Nope, there never was any such thing as a "FIXED" "Age of accountabiliy" just another Catholic invention based on Old Testament Judaism. One is "Accountable" the FIRST TIME they SIN.
YOU are gonna have to figure out how a newborn baby SINS (when they don't even know where their nose is).
Just like your "Inherited SIN fantasy". The bible's clear: NOBODY IS PUNISHED FOR SOMEBODY ELSE'S SIN. And we all have the same nature - Adam, Jesus, and you. It's called "Human nature". You and I allowed ours to "Conceive". Jesus didn't.
Adam's nature never changed.

Well, I never said anything about age of accountability until you introduced it into the conversation, just as you have introduced other elements to rail against as if I said anything about them, when I had not said anything about them. I wonder why you do that. You seem desperate to stick me with something detestable. And I already clarified that the "original sin" words came from a source I quoted, but you like to harp on it also. I even asked what term you would prefer instead. Did you bother answering? Or were you too preoccupied with your rants against me when you do not even understand what I am talking about, while you have knee jerk reactions to terms you do not like even when what they describe is based on what the Bible teaches about the nature of humanity?
Does this help?

If the Jailer was not reborn again, Why would he ask "What must I do to be saved" (delivered)? Saved, according to Greek translation means "deliver".
The same question that the Born again Jews ask in Acts 2:38, when their guilty conscience was "PRICKED"
The stony heart of the natural man (1 Cor 2:14) is exchanged for a fleshy heart that can be pricked to feel spiritual guilt. (Ezk 11:19).
The stony heart of the natural man had a very different response, when he heard the same sermon from Stephen, that Peter preached to the Jews in acts 2:38. They were "cut to the heart" and gnashed on Stephen with their teeth.
Believing the gospel is a product of already being born again. The newborn babe in Christ does not believe in the gospel, until he has matured enough (by being taught) to come unto a knowledge of the gospel, therefore, being saved (delivered from his ignorance).
There is a deliverance (salvation, that is not eternal) when a born again child of God comes unto a knowledge of the truth. salvation, according to Greek means a deliverance.

Like I said, you seem desperate to stick me with something detestable. I did not even use those words. Those are your words ("sin of being conceived"), and you wish to accuse me as if I'd uttered them. You bear false witness. Really, Bob, what is your problem? Since you don't believe me, read your Bible. You will discover that those not born again of the Holy Spirit of God are under condemnation.
Hebrews 11:6
I hope that you do know that the natural man, according to 1 Cor 2:14, cannot have faith in spiritual things, thinking them to be foolishness.
