Is man born with sins?

[Gladys]

There is a debate that I hear people debating on, is man born with sins? If you found yourself on this debate, what will you comment? Or let me ask you, were you born with sins and is there hope thereafter?

I was not born with sin. You will be held accountable for what you did personally.

Man is only born with the first sin by our first parents (Adam and Eve). This sin is done away with at baptism so that is to say there are no other sins in the child immediately after baptism.

Man is not born with sin but with the nature of sin. This means that he is prone to trials and temptations but if one grows with the fear for the Lord he will be able to resist sin and live virtuous all through. We were under a curse initially but when Jesus came and died, all was finished. We turned a new leaf and now only those who do against the will of God will perish. We suffer no more the curse of our parents. Let us stick to the truth in the Gospel and we shall be blameless.

Man is not born with sin. We are born sinners, but all that changed when Jesus died for us on the cross. He died for all our sins and through this we are cleansed and this is where we have new profound hope.

[luicer]

We are not accountable for sin during our birth until we actually do sin. Jesus’ death disregards human logic, and you really shouldn't expect human logic to be able to explain the every move of the God who created the human mind in the first place. We are born sinners but not with sin and it is sin that separates us from being who we were when born!

Let me ask you something, when a child opens the sugar jar and licks sugar from the jar, then the parent comes later in the day and notices that sugar has been licked, when he/she confronts the child, does she not deny? Isn't the child lying? Isn't this a sin?

[dacox]

@ iviivi yea. That definitely is sin.

If the child denies, definitely she knows it is wrong and punishable. It however depends on if her parents ever taught her about the commandments of the Lord. Otherwise that is a sin.

@Lynkez what if someones parents never taught them about the commandments or even they themselves didn't know about them, will that justify whatever wrong this man will do? definitely I doubt. what do you think about.
