Genesis 3–4; Moses 4–5 (Come, Follow Me)

The Two Trees

by V.H. Cassler

(This is from a presentation given at the 2010 FAIR Conference)

The Restored Gospel teaches me that the term “God” means an exalted woman and an exalted man married in the new and everlasting covenant (and we also get that from D&C 132). We are taught that there is no God without men and women loving each other as equals. Heavenly Father is not an old bachelor. In fact, the one who’s an old bachelor is Satan. This is revolutionary.

Second, the Restored Gospel teaches me that you will have your male or female body forever. It is not a curse, but a great gift and a blessing that you had to prove yourself worthy to have. Women in the audience, your breasts, your womb, your ovaries, are not cursings, sisters, they are blessings. And the Restored Gospel also teaches me that I will be married forever, and that I will have children forever, and that that life of being a woman married to my sweetheart and having children forever is the life that will bring me the fullest joy.

Fall of Adam and Eve  

Belief in a literal Adam and Eve

Question: What is the Church’s position on Adam and Eve?

The Latter-day Saint view of the creation of the earth

 

Defending Agency

 

What was the Nature of Satan’s Premortal Proposal?

 

Question: If God intended the Fall of Adam and Eve, why did he forbid the fruit? Why did he not simply create them as mortals? 

 

Question: If “the wages of sin is death” as described in Romans 6:23, and the fall of Adam and Eve was a transgression rather than a sin, then why did it introduce death into the world?

 

Question: How did the transgression of Adam and Eve introduce sin into the world?

 

Question: If the transgression of Adam and Eve was actually a blessing for them, then why did they feel guilty and afraid when God approached them in the Garden of Eden after they committed their transgression?

 

Question: If the transgression of Adam and Eve resulted in physical and spiritual death, then why are we only subject to spiritual death for eternity if we do not repent?
