...yet Scripture states over and over we are dead in OUR sins.
...and this is the problem with starting with a false presupposition, you arrive at faulty conclusions.
You forgot D....an infant is not spiritually dead until sinning as Adam and every other human since.
Are you saying they would not been seen as sinners, but as innocent by God if they were to die?
Are ALL of us born 'clean" and when we chose to sin get the sin nature than?
