2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.

Latter-Day Saints reject original sin. It’s actually refreshing because if original sin is true, then how can we charge or convict pedophiles if children are sinful little creatures themselves?

Why don’t you start a thread (open) on the Religion Forum on this statement and ping me to it. If you’re truly interested in further light and knowledge.

Why, of course the Lds reject original sin. They've said Eve's original sin is to be "celebrated" because it was the fall, they say, that has led them toward godhood!

Tell us, 1010, if your children were so pure at birth, why did they need to baptized for the remission of sins (D&C 68:27) at age 8? What sins needed to become in remission if they were perfect angels for 364 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds? [Why, I'm sure you never had to discipline them pre-age 8, eh?]

As for your pedophile Q are you serious? Are you telling me that your worldview is that prisoners should be allowed to do what they want to each other 'cause, hey, after all, they're all guilty criminals, anyway? Is that the truly pathetic Mormon worldview conclusions you've drawn because of its warped belief system?

Logic ain't yer strong suit; is it!

Wow, you don’t understand the doctrine of Original sin (or sin nature) at all, do you 1010?
