Knowledge and Sin

Re Sinful Infants, December Letters

I don’t think relevancy has anything to do with why Christians don’t give much credence to the argument that infants are “born sinners.” They search for answers in the Bible, and from much context (especially in Genesis) it can be determined that sin is a direct and inevitable result of knowledge. Neither Adam nor Eve sinned until they ate from the tree, which God forbade them to eat from. Apply this how you will, but until infants are fully intellectually capable, they are incapable of sin.
