How To Disappear Completely

Animals and Sin

Question: Are animals born with original sin? Do they continue to sin?
Animals can be held accountible for their actions: 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. (Gen. 9:5)
Covenantally, all creation fell under Adam. Yet even on their own count, animals have wills that rebel just as much as people have wills that rebel. However, God has chosen to hold mankind responsible both for ushering sin into the world and then for redeeming the world from sin (through Christ the perfect Man first, later through His Holy Spirit working in us). So it's humanity that gives the ultimate accounting to God.

And, after working with our horse this morning, I am inclined to believe experientially that the answer is yes on both counts.
