Just to let you know, Martha, I have zero respect for the theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I also have zero respect for the way they deliberately mistranslate and misquote scriptures.

If you've read the book of Genesis yourself, you'd know that it says nothing about Adam eating the fruit because he knew Eve would have to leave the garden. First of all, God never said that the punishment for eating of the tree would be banishment. No, He said it would be death. And since when are we supposed to choose our spouses over the will of God? See, the Mormon doctrine about the Fall of Man is both theologically inconsistent and scripturally inaccurate.

The Mormans try to make the Bible fit Joseph Smith Jr.'s theology rather than try to make their theology and doctrines fit the Bible. ((shrug)) If that's how they want to do things, fine...but if that's the case, I really wish they'd provide some evidence of those golden tablets and magical spectacles.
