Subject: Was Adam and Eve's fall a good thing? |
Bible Note: Paraclete; This is really preposterous. There is falsehood here, but it's not in Eve's words to the serpent. You claim to know God's exact words to Eve. You don't. The Bible only records Eve's account of God's words. So if Eve did indeed "embellish the true words of God", you couldn't possibly know it. You also put the words "in that day" into Eve's mouth. Not even the Bible published on the LDS web site has Eve saying those words. Readers of the Bible will readily understand that Eve's initial sin was her disobedience to God, not some imagined "lie" that you have constructed for her. But perhaps I'm being too harsh. Maybe it was Joseph Smith who embellished the true words of God and you're simply repeating what you've been taught. I join with mommaphs in her prayer that your eyes may be opened to God's truth.
