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.

Interesting. I can see the distinction.

That's what we're here for, right? TO define these things that we might otherwise fight over, not knowing our language is different.

Sin, to me, is not always externally objective. If I pee on your couch it depends a lot on if I am 2 or 32 how sinful the action is.
