There is a teaching that the mother's womb is a mikvah for the baby, that the baby is born pure and sinless. A mikvah being a physical means toward a spiritual reality is reflected in the womb and the newborn.

It flies in the face of the xtian idea of original sin tainting all human beings from birth. All human beings are born perfectly innocent, with the potential to remain close to Hashem, their Creator, or if drifted away, to return through teshuva.

In the sense of Gnostic Christianity and the source of Ontological and traditional teachings of Sin, it kind of contradicts the general teaching that Christians incurred through Tertullian, justin, and many others that promoted the "Logos doctrine", in which "Gnosticism: all flesh is evil" is supported using variuos scriptures..."born in iniquity" and so on but that isn't really the case is it, Man is not really born as sinners, but born "into sin and shapen in iniquity, Job said man drinks iniquity like water, what does this mean, it means we have a natural affinity to sin from our birth, not that we are Born sinners as Gnostic logos doctrine believers adhere to. Just my perspective.
