Yeah, when using it in that since - we have to understand that we are all born into this world with sin because everyone after Eve (and she was the first so, ) are born in sin because of Adam and Eve's sinful actions..

As much as we would like for children to understand right away ( i have two and I think they understand full concepts but its more then saying yes and no to fully understand and digest something mentally) but they don't. God is not holding them accountable for there actions because they are not aware of there sin yet.. Same with a person that has brain damage? but if he sinned all his life and when he was 21 - got into a car accident and became brain dead before he could accept Jesus in his life - he would perish and this is why we have to live each day like its our last because you have a chance now, you have a choice now but you choose to live in sin instead of turning to the one that can cleanse us... Jesus!
