Acts 17:11 “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
Today we’re asking the Church 2 questions —
1.Why do they condemn baptizing children when they practice the very same thing?
Moroni 8:14-16 “Behold I say unto you, that he that supposeth that little children need baptism is in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity … Wo be unto them that shall pervert the ways of the Lord after this manner, for they shall perish except they repent. Wo unto such, for they are in danger of death, hell, and an endless torment.”
It’s quite obvious the Church condemns the Catholic church (and other churches) who baptize babies.
Yet, in their own doctrines, they advocate doing the very thing they condemn others for doing.
Gospel Topics Baptism “Little Children and Baptism …From latter-day revelation, we know that little children are redeemed through the mercy of Jesus Christ. The Lord said, “They cannot sin, for power is not given unto Satan to tempt little children, until they begin to become accountable before me” (see Doctrine and Covenants 29:46–47). They are not to be baptized until they reach the age of accountability, which the Lord has revealed to be eight years of age (see Doctrine and Covenants 68:27… Anyone who claims that little children need baptism “denieth the mercies of Christ, and setteth at naught the atonement of him and the power of his redemption” (Moroni 8:20; see also verses 8–19, 21–24).”
2.What constitutes ‘little children’? While they’re not baptizing babies, what is the comprehension level of an 8 year old?
Be sure to ask the Mormon you know what they think of this!

So a 7 year old doesn’t blame his younger sibling for breaking or spilling something? That is called a lie and it is a sin. God is absolutely merciful but little kids still sin.
