***Do you think the mentally ill, mentally retarded and the young "sin"?***

Sure! Have you ever been around a bratty, petulant infant? Let me tell you, there is sin in that young heart!

Psalms 51:5
"Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me."


But I also believe the sin of the young and mentally retarded are covered by the blood of Christ.

There is no sin without knowing and choosing to do what is wrong.

But I also believe the sin of the young and mentally retarded are covered by the blood of Christ.

How is this so? Have they repented of it? Or do they just get some sort of "free pass." Do you not believe in salvation by faith alone?
