==Pregunta: ¿Qué creen los Santos de los Últimos Días con respecto al concepto de "pecado original"?==
{{translate}}
===Latter-day Saints believe that "original sin" as commonly understood in many branches of western Christianity was not a doctrine taught by the Bible, Jesus, or the apostles===

The Second Article of Faith states that "We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression." There is a form of "original sin" in LDS theology, but it is a matter that has been resolved through the atonement of Christ:

<blockquote>
And our father Adam spake unto the Lord, and said: Why is it that men must repent and be baptized in water?  And the Lord said unto Adam: Behold I have forgiven thee thy transgression in the Garden of Eden. Hence came the saying abroad among the people, that ''the Son of God hath atoned for original guilt'', wherein the sins of the parents cannot be answered upon the heads of the children, for they are whole from the foundation of the world. ({{s||Moses|6|53-54}}, emphasis added.)
</blockquote>

Thus, LDS theology explicitly rejects the idea that Adam's "original sin" results in a condemnation of the entire human race. Efforts to insist that all of humanity is thereby tainted, all desires are corrupted, or all infants are damned without baptism are untrue. Because of temptation and the instinctive desires of physical bodies, human beings wrestle with the desire to sin ({{b||Matthew|26|41}}; {{s||Mosiah|3|19}}), but Adam's actions in the Garden of Eden have no bearing on this.

As Wilford Woodruff taught:

<blockquote>
What is called the original sin was atoned for through the death of Christ irrespective of any action on the part of man; also man's individual sin was atoned for by the same sacrifice, but on condition of his obedience to the Gospel plan of salvation when proclaimed in his hearing.” <ref>{{CD1|author=Wilford Woodruff|article=Fulfillment of Ancient Prophesy|vol=1|date=Sept 1, 1889|start=344}}</ref>
</blockquote>

Concluded Elaine Pagels:

<blockquote>
Astonishingly, Augustine’s radical views prevailed, eclipsing for future generations of Western Christians the consensus of the first three centuries of Christian tradition. <ref>Elaine Pagels, “The Politics of Paradise: Augustine’s exegesis of Genesis 1-3 versus that of John Chrysostom,” ''Harvard Theological Review'' 78 (1985): 68.</ref>
</blockquote>

Original sin is the innovation.  It is a post-biblical novelty without scriptural support.

Given that the doctrine is explicitly repudiated by [[Children_are_capable_of_sin|modern revelation]], the Saints feel no need to accept it.  

Clearly, any effort to exclude the Church from Christendom because they reject original sin must also exclude several hundred million Eastern Orthodox and Anabaptists.  Clearly, such a standard would be nonsensical.
