Duran,
All of us are born with an inherited corruption from Adam that ensures we will inevitably sin. This is often referred to as original sin. While God created Adam and Eve in His own likeness (Genesis 5:1), the Bible says that, once Adam and Eve fell and became sinful, Adam fathered children “in his own likeness” (Genesis 5:3, Romans 5:12). All human beings have inherited a sinful nature through Adam’s original act of disobedience; Adam became sinful, and he passed that sinfulness along to all his descendants.
The Bible does not directly address an age of accountability for children. But, one verse that may speak to the issue indirectly is Romans 1:20, “Since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”
According to this, mankind’s guilt before God is based, in part, on a rejection of what can be “clearly seen” of God’s existence, eternality, and power. Children who are too young to understand things “clearly seen” or reasoning about God in general, should be excused from condemnation in my opinion.
Regarding Lazarus
I think your reasoning on the Lazurus question on why he died again, is based, in part, on a Watchtower corruption of the word "death". This a PRIMARY method of deception that the WT employs, changing definitions.
I personally like to refer to Websters 1828 dictionary so that I can get biblical definitions commonly understood after the Reformation and before the rise of modern materialism. .
DEATH
- In theology, perpetual separation from God, and eternal torments; called the second death Revelation 2:10.
- Separation or alienation of the soul from God; a being under the dominion of sin, and destitute of grace or divine life; called spiritual death
EX. - We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. 1 John 3:1. Luke I.
Ex. - Gen 35: 18-20: And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
So, according to scripture, when Lazarus died, his body became separated from its soul / spirit. But, he was not in a position to accept the gift of "everlasting life" because his soul / spirit still posessed a sin nature and the atonement had not yet been offered.
"For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord"
The bible is clear that our crimes go with us when we die. The idea that we get a clean slate when we die and thus deserve life (reintergration of soul/body/spirit) is totally a WT fabrication, and only serves to minimize the magnitude of the choices we make.
There will be a personal judgment after we die (Hebrews 9 27). Unless we have a blood covering (and the belief needed to accept it) found only in the new covenant, we will be resurrected (body, soul, spirit rejoined) to stand trial in the flesh at the Great White Throne, after the 1000 yr. reign. This is called the Resurrection of Damnation, the 2nd death.
This is not the fate for believers who agree to "die" now, and a receive a new spirit. Believers get judged after they die as well, just not at the GWT. The are judged at the Bema Seat, aka "The Judgement Seat of Christ". This is a "believers Judgment" for rewards based on performance as a Christian, and not to determine salvation or guilt. For the believer, that was all settled at Calvary.
The New Testament teaches, as Martin Luther put it:
"born once, die twice; born twice, die once"
