ALEX - I was reading over Axel's question and have a question
myself. God told Adam and Eve to go out into the
garden.. replemish the earth etc. They
must at that stage be able to have children( or else
God wouldn't have said it). Now.... When Eve ate the
apple then told Adam about it, why didn't Adam just
say to God " Hey God, this woman screwed up, banish
her from the garden and give me another Eve. That way,
he could replenish the earth as God told him and Eve in the beginning.
I mean he could replemish the Earth with the new Eve.
Adam knew it was wrong because God told him NOT to do
it. So when Eve brought the apple to Adam, Adam could
of told God what Eve did and God could of sorted it
out. He(Adam) said he would Obey all of Father's
Commandments, so why didn't he ask for another woman
and tell Eve to take a hike?
JOEL - Adam would not have asked for another woman because he
was already married to Eve and they were "one flesh"
as explained in the scriptures. (Moses 3:21-25)
I doubt God would have allowed the very first married
couple on earth to be divorced.
And they could not have had children while in an
innocent immortal state in the garden, thus
the dilemma they had in trying to obey contradictory
commandments.
"And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he
would not have fallen, but he would have remained in
the garden of Eden. And all things which were created
must have remained in the same state in which they
were after they were created; and they must have
remained forever, and had no end.
And they would have had no children; wherefore they
would have remained in a state of innocence, having no
joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they
knew no sin.
But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of
him who knoweth all things.
Adam fell that men might be; and men care, that they
might have joy."(2 Nephi 2:22-24)
I don't think there is any value in trying to figure
out a better way for the way things happened in the
Garden of Eden. What happened is what was supposed
to happen and that's all there is to it. Have faith
"in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things."
