We have. Being born with sin is enough. Do you really think a crying screaming baby that dosen't get his way is pure? You just don't like the answer.

Mack, you have provided a sort of answer, but the rest of the crew has not.

I am treating them differently than you.

They want to hold absolutely that "all have sinned." Not "all have sin" or "all have a sin nature."

No.

They want to make absolute "all have sinned" so it is entirely reasonable to ask what this sin is that a newborn has committed.

Yes.

A baby lacks the ability to discern right from wrong. Thus it can not be said to be exercising a free will choice to do what is "wrong." It can not sin.
