Dr. Zacharius Ursinus, a major figure and leader in the Protestant Reformation, was right when he said, "The argument which is drawn from these declarations made in relation to the Messiah, is most convincing; for if the humanity which he assumed was from the seed of Abraham, and of David, then he had a real human nature... Christ took this upon himself, and not a nature created out of nothing, or bought down from heaven... The flesh of Christ is the flesh of Adam..." (The Commentary of Dr. Zacharias Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism, translated by George Washington Williard, Published by Elm Street Printing Co, 1888 Edition, p. 209)
Any thoughts on Psa 51:5; 58:3; Rom 8:3?

the bible speaks of two types of deaths, ( The Greeks were very precise with their words, things kind a got lost or rather water down when it was translated into english) the death of the flesh, which we all will face someday, and the eternal "death" which only some will face. The death that sin brings points towards the eternal death, babies who did not get a chance to know right from wrong is not able to sin, therefore yes they die in the flesh, but their soul will be with God.

Let me ask you this, if there is no original sin, why do babies die? If death is the wages of sin, why do infants die seconds after leaving the womb? Whose sin did that die for?

I find it interesting that you would quote many ancient writings and fathers in church history about original sin but you did not quote history for your own opinion. Also, you did not give any of the original sin passages to deal with them. You fail to understand any of this because of the way you understand and read your Bible. I can say with absolute certainty that Piper, Washer, Sproul, and Macarthur would not appreciate being tagged in a video like this.
