3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 00086 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Every person born of the flesh has sinned there are non no not one who's own righteousness can stand before God the Father. To say that any person is without sin and spotless other than Jesus is calling God and His word a lier!

So are you saying that Jesus was not born of the flesh? I am a little confused with your statement, To say that any person is without sin and spotless other than Jesus… That seems inconsistent with the annotated quote (bolding) you gave from Romans 3:23.

The other, related, question is this: can you please elucidate exactly how a newborn infant personally sins immediately upon emerging from his/her mother's womb? Did the infant sin while in the mother's womb? Are you saying that the infant will immediately go to Hell if he/she dies before accepting Christ as his/her personal savior? If all means all, then all includes infants and children in the womb. No exceptions means no exceptions.

Not trying to get into an argument...just trying to understand your very interesting interpretation of Sacred Scripture.

And as long as we are looking at absolutes in Romans 3, perhaps you could provide your interpretation of Romans 3:11 (KJV) …there is none that seeketh after God.

Does none mean none? Does that none mean before, during, and after the time of St Paul? So how does that work with Enoch? Or Elijah?

Thanks.

out side of Jesus all men and women are born with the original sin of the fall. Babies are born with sin and sprinkling them with water only gets them wet.
