Since I know that you know that God’s word clearly states that “there is none righteous...,” I would hope that you could better understand the intended meaning of that verse.
How many verses in the Bible are meant to be taken alone, rather than in the context of the whole word? (clue: zero)
.
Although babies are born with the sinful nature of man, they (and young children) have not chosen to reject Christ and are therefore covered by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. A sinful nature is not the same as choosing to sin.
Paul spoke of the thorn in his flesh as a messenger of Satan to buffet him. Yet he stood on God’s grace to overcome his weakness. Man chooses righteousness or sin, babies do not.
I did not suggest that any verse in Scripture stands alone without context. In fact, I made it clear that there are many references to the innocent (and the righteous) in Scripture. Yet you rest your argument on one verse concluding that babies and young children have sinned and fallen short.
They have not chosen sin. They were born with a sinful nature - the propensity to sin. There is a difference. If there weren’t, the blood of Jesus would not cover them until they chose Christ.
