Children Lacking Knowledge
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
This verse matters because it highlights the innocence of children who do not yet grasp right from wrong. It challenges the premise that sin is automatically inherited rather than chosen.
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
They contend this passage points to a specific historical moment, not a blanket theological statement against original sin. Muslim Response: By emphasising children’s lack of moral awareness, the verse contradicts the notion of universal guilt at birth, supporting the concept that sin arises from conscious wrongdoing.
