"The Jewish view is that we are in essence born morally neutral: we are capable of both good and evil, and are subject to both good and evil impulses. Which we choose is a free act of moral will." How do you reconcile the birth of Jeremiah? He was obviously not given the "choice" of his moral will.
Jeremiah 1:4-5 "Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."

How do you reconcile the birth of Jeremiah? I don't think his unique situation can be generalized to all mankind.

Jeremiah's was an "immaculate conception"? He was incapable of sin?
