Like a baby, the baby is born a sinner, however until it sins, it was innocent, however its sin nature will soon be manifested.
Well yes...in a fallen world where the knowledge of God, let alone relationship with Him, has been lost. That very separation is the definition of man's death, aka the state sometimes called "original sin". But consider that if God creates man to
be a sinner then every most heinous and atrocious and deceitful act was directly willed and caused by
Him. And that makes Him less trustworthy than satan, and heaven potentially worse then hell, if any of it be true to begin with in that case. Anyway, to be born with a sin nature where sin will inevitably manifest as soon as its able to is
not to be born innocent. We're actually just born with something
missing, however, that "something" being God immediately present to and dwelling within.
Man wasn't created as a sinner; God created everything
good-because
He is good, sheer goodness itself. So good and evil must be distinguished between, in our world and in God to begin with. Sin/evil is inherently
opposed to God even if He allows it to occur, caused by the abuse of the gift of free will possessed by created beings, for a time and for His purposes. Ostensibly so that we may, directly and viscerally, learn a lesson the hard way: that sin is wrong, God is right, and good, and we need Him, direct communion with Him, desperately in order for good to prevail in our selves and in our world.
Man's "problem", his imperfection, is simply that he's
not God who, alone, is perfect in the absolute sense. And very inherent and unavoidable imperfection of man is the ingredient that, when combined with free will, can allow man to foolishly think he's equal to God first of all. Adam actually thought he could go it alone; by denying God's authority he effectively denied His godhood, becoming his own "god". All other sin flowed from that first act of disobedience, that separation from the author and creator of our souls, of our very existence, with Whom man must be freely subjugated to and in communion with in order for righteousness to truly and fully reign in us. And love, as in the greatest commandment, is the only authentic way that such obedience can occur; love
defines righteousness, in fact. And patiently bringing us to that point, to that light, to love as He does, has been God's whole purpose since the Fall, since
before the Fall, since before creation IOW. Adam, IMO, most likely possesses that love by now. It begins here on earth with f
aith, reversing Adam's lack of belief in God. When the time was ripe Jesus came to restore that very faith, by fully revealing the true God to us so that we may believe, and so be reconciled and ultimately enter a communion of love with, God the Trinity.
