What year did the church (LDS) decide that this "truth" was now false?
Two significant leaders taught it, President Joseph Fielding Smith and Charles Penrose,
counselor in the First Presidency.
“It is most natural and just that he who commits the wrong should pay the penalty—atone
for his wrongdoing. Therefore, when Adam was the transgressor of the law, justice
demanded that he, and none else, should answer for the sin and pay the penalty with his
life. But Adam, in breaking the law, himself became subject to the curse, and being
under the curse could not atone, or undo what he had done. Neither could his children,
for they also were under the curse, and it required one who was not subject to the curse
to atone for that original sin. Moreover, since we were all under the curse, we were
also powerless to atone for our individual sins” (JFS, Chapter 3).
"There are two general divisions of sin, viz., original and actual. Original sin is that
which was committed by the parents of the race, the consequences of which pass upon
all of their posterity. Actual sin is that committed by each individual and for which he is
personally responsible. Adam and Eve broke the divine law given to them in the garden,
the penalty for which was death, natural and spiritual ; the first being the separation of
the spirit and the body, and the second, banishment from the presence of God. The taint
descended to their offspring" (Penrose, Mormon Doctrine Plain and Simple, Second Leaf,
page 13).
"He died not only to atone for original sin but for actual sin, and to become the mediator
between God and man ... His blood was shed for the sins of the whole world. For original
sin unconditionally, for actual sin conditionally" (page 14).
The concept of "original sin" was then referred to as foolish, abominable, and erroneous
in other teachings (Book of Mormon Seminary Teacher Manual and the June 2006 Liahona).
One other teaching even says "The Book of Mormon refutes notions that the Fall of Adam
tainted mankind with original sin" (President Russell M. Nelson, November 2017 Ensign).
The Book of Mormon does teach this "tainting" aspect (Mosiah 16:3-4; Helaman 14:16;
Ether 3:2). Even little children need to have the curse of Adam removed from them (Moroni 8:8).
Original sin, rephrased as original guilt, is also mentioned in the POGP. "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" (Moses 6:54). The first instance of these parents
is Adam and Eve, referred to as sinners (Alma 42:1-7).
The Roman Catholic Church, in catechism, teaches baptism removes original sin and all
personal sin and makes the person a new creature (CCC 1263, 1265, 1267, 1272, 1279).
