An infant who is born and dies one minute later, has this child committed an actual sin?
Please explain Genesis 3:15. Who is “the woman” what is the enmities that protect her seen (Jesus Christ) from Satan (note: the enmities are the SAME) and why is the woman crushing Satan’s head?
Seems to me . . . off the top of my noggin . . .
that said woman is much MORE PROBABLY
The Church Universal, the Bride of Christ . . .
against whom, the gates of hell [defensive, interestingly] shall not prevail.
Every other translation I have been able to find says that the "seed" of Eve will crush the serpent's head. The Latin says "...her seed, the same will crush your head..." which seems to refer to the seed (Jesus Christ) as the one doing the head-bruising.
So, since your catechism contradicts every other translation out there (of the 12 I have checked so far), perhaps you have to explain Genesis 3:15, rather than your protestant friend to whom you addressed your challenge.
Born in sin yes, committed no, and you believe this also or you would not practice infant baptism as the RCC does.
It is impossible to know. But it is also a moot point, as the sins of children are not held against them till the age of reckoning (14 years AFAIR).
Please explain Genesis 3:15. Who is the woman what is the enmities that protect her seen (Jesus Christ) from Satan (note: the enmities are the SAME) and why is the woman crushing Satans head?
Gen 3:15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring [a] and hers; he will crush [b] your head, and you will strike his heel." Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
