May 4 – Accountability. Romans 5:12; “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”

Mormons believe all men are born perfect. They believe the ‘age of accountability’ is reached at the age of 8 yrs; thus baptizing all kids at that age. D&C 18:42-44.
Ask a Mormon: on the day of baptism, did the 8 yr. old suddenly become a sinful person and if so, what did he/she do to become that way? What were they doing differently when they were 7 yrs old?
As I’ve always said…If this Mormon doctrine was true, how is it I never had to teach my kids how to pitch a fit, or lie? Somehow, they always figured that stuff out on their own.
