I believe in the big Picture God knew what was going to happen Just think about God tested Adam and Eve Didn’t he? God tests us in order for us to grow and mature and to share and bare out testimonies to others to help those in need God all omnipotent all knowing knew what Adam and Eve would do Satan on the other hand didn’t know but was there to try and destroy them Satans Plan failed fast forward to today we are here because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ Gods plan to redeem his own back to him that’s true love !

Great Study ! Don’t forget that man has a Spirit and Carnal flesh and we have free agency to choose to live by the Spirit or by the flesh in order to live with the fulness of Joy we need to program it in our mind and step out and faith and live it out everyday !

Alma 42 16 Now, repentance could not come unto men except there were a punishment, which also was eternal as the life of the soul should be, affixed opposite to the plan of happiness, which was as eternal also as the life of the soul. 17 Now, how could a man repent except he should sin? How could he sin if there was no law? How could there be a law save there was a punishment? These verses emphasize the interconnectedness of law, sin, punishment, and repentance in God's plan for His children these verses jumped up in my Spirit God knew that Adam and Eve would fall and that he needed to put a plan in place for sin , repentance, and redemption through the Atonement of his Son Jesus Christ !

I agree what are you going to do with the outcome ? You utilize it for the ministry of God why do you think we each have a testimony? Because God wants us to share it with the world and with someone that is going through a tough time !

It all comes down to the choices we make will dictate if God will bless us or not if we make a bad choice we get consequences which could be a good thing because we learn from the bad choice that we made !

Blessings and curses are foundational themes in scripture, where obedience to the commandments of God typically brings blessings, and disobedience brings consequences or curses. This framework teaches accountability and emphasizes the importance of choosing righteousness. In Deuteronomy 11:26-28, it lays out this principle clearly: “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.” This shows that blessings and curses are often used by the Lord to guide and encourage His people to follow His path. Blessings are not just rewards; they're encouragement to stay faithful and reminders of His promises and love. On the other hand, the hardships that come from turning away from God's commandments serve as a reminder and a chance to correct course, urging us back to a path that leads to spiritual growth and happiness.

Alma 40 What a great Scripture Reading that contains hope depending how you are living your life prior to your death Alma the younger talking to his Son about the resurrection! Alma 40 is a chapter in the Book of Mormon where Alma the Younger explains to his son Corianton about the state of the soul between death and resurrection, a period often referred to as the "state of the soul in happiness or in misery." In it, Alma clarifies that the spirits of the righteous are received into a state of happiness, called paradise, where they rest from all their troubles and sorrows. Conversely, the spirits of the wicked are cast out into outer darkness where there is weeping and wailing. Alma emphasizes that this is based on the justice of God. Alma also explains that there is no definite knowledge about the precise time of the resurrection, but that the resurrection is a restoration; everyone will regain their perfect frame, and everything will be restored to its proper and perfect frame. This chapter offers comfort and clarification about the post-mortal existence and assures that the plan of happiness includes a resurrection and a final judgment.

Alma 39:14 14 Seek not after riches nor the vain things of this world; for behold, you cannot carry them with you. 3 Nephi 13:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. These two verses are Parallel to each other they both teach on the same principal that we need to seek on the Kingdom and it righteousness first then God will meet our needs not our wants because the wants is our flesh and the things of the flesh are temporal and things of the Spirit are eternal and everlasting God knows our heart because he searches always to see that it is aligned with his will keep your eye fixed on him he will guide you to all truth !

Alma 38:5 5 And now my son, Shiblon, I would that ye should remember, that as much as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day ! We see in this Verse that Alma is teaching his son Shiblon to trust God because God will deliver him from all of his trials and troubles we still serve the same God who can deliver us from any situation and afflictions the key is for us is to submit to him and put total trust in him !

Alma 37:16 16 But if ye keep the commandments of God, and do with these things which are sacred according to that which the Lord doth command you, (for you must appeal unto the Lord for all things whatsoever ye must do with them) behold, no power of earth or hell can take them from you, for God is powerful to the fulfilling of all his words. we can see through the Words of Alma that God is faithful always to us he seeks our obedience to his commandments God will never never leave you nor forsake you he is true to his word he will bless you and your seed by keeping his words !

Absolutely I agree 100 percent ! We are broken people Heavenly Father can use Broken people to fulfill his will that’s why we needed the atonement of Jesus Christ because of the fall of Adam and Eve when God completes his work with us we are beautiful diamonds that were in the rough thanks for a great word !

There are a lot of Parallels with the Book of Mormon and the Bible especially when we see lehi and his family and the Liahona the children of Israel were alike that’s why I believe Sister hands down the Book of Mormon is the truth translated by the Prophet JS !
