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

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

Ask your wife.

OK. How long does this "pass" last? What is your definition of "sin" and what does one have to do to be "guilty" of it?

So I ask what sin a newborn has committed.

Ask your wife.

Why can't you answer? I think the difference here, going on what little you gave me, is that you think small children "sin" but are not held accountable for it.

On the contrary I do not think that sin exists at all until one can be held to account for it.

The toddler who rips up an important paper cause it's fun does not commit a sin. She simply does not know right from wrong.

Maybe you think that a toddler who does such a thing has "sinned," but I disagree.

Is this a fair depiction of what you are saying?
