Hi DaveH, We lost the "image of God" when Adam fell and Gen 5:3 teaches us that Seth who carried the godly seed was born in the image of Adam rather than the image of God and it goes downhill from there. All of us are all
born with inherited iniquity from the Fathers and the walk of salvation is a lifetime walk of grace to return to the image we lost in the first Adam. Jesus is the ONLY exception. He said "If you've seen me you've seen the Father and he said it before his death, burial, and resurrection. judyt From: Dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DAVEH: I'm hesitant to jump into another's discussion, but it sure seems to me that the simple answer to this may be realized IF one considers that children may not be born with sinners, but rather they become sinners when they learn to discern right from wrong.....and then choose wrong instead of right thereafter. IMHO, Jesus was born innocent, and remained sinless. On the other hand.....we are born innocent, and make choices that cause us to sin.
