This perspective understands birth into flesh as a fair beginning: the same individual enters this age innocently, without conscious access to the former conflict. Family, culture, and circumstance influence us, but eventually our freely chosen conduct reveals what is genuinely within us. Where Scripture supports it: Romans 9 emphasizes that Jacob and Esau had done neither good nor evil in this flesh age before birth. Ecclesiastes says the spirit returns to God, suggesting an origin with Him, while the repeated call to choose requires a meaningful present decision. Why it matters: Former memory would turn this life into a continuation made under visible certainty. Innocence allows present choices to belong to the individual rather than merely to remembered sides.

KJV passages and notes

ROMANS 9:11 — KJV (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand…) NOTE: Paul qualifies works in this age. The verse does not explicitly say memory was removed; that is Call My G’s explanation of the test.

Conclusions and suppositions

EXPLICITLY WRITTEN Flesh life begins before its own works, and Scripture repeatedly treats present choices as accountable. CALL MY G CONCLUSION Call My G understands birth as an innocent entry in which conscious memory of the former conflict is withheld. SUPPOSITION / OPEN EXPLORATION Scripture does not describe the neurological or spiritual mechanism of forgetting.

Consistency test

Does this explanation preserve both prior identity and genuine present responsibility without blaming anyone for circumstances they cannot remember?
