The Old Testament teaches that the children do not inherit the sins of their parents.
Romans 6:3 teaches that unborn children have not sinned. They have done “neither good nor evil.”
Thus, children are sinless until they grow to an age of accountability, a time when they know good from evil and can choose.
As we stand before the Lord in Revelation 20 giving an account of our deeds, one of our deeds will NOT be Adam’s sin.
....Catholic teaching says that children under the age of 7 cannot COMMIT any sin, but EVERYONE is born with ORIGINAL SIN!
What religion are you? I know you won't answer except to say Christian, but what kind of Church do you attend?
Thus, children are sinless until they grow to an age of accountability, a time when they know good from evil and can choose.
Psalm 51:5
Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Indeed, though you meant Romans 9:11: "For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth..."
However, "original sin" does not mean an infant is guilty but in Catholic theology it means "sin" only in an analogical sense: it is a sin "contracted" and not "committed" - a state and not an act, referring to being born with an unholy sinful nature, resulting in a deprivation of original holiness and justice, but human nature has not been totally corrupted: it is wounded in the natural powers proper to it, subject to ignorance, suffering and the dominion of death, and inclined to sin - an inclination to evil that is called "concupiscence". And thus the subject cannot see God in that condition. But that Baptism, by imparting the life of Christ's grace, erases original sin and turns a man back towards God, but the consequences for nature, weakened and inclined to evil, persist in man and summon him to spiritual battle. "all men are implicated in Adam's sin, as all are implicated in Christ's justice. Still, the transmission of original sin is a mystery that we cannot fully understand." (CCC 404, 405)
However, until regeneration man is "dead in trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1) and it is all too obvious that conversion does not remove the sinful nature (which thus is to be put to death), much less the act itself of baptism which Catholics can only image effects regeneration, and which in Scripture is by faith, and manifests basic profound effects in hearts and lives, which is does today, thank God (and in my 69 years of life i have yet to see any empirical evidence of superior spiritual virtues among Catholic children that are not due to nature, not nature).
And rather gong to Purgatory at death to purify one to see God as per Rome, wherever Scripture clearly speaks of the next conscious reality for believers then it is with the Lord, (Lk. 23:43 [cf. 2Cor. 12:4; Rv. 2:7]; Phil 1:23; 2Cor. 5:8 [“we”]; 1Cor. 15:51ff'; 1Thess. 4:17)
And rather than Purgatory conforming souls to Christ, the next transformative experience that is manifestly taught is that of being made like Christ in the resurrection. (1Jn. 3:2; Rm. 8:23; 1Co 15:53,54; 2Co. 2-4) At which time is the judgment seat of Christ And which is the only suffering after this life, which does not begin at death, but awaits the Lord's return, (1 Corinthians 4:5; 2 Timothy. 4:1,8; Revelation 11:18; Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Peter 1:7; 5:4) and is the suffering of the loss of rewards (and the Lord's displeasure!) due to the manner of material one built the church with. But which one is saved despite the loss of such, not because of. (1 Corinthians 3:8ff) Thanks be to God.
"Thus, children are sinless until they grow to an age of accountability, a time when they know good from evil and can choose."
Yes,
"before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good" (Isaiah 7:16)
