David, as well as the rest of us, came into the world with a sin nature.

I didn't think you believed in Original Sin.

One goes to hell for committing actual personal sins, not for original sin, according to you, right?

I mean, if an infant dies, does he go to hell cause he never got "saved" or what?

The argument at the present time is about "all have sinned." This is not the same as saying all are born with a sin nature, is it?

Wonk and Havoc are taking "all have sinned" literally. So I ask what sin a newborn has committed.

I think to be fully literal we have to accept that the HS is speaking specifically of men. Those under eighteen, or lacking certain external genitalia have not necessarily sinned.

Of course, this leaves Mary in the clear. :-)

All have original sin, children are not held accountable by God because of not knowing they don't know, they get a pass.

Ask your wife.
