Aineo wrote:Not really, Catholicism teaches that children are born with the stain of sin (all human beings are guilty of Adam's sin) and therefore are hellbound (or have to spend some time in purgatory) unless they are baptized. My stance is that children are born with a sin nature. David wrote:
Psalms 51:5
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
NKJV
Psalms 58:3
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb;
They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
NKJV
There are a plethora of Scriptures that tell us that all humans are born with a sin nature.
