Re: A proposed new "Good Person Test", the childrens version

This must be the biggest misconception there is as a child that is just born can hardly be held responsible for actions he/she has not undertaken yet.

Well then let us be thankful that you don't run the Universe. The Lord knows every sin that will be committed by the little bundle of Satan, and must Justly(tm) punish that child for every pre-committed sin that he or she would eventually execute. Our human minds have a hard time conceiving of being totally just because babies are just so cute, but what we don't see is the stain of sin upon them that the Lord sees, and that is what counts.

Why should an infant have to carry the burden of the wrong doings of someone that has long gone?

As it was pointed out to you--I didn't make the rules, I just follow them! The Lord has a penchant for executing justice to the following generations of sin(Deuteronomy 23:2, 1 Samuel 3:12-13, Isaiah 14:21, just for starters). In fact, we are still paying for Adam's sin, after approximately 6,000 years!
