Distortion

Korihor falsely characterizes a doctrine taught in the Church of God:

25 Ye say that this people is a guilty and a fallen people, because of the transgression of a parent. Behold, I say that a child is not guilty because of its parents (Alma 30).

Here he is misrepresenting the doctrine of the fall and accusing the Church of teaching something it actually doesn't teach at all. This can be most frustrating when other people not of our faith try to tell us what we believe, especially when it is not what we believe at all.

The truth is of course that the Atonement of Jesus Christ saves us from all sin, including the "original sin" or transgression committed by our first parents. Furthermore, we know that all men will be punished for their own sins and not for Adam's transgression. We are in no way guilty because of what Adam or Eve did. And we also know and openly teach that all children are innocent and pure in the eyes of God and cannot sin until they reach the age of accountability. Any child under that age of accountability who dies will receive salvation.

Korihor is just trying to lie and cheat to make people mad at the Church so that he can win more converts to his cause.
