This is subtle. It is a carefully contrived argument which plays upon a -truth to put forward a falsehood. To be sure, all mankind are fallen creatures as a result of the transgression of our first parents in Eden. The Lord, however, atoned for the “original guilt” (Moses 6:54) associated with that specific act of transgression. A child is indeed not guilty because of its parents (see Articles of Faith 1:2), but the child does inherit a fallen or mortal nature through conception, a nature which must be renovated through the cleansing powers of the blood of Christ.
