has no useful saved data and no programs installed on it yet.
Jesus came on a flesh to save me from this 'original sin'.
How?... He did it by giving me the 'light' of true knowledge so that I can live without having important questions about my life not answered logically.
For instance, while many scientific books could be found anywhere, most people on earth are happy without taking advantage of the knowledge they provide. The same applies on Jesus teachings... they are not suitable for all human beings (why?... This is another topic )

It's semantics. The English translation of David's verses on a child's conception says "Born in sin, and in sin my mother conceived me." Certain beliefs such as the immaculate conception of Mary try to countermand the idea that sex in general is a sin... but would God create man and women to desire sexual intimacy with each other as man and wife (and call it good) if it were a sin? This is why I would propose that the conception of a child between a husband and wife who lawfully had intercourse that became fruitful by God's providence is no more "of sin" than eating a reasonable portion of ice cream.
