Why are babies considered sinners?

Babies are considered by some Christian traditions to be born with "original sin" because they inherit a fallen human nature and a sinful condition from Adam and Eve's disobedience, meaning they are predisposed to sin, not that they've personally committed it. This doctrine, rooted in passages like Romans 5:12, explains humanity's separation from God and the universal need for salvation, with many churches believing baptism cleanses this inherited state, even though infants are seen as innocent of personal wrongdoing.

The idea that humans are born sinners stems primarily from Judeo-Christian theology, particularly the doctrine of Original Sin, which teaches that humanity inherited a fallen, sinful nature from Adam and Eve's disobedience, creating an inherent inclination towards wrongdoing (concupiscence) and separation from God, though interpretations vary on whether this means inherited guilt or just a tendency to sin. This is supported by Bible verses like Romans 5:12 and Psalm 51:5, explaining why children naturally struggle with negative behaviors and need teaching.

While all other sins are forgivable through repentance, this specific act involves attributing the work of the Holy Spirit (demonstrating Jesus's divinity) to evil, representing a final, willful turning away from God's salvation, as seen in the Pharisees' accusations against Jesus in Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:28-29, and Luke 12:10.

The key difference lies in the intent: heartfelt thanks are good, while using the phrase carelessly or disrespectfully goes against principles of reverence for the divine. 

Is saying Jeez a sin?

Saying "jeez" isn't universally a sin; it's a mild exclamation, but some religious perspectives view it as taking the Lord's name in vain because it's a euphemism for Jesus, especially if used disrespectfully in anger or surprise, though others see it as a harmless way to avoid profanity, with intent being key. Many traditions encourage replacing such phrases with words that honor God, focusing on speech that builds up rather than trivializes sacred names, though its meaning has evolved.

Yes, saying "God damn it" (or "God dang it") is widely considered a sin in Christian traditions, as it violates the commandment not to take God's name in vain, effectively using it disrespectfully or as a curse, showing a lack of reverence for God's holiness and power over judgment.
