If you could see into their [infant] hearts they would be just as corrupt as adult hearts.

[Replying to 'how does a baby lie?']

A baby may not be able to speak the English (or any other) language, but he can communicate falsely. Is the Bible [Psalm 58:3] incorrect when it says the wicked go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies?

Well Helen, I guess you can come to the conclusion that Yes, sad but true,they [infants] can [sin]........as soon as they are born,you hear anger in their cries.....and some are angry their whole life!!!!!.

Some *crying* is sinful. It all depends upon what the infant is crying about. It is much like my anger. Sometimes the things I get angry over are sinful. Helen had previously brought up the point that anger "without cause" is the only time anger is sin. I might disect this a little further, anger that does not have Gods intention and desires foundating it, is sin.

[On the types of sins done by infants]

For example: the baby has been fed, burped, clean diaper, loved, etc. Now you lay the baby to bed knowing full well that all needs have been met and the baby cries. At the time the baby cries it is leading you to believe that there is something wrong and if you pick up the baby and it stops crying then the baby through its' cry has lied and will continue this tactic as long as it works. The baby's only possible motive is SELF GRATIFICATION.

A baby *fussing* and getting angry becuase he is hungry, is sin!

God's ways do not have to be justified to our fleshly minds. Looking upon the outward appearance infants certainly seem to be innocent--to us. But God looks upon the heart. It is the heart of sin that dooms us.

All people who are subject to death are in Adam. All infants are subject to death; therefore, all infants are in Adam. All who die are in Adam. All who are in Adam are sinners; therefore, all who die are sinners. All who are subject to death are sinners. All infants are subject to death; therefore, all infants are sinners.

In the same way, we don't know what babies can do that is sin, but they must do some sin, otherwise they wouldn't be able to die.

The US Constitution gave the Federal government no legal right to attack the Confederate States of America, yet they attacked anyway. Since anything not specifically granted to the Federal government is a right granted to the States, the Federal government was wrong in attacking the Confederacy. Therefore, doesn't that make Abe Lincoln a cold blooded murderer when he used the Union troops in order to force the Confederacy back into the Union?

It's quite simple. If God wanted interacial marriages, then whites would have been born to blacks, Indians into orientals, blacks into Indians, whites into orientals, and so on and so on.

But no. God kept the races seperate except for economic mingling and/or slavery or servitude.

It has always been dispised by all races, until recently with some perverted liberal thinking.

By and large I believe that God created the races for a reason. And I believe that the races belong together-white with white, black with black, red with red, yellow with yellow. White should be looking for a white marriage and black should be looking for a black marriage--get my drift??"

"Now, as a Senior Pastor of a SBC conservative church--would I marry a white/black in a church sanctioned marriage?? Not if the parents had a problem with it or if my members had a problem with it.

[On bi-racial marriage]

I think there are two races: Adam's race and Christ's race of new creatures. (And we ought to marry within our own race)

Don't athiest always point fingers at Christanity and mention the diversity of beliefs as proof there isn't a god? I wish to do the same thing to them as proof that there is a god...
