Akibatnya diturunkan bukan? Bayi yang (katanya) tidak berdosa ternyata bisa mati juga bukan?
A New Born Baby is not a Sinner.“Thy hands have made me and fashioned me.” Psalm 119:73
“Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Psalm 139:13, 14

“Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us and not we ourselves”. Psalm 100:3
“Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? “Mal. 2:10
IT IS GOD WHO FASHIONS EACH OF US IN OUR MOTHERS WOMBS.
Are we to understand from these passages that God fashions men into sinners in their mother’s womb?We are all created upright.And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…So God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen.1:26,27
Ye are gods; and all of you are the children of the most High. Psalm 82:6
For in the image of God made he man. Gen. 9:6
Man is the image and glory of God. I Cor. 11:7
Men are made after the similitude of God. James 3:9
The Lord formeth the spirit of man within him. Zech. 12:1
The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 33:4
He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things. Acts 17:25
We are the offspring of God. Acts 17:29
I am the root and the offspring of David. Rev. 22:16
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. Eccl. 7:29
Sin is by definition, individual in nature, being either a violation of transgression of God’s law (1 John 3:4)
Sin is a violation of our conscience (Romans 14:23).
“Every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death” (James 1:1415).
A BABY IS NOT A SINNER.Since a baby does not even know his right hand from his left (Jonah 4:11), how can he/she commit sin by not doing what he/she is incapable of doing?Our sins are a result of our own lust and desires, not because of the sin of Adam.Our spirit came from God and will return to Him (Ecclesiastes 12:7)
The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the
righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him”
(Ezekiel 18:20).
18:3-4, Jesus declared, “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
“For such(children) is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19:14,
“Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 18:3-4, Jesus declared,
“Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as the little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
So why did Jesus tell us to be like them inorder to “enter the kingdom of heaven”?
Jesus would not ask us to be more like a sinner in order to go to heaven.
Children are innocent of sin until they are able to reach a certain level of maturity.http://theorthodoxchurch.info/blog/ocrc/2009/06/original-sin/---------
