TIDBIT: GOD cannot issue a contrary commandment. HE is not a creator of confusion. That is Satan tactic. Giving the fact, like a child, it can receive instruction, as mortal parents, it is our nature to rear our offspring with such. What did the fruit provide Eve? Why instantly? Or was it?

Tom, remember this quote from President Young?

Remember, I added the word 'Instruction' in the second question.

UPDATE: well, I passed Draper's article last night after arriving home, to my bookworm daughter #5 [13-years old] and told her give me her opinionate review on what she read. She is the same one whom digested Cleon Skousen’s Atonement article and what I put in writing concerning I AM – Intelligence are [complete article]. The next hour-half, I was in shock-n-awe, noting her intellectual capacity with reviewing all the said documents, she began a series of questions, “if this…then that?” Whoa! Out of the mouth of babes, speaks spiritual utterance. Next, while in the paternal conversation, I raised the questions on what she thought about what I described of being outside of the known universe looking in. I gave her some observational viewpoint of grading of intelligences and physical body and the I AMs. My feelings after we ended our conversation, her generation will be the ones that the Lord may open the sealed portion of the plates; it would be easier for them to accept what is written without hesitation. Quite amazing children today. I feel that David O McKay statement, we are in the days where the Lord has sent forth a royal generation.

What if Adam & Eve, never ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? We do know that GOD placed this tree in the center of the garden for a wise purpose; perhaps, to tempt our first mortal parents. Overtime, the Godhead, along those ministering spirits provides instruction both of them. What will be the outcome? Ponder the question carefully before replying.

Kona, how much research have you done concerning the historicity of the BOM? Just curious...

Do you mean, it was the Bishops fault, they stop attending church?

Apologize for half-hazard answers.

Most people don't realize how important it is to remove the 'excessive baggage' [sins] from our shoulders. Move forward again and return back to the path. The duty of a Branch President, Bishop, and Stake President is not to condemn the member but to ensure he/she has the every opportunity to receive all the benefits pertaining to the fullness of time. This group of men are there to support what ever they can for the membership.

Our testimony stands alone as idependent from others.

Concur...

Appreciate the candor remarks and review of the book! I stand corrected.

Ok, I finally reviewed the video and it brings tears to my eyes when I seen Joseph faced tarred.

Apache?

Article cited: Journal of Discourses : Compound Object Viewer Then go to page 50.

What is home teaching? LOL

Awesome...

Anyone understand the term 'Hubris' and 'Ate'?

Someone asked the question, if the priesthood holder election is called for sure, does the woman, who is not fully commitmented to the Gospel but not sinned beyond repentance allowed to be with him for eternally?

I understand. Plurality of GODs makes sense to me. But I see it more or less, there other Heavenly Parents that are achieving the same for there progeny throughout the our own universe.

Oh no!

Actual, if the Bishop has the key of discernment, he will know. I been in interviews, where the person would say something that is not true, then I would come back and say no to the interviewer or you are not ready. Next line comes from the spirit, "Is there anything else you like to discuss?" There was person I interviewed, sobbing with tears, I would of threw the book at but the spirit constrained me to tell that brother his sins are forgiven. What transpired and what the Savior thought about him was two different points. The Savior always wins...humor. We just don't know the will of the Savior or the FATHER in some matters and need to rely on the spirit to convey it vice the book or manual. Then we have councilors, who would intervene and convene as a Bishopric to discuss this issue. Through counseling and prayer, they would come to agreement. We have to allow the spirit to make the final determination as it was with the Adulterer that was taken to the Lord.

Seek out the missionaries in your area.

Approaching half-century. lol By the way, I have english background in my blood. My mother was born in England. Both my wife and I are from the house of Windsor by gene pool after researching a few years back. Luckily, we are fifth cousins. LOL
