agree with like if it's a package deal so um to me it's perfectly befitting that if she's the new

eve she would be like eve and instead of being a fallen creature in the sense of actual sin

she would be preserved from that like eve would have been had she not sinned so I think it's a

consequence of her as the mother of God that she was preserved from that so that she

could be in that intimate special role of being the one that gave birth to the son of God and gave to him his human nature and so forth.

But if we think about sin as a specific act and not as a state of being, as most Calvinists and reformed people do, they think of sin as a state of being. It's not defined as James,

but excuse me, by James as an action of the will. This is another reason why infants aren't,

quote, sinners because infants don't commit actual sins. They don't commit sins of the will.

The only sense in which an infant is, I quote, sinner, is that they are deprived of the grace of Eden and they are fallen.

And so they feel the effects of the sin.

And sometimes Paul speaks of that whole class of human beings under the descent of Adam as in sin.

That does not equate to them being actual sinners. It equates to them having the effects of sin.

So, this is, and literally no one believes this anymore, that infants are damned except Calvinists.

Roman Catholics don't believe that infants have inherited guilt. Maybe Lutherans do, I'm not sure.

But there's literally no one else that believes this except for Calvinists.

So you're not going to be Orthodox or Catholic if you believe that infants have actual sin,

which is kind of stupid if you think about it.

Uh...

Uh... Yep.

Yep.

Go ahead.

Africa, you've made all these videos about me.
